    No no noooo.. It is a waste of money, 20, 000 entree fee. First of all, the dust is all over the place, you can barely see the creatures. Second, they don't take care of the mummified animals. Third, the place smells horrible like death.. Not to mention the living insects inside. Shouldn't call it a museum, but a smelly dead animals warehouse!!

    A very bad idea for children. They showed the animals in a very ugly way, its like you are in some horror movie. The setup and the smell and the sounds they put there are terrible. And the famous guide who is walking with you all the time and with very poor and wrong information! Who said that you need someone to accompany you in a museum????? All you need is a piece of paper with all the description of the animals you are seeing there with the directions where you should go in order to arrive to the exit door! Please! For all these reasons i think this museum was empty! No one was there except us. Its sad. Unfortunately not recommended.

    Very nice experience with a wide collection. The smell is minor and only in the marine section dure to decaying fish but acceptable. Guide is very nice but has some wrong information. I enjoyed the visit and so did my 3 children.

    A collection of stuffed animals (no live animals)

  • 4/5 Merfily M. 1 year ago on Google • 105 reviews
    It is funny that in the middle of the mountain there is marine life museum! But it is not just that, there are several animals and other rocks and crystals insects and butterflies. Tour guide was friendly and offered to take pictures of us. Yet didn't say much about the several sights we were passing through. There were several live snakes, almost the only living animals on display. The entire tour would need about 30-45 minutes to complete depending on how long you want to stay look at things. Iiked fossils and history related to them the most. Fun fact: If your kid is a fan of sponge bob, he/she will enjoy seeing the real deal!

    A traumatic experience for any child !! Awful place. Overly expensive. Low maintenance. All the specimens are decaying and badly displayed, not to mention the terrible smells.

    Terrible. The mummified animals aren't at all well taken care of, the smell is bad, and there is dust all over the place, no wonder why the museum was half empty. A terrible place to bring kids and a not very enjoyable experience for adults. The museum was okay back in the day but now it's just an overpriced warehouse full of dead animals and no catalogue or brochure, with bad guides.

    Would love to visit again. All sort of animals even found in lebanon you won't believe existed and learning interesting facts. The collection is well displayed and well preserved, and you enjoy the walk between exhibits.
