Impressive collection of dinos, beautifully exposed. Explanations are quite old-fashioned and some interactive displays need maintenance, but overall worth the visit.

Carl Griffin

The interactive displays make this museum a lot more than just a collection of stuffed animals.

Nicholas Hall

Great museum with extensive exhibits , lovely architecture especially in the dinosaur area, insects on 4th floor is very extensive although in need of updating

Johan Coppens

Too little known Museum (with a big M!) which surprised me with its extensive and diverse collections. Has some remarkable things in store, worth the visit if you ever find yourself in Brussels.

Olga F

Great place both for children and adults. They have 3 possible routs which will take you up to 3 hours.Must visit for dinosaurs fans.

Shadi J.

It is very nice place specially for kids to learn and see so many things about Natural Science and the particularly about animals and human!

Ricardo Michel

Dinosaurs ! Museums in Europe are really nice, it could compete with NYC's one.

Erwin Vanhecke

The temporary exhibitions about humans evolution and the brain are worth the visit.

The muzeum is infested with children. Mind that you won't see the exhibitions in peace and quiet .

Horrible infrastructure

Greg H

Architecture magnifique, collection exceptionnelle. Circulation labyrinthique. Pedagogiquement lamentable. Un bon résumé de notre belgitude: un patrimoine fantastique mais incapable de l'exploiter...

Lola Ravaldi

Musée magnifique ! Pour les couples qui veulent être au calme , préférer le vendredi après midi pour faire votre visite.

Sanne Thijs

Zeer afgeleefd museum. Uiteraard is hun collectie opgezette dieren interessant. Maar overal is het vuil of zijn de interactieve spellen kapot. Voor jonge kinderen dus zeer vervelend.

Manu Declerck

Minpunten: gebrekkige kennis vh Nederlands bij sommige personeelsleden & tijdelijke expo 'animal babies' was een sof. Pluspunt: de overweldigende dinoskeletten natuurlijk!

P.O.Box: MOSCOW

Большой и интересный музей . Множество экспонатов. Познавательно и увлекательно.

Lilicherryrose

Tem muitas brincadeiras para as crianças! Lanchamos lá e sentamos em uma mesa no meio de um monte de italianos! +++

Marina Aubert

Les animations multimedia ont été réparées! Les enfants sont contents!

Lauranne

Expo geniale pour les petits. Baby Animals! Juste parfait .

Katrien Dierckx

Het museum heeft veel potentieel, maar is een beetje vergane glorie... het kan een update naar 2017 gebruiken.

Cindy Piskor

Heel mooi museum in hartje Brussel.

FrenchConnect

Passez un super moment avec vos enfants , les grands dino ou découvrez l'expo sur les 5 sens (jusqu'en septembre 2012)

Lucien Herbiet

Tout, sans presque aucune exception est en panne ! Expo pour les enfants 'complète' après avoir tourné 1h pour trouver une place de parking . Budget mal dépensé.

Gaétane Verwilghen

Expo baby animaux très décevante. Adaptée aux tout-petits enfants mais pour les plus de 4ans,pas géniale. Mini-expo,pas bcp d'apprentissage.on est déçus.

Grégory Verachtert

N'est plus ce qu'il était dans mes souvenirs ... Un petit coup de frais s'impose !

Depret

Vestiaire gratuit

Emeric Flatres

Très déçu, il faut investir pour rafraîchir un peu ....

Chamallow????

C'est plus ce que c'était! Trop enfantin et beaucoup de salles fermées!! Déçue!
