What this place lacks in size it makes up for the variety and number of bone exhibits it has. It feels like any other museum you normally would visit however the guides are fantastic. They are quite knowledgeable and are making a seemingly boring exhibit into a fun and educational one. One of a kind experience in Davao and definitely must do.

A little bit of a surprise to find something like this museum. But it is really worth visiting. Not large depending on your interest your visit may be an hour or even two. There is many different animals (skeletons) to see from land and water, birds, and also insects. The presentation is nicely done. Appealing and informative. And there is also a focus and info on environmental issues and protection of animals. A lot to learn in this place. I really recommend also to visit for families with kids. There also is a museum store and we were able to park our car on the property.

A nice experience to have. This is the only bone museum in Southeast Asia. You will learn not only about the bones but you'll soon realize how important it is to care for the environment and be a responsible human. The place offers a tour guide who eagerly explained the bones of the animals. It is amazing to note that some of those animals on display died because of human errors and greediness. Overall, I recommend this place to tourists and students. Oh! They have discounts for kids, students and senior citizens too..

It was such a blast, I had fun with each section. I recommend it to anyone trying to visit!

Educational and one of a kind! Staffs were really dedicated and do their best to accommodate tourists and guests. Fee was reasonable around 250.00. Souvenirs are inside the museum. Good for families and learners at heart. Luckily just we are to leave, the owner arrived!! Woahh

Kudos to the guide of D' Bone Collector Museum . I am very amazed by the place.

Nice museum it cost us 200 pesos for 2 adults we got a nice tour guide to show us all the exhibits and tell us about them. It looks small from the outside but it is surprising how much is in there. I don't think there is any wheelchair access though I didn't see any lift. Definitely worth the visit

A very informative museum about animals surrounding us through preservation of their bone structures. This 3-story Museum is best for those animal-lovers out there. They have very friendly staff and tour guide and Mr. Darrel, the founder, is so accommodating. They have a wide array of animal bones from animals that live on land, sea and air. Operating Hours: Mon-Fri(10am-5pm) & Sat (1pm-5pm). Entrance Fee at P80 Adults & P70 kids.

Update: Road still under construction going there. They accept school photo with uniform or ID for student discounts. Pricepoint, we paid 250 adult and 200 for discounted students. It was worth it for the bone collections presented. Ambiance was also good with aircondition, highly educational and bones were displayed well. Missing some interactive parts for kids like mini maze or even mini fossil puzzle games. The cave idea was great although it had a small area of the tour(cave with mirror illusion,mine-like ambiance). The marine fossils was amazing as it had the largest fossil only problem is that you cant have a proper picture with it because of its huge size. The staff was very accomodating and did their job well. They also have a souvenir shop, we bought some dino figurine and dino fossil excavating toy which was very interactive and fun. Overall the experience was worth a try and a must for locals. sad that very few people i know, knows this place and it is higly recommended as there are few museums like this.

Most of the bones displayed here are remains of animals found within the Philippine area. They also have replicas of dinosaur bones. Entrance fee for adults is Php 100, the museum provides a guided tour for the three floor display that they have. It was very educational and interesting.

✅Should have been a 5 star rating, but unfortunately we have to park in a parking space near VXI and have to walk from there due to the construction of the road, no motorcycle or car can go in the museum. The walk is just a few minute walk, but I don’t recommend this place to visit for people who come with senior citizen or PWD because its not safe. See the first video for reference. I know its not the establishment’s fault, but it would have been better if they put a bigger signage. We got lost on our way there, sayang ang time namin paikot2x sa maze. We went there this month, MARCH 2023 and I dont know when will the construction end. ✅Entrance as of March 2023 is 250 per head ✅There is a tour guide (Jewel) who is very informative and very accommodating, kudos! ✅My son enjoyed the tour so much, esp when he saw the dino bones. Unfortunately, he knows what a replica is and he got a lil bit disappointed. 😂 He loves dinosaurs and he was perplexed why there is a dino bone here in the Philippines (that was before he knew it was a replica) ✅The tour was bitter sweet because we realized how the humans are killing our mother earth. But it was also a teacheable moment for our 8 year old and the next generations to come - to take care of our environment by just simply not throwing plastic on the ocean, using biodegradable materials, not using leather products, not buying ivory products basta daghan! Humans are evil 😒

