We went during the Thursday free time (5pm-8pm) and had a great experience. It was busy with lots of families but not too much. The exhibits are really cool and there are multiple floors to explore. We spent 3 hours but we could easily have spent 5 or 6 hours exploring.

The blue whale was a highlight! The kids liked the Arctic exhibit with the ice. There was a new bistro that's not quite up and running yet. Bring your own food.

Very cool expositions although since I came there 1 hour 30 minutes before closing, I did not have time to see all. There is a lot of kids there and a lot of it is made for them to understand. If you don't like children, you might be annoyed.The building itself is amazing and there is information about its history and architecture.It's definitely worth the price of the tickets.

What an amazing experience for the children! Every floor has something cool and exciting for them to learn. The different games and diplays are great for children of all ages.We happen to have arrived on a Thursday and were pleasantly surprised that our tickets were free for the evening.

The Museum of Nature is an incredible place to explore and learn about the natural world. The exhibits are well-designed and informative, with interactive displays that engage visitors of all ages. The highlight for me was the dinosaur exhibit, which features life-sized models and fossils that transport you back in time to the age of these magnificent creatures.The museum also has a great collection of specimens from around the world, including rare and exotic animals.The staff at the museum are knowledgeable and friendly, always willing to answer questions and provide additional information about the exhibits. The gift shop is also worth checking out, with a wide range of nature-themed souvenirs and educational toys.Overall, I highly recommend visiting the Museum of Nature for anyone interested in science or nature. It's a great way to spend an afternoon or even a whole day exploring and learning about our amazing

Loved the place, a very nicely designed museum in a very gorgeous looking historical building. It has a total of four floors to visit and we took steps because even they are beautiful. Its wheelchair accessible. Has a cafe and a very pretty gift shop. It has a good amount of seating on every floor and some outside patio as well, which makes it perfect to enjoy your snacks outside on a pretty day. They had a live display of a few birds of prey and a display of bugs !! So many wonderful fantastic bugs. Overall, it was a fabulous trip. Kids had a blast as well.

I really liked this museum, and I didn't even know it existed. Came from Montreal to see the tulip festival, and by luck, I decided to have brunch nearby. When I saw I had to stop and visit. Loved it. Well kept place with nice exhibition, not crazy expensive. I enjoyed every minute, and I highly recommend a visit.

This museum was fantastic. Spread over 5 floors (including basement), in a historical building. Was beautiful. We gave ourself 2 hours because we thought our 3yr old son wouldn't last longer - but because of all the exhibits and interactive things, we easily could have done 3hours. But if you are just adults.... you need a LOT of time to actually read and appreciate it all.Under the canopy exhibit was going on while we were there - very cool! Loved seeing the sloth. A few things for kids to take pictures with and sit on.A great location for owls on the back terrace - my son loved this.Live insects in the basement are a must see.Will go again and again.

A very well organized museum with tons of displays. On weekends, parking is free on streets around the museum. You can also get an hour of free visit.Spare around 3+ hours for the visit. Dinosaurs, birds, mammals, earth, sea creatures, bugs, wolves and a lot more to explore.Overall, a very informative visit for kids & adults alike.