This museum has 3 floors. the first one is small and just a small preview, before you go to the second much bigger one. 250php per person is a ticket, and you have your own personal guide. My guide today was amazing. Girl was able to say so much about everything there and so many interesting facts about animals that I never knew about. Same you will be able to get background obout some of the animals, how did they die, and you will be probably very suprised! Please visit this museum if you have a chance, and after you leave the museum, have everything that they will tell you for a long time in your head. Keep the pollution in the world to minimum from your side, as human impacts on the animals' world is huge! The smallest trash in the ocean could kill a big majestic creature. Be good to the world and keep animals safe!

Great place for kids and kids at heart. The museum has 3 floors to explore they showcase bones and remains of different kinds of animals from land, sea, and air. They close their doors at 5 pm. We were lucky enough to meet the owner who allowed us to have a picture of the yellow snake. It was a fun-filled activity and our kids loved it.

We went into Downtown Davao City and found this very interesting museum! The Bone Museum! We went there right after lunchtime and had the place to ourselves for a wonderful private tour which they provided at not extra cost! The staff are wonderful, helpful and kind! We learned lots of interesting information about a number of skeletons and bones related to the Philippines and all around the world! They had a display from my home state, Alaska! Well worth a look and a great place to bring the kids! Prices were very reasonable and they have Senior discounts.

Love the place. Good guide too. We bought a lot of their merchandise. 😁 ..It was a bit hard to find though. The road going there was small and part of it was being fixed. So we had to walk a bit. But it was worth it. The kids and kids at heart enjoyed the place.

D'Bone Collector Museum - a small museum founded by an American bone collector, Darrell D. Blatchley, opened in 2012 with the hope of educating people about caring for the environment (some of the marine animals on display died, for example, as a result of ingesting plastic). A collection with over 700 skeletons. Some of them Blatchey had been collecting since childhood; others have been donated to the museum from around the world, including Canada, Russia, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines.

Very nice, you need to search for it. But its nice for 45 minutes

Good to have a tuor guide inside the building.. 3 floors in all 😍 be sure to use google maps for the direction

PROS: - Free english tour guide. - Many great exhibits and species. - Plenty of free parking onsite. - Small souvenir store. CONS: - Odd location. Diffiicult to access for tourists. - No AC on upper level. - No videos allowed and no onsite Wifi.

Get the free guided tour for 45 minutes. Please tip afterwords. Better than walking by yourself.

This is a must visit. Omg... what a fantastic place...and in Davao !!! I dont believe that there is any other place like this in the country. They have an amazing collection on bones. The presentation is 1st class. Massively brilliant place for kids to learn about animals. Every parent should take their children to visit. ... it not only for kids though its fantastic for everybody. The staff are fantastic to and our tour guide was amazing. Place in down a small road where you end up wondering where you are going or you think your in the wrong place.... then the building on the out side is not much to talk about.... then you venture in... and wow.... dinosaur bones... Please please put this place on your list to visit... places like this need all the funds they can get. It is a must visit. P.s. there is lots of parking for cars.

Entrace Fee: P150 Offers guided tours of the 3 storey museum. Staff would usually do shifting for tours, but all seems organized. Staffs are very knowledgeable of each bone in display, the tour was composed of explaining how they obtained the bones and cause of its death. Getting there is a little bit hard though. Crowded but safe street. You can also take a tricycle/padyak to get in/out from/to the main road. Nothing much to enjoy if you walked. Overall experience was great! Interesting site to visit if you are near Roxas Street exploring.

Davao, Bone Collector Museum is a museum with animal skeletons from around the world, and preserved animals from various countries in the world. It also serves as an education center to learn about the life and death of those animals. You will be happy to see about the wonderful animal world around us.

We visited this place last Monday and I got to say I was really impressed with how many collections they have. Entrance fee is 150PHP, I tell you now, it is really worth it! I managed to take some videos until I was told that it wasn't allowed (Woops). There will be a tour guide who assists you throughout the visit and is knowledgeable with every specie displayed.

Great place to bring kids to learn the cricle of life, while spreading awareness the harm of human trash can cost our sea and the effect in marine life, which I hope makes us more responsible with trash and not to throw then by the sea. also bonus I got the privilege to meet the founder/owner of the D'Bone Collection & Museum who gave souvenirs to the kids which was really nice!

Finally made it to the largest bone museum in Asia. Can't believe it took me this long, being a born and raised Davaoeña! The tour was incredibly educational, thanks to a knowledgeable guide. Dr. Darrell Blatchley, the owner, was gracious in sharing stories and plans about the museum. Definitely worth a visit!

It's very interesting. They have a huge collection of animal bones from dog bones to even whale bones. What I loved about my visit was the museum staff actually gives a tour of the place and really gives you very interesting tidbits and facts about the bones in their collection. There is an entrance fee of 250 pesos but it's pretty fair I would say

Brilliant little museum It's located in a narrow backstreet of Davao, but the street itself is interesting and full of tuktuks, fruit and meat stands. It's an experience in itself. The museum staff were very knowledgeable and friendly and the tour was excellent. The museum had heaps of bones. That's for sure. Worth a visit. Also they sell civet coffee for cheap (compared to kultura)

Bones, bones, and more bones! We had a great guided tour and learned a lot along the way. I’d be hard pressed to think of an animal that wasn’t represented in this collection.

Staff were helpful and very informative during our museum tour (Kim -staff). Lots of things to discover.

It's one man's passion for educating people about the environment. The building is tucked away in a busy residential neighborhood with narrow roads. There are three floors of displays, with a few clever jokes and mythological creatures hidden among a large collection of osteological specimens. The top floor has an impressive display of specimens fron the sea.

The location is not easily accessible. It's in the middle of residential area. The smell is suffocating but other than these, my experience was great. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, calm, courteous, friendly and the collections are amazing. The museum really had vast collection but we were told that there's a lot more currently not on displayed. I hope they can find a bigger home for the bones and more accessible to the public.

DBCM is owned by an American family that takes archeology very seriously because of their love for the Philippines and its preservation. We were astonished to listen to the vast knowledge they knew about the Philippines and the many different animals and species! The tour is excellent and extremely a must see adventure. You will not be disappointed 😌! The eco system will survive with more people like this family! 5☆ Easy

Private and donated collection of bones of anals and mammals. Free guide Entrance fee is 250PH pesos.(about US$5)

A very fun, interesting, and informative experience. They have a large variety and collection of bones, bugs, butterflies, and even gemstones. It was fascinating to see these real bones of foreign animals which you would never encounter in the Philippines. The guide/tour was accomodating and had expertise in explaining the origin, facts, and even questions we had about the bones in the museum. It was an unexpected place and I never knew about it until I visited. The location was hard to get into because of the cramped streets though they do have a parking area for guests. Overall, totally worth it.

A rare museum full of meaningful stories from the fossils and bones collected. I strongly recommend this spot when you want to visit Davao City

Place is educational, good for school field trips but the entrance fee (items on sale) are too expensive. Entrance is P200 for adult and P180 for kids. It's a nice place but not worth the pricey entrance fee.

Amazed by the fossils and animal bones featured in this museum. It somehow awares us to take care of the environment and be also responsible with all the things that surrounds us in order to protect especially our wildlife. The museum guide is good in explaining each of the exhibit displays.

A highly appreciated enthusiast who preserves bone of different species. Best for educational trip. It also helps the local to be fully aware of the importance of each living thing to the ecosystem. It helps in educating everyone to value the environment. Additionally, it is also a way to protect the endemic, endangered species found in the city. Moreover, because of its preservation on the bone museum, it will help the next generation to see the beauty of nature.

We loved our visit to the museum! Our guide was friendly and entertaining. It's well worth the price of entry.
