Haven’t been here in over 20 years but went with my kid today. Amazing to relive this place through his eyes and the exhibits are amazing. Free of charge and very kid friendly!

Absolutely fantastic, especially that it is free for everyone. They have tons of exhibits. I would love to have English translations on exhibit plaques though!

There are plenty of animals to be seen here, plan your time and take it easy while you are walking through the museum. It's free of charge and a very good way to show your small one different types of animals. There is a coffee shop but also an area where you can eat your own food. And of course a souvenir shop could be found here as well

I could not resist having a look around the museum when I was in the Slottsskogen and saw it was free entry! An interesting place with plenty to see. There is a diverse range of animals and displays throughout. There must literally be a life size version of nesrly every bird in history, it must be literally thousands on display. The actual size whale skeleton room was impressive and also the main room with life size elephant in the middle surrounded by lots of other animals and displays. A great place for a family to visit with children. The gift shop has some very nice little crafted goods, amongst the usual stuffed toy animals.

Amazing experience! Very interesting museum located mostly in city center in Slottskogen! You can visit this museum free of charge. Perfect place for families with kids! This museum has very large animals, birds and insects collection! Very interesting was to see dinosaur bones! Staff was friendly and helpful! It’s was nice museum shop with a great minerals collection! Definitely recommend this place to visit for all people! We will come back!

Gothenburg Natural History Museum could easily charge entrance fees and that wouldn’t deter visitors as it’s such an excellent museum that’s well put together with impressive, well-maintained exhibits. It’s easy to spend 1-2 hours at this museum just appreciating the different types of exhibits they had within the realm of natural history, from bird life to marine creatures. A good spot for a very low-cost day out with the family or even a date. They have a very good souvenir store too. If ever in Gothenburg, I would highly recommend a visit to this lovely museum. The Ontario Science Centre could learn a thing or two from this fantastic, free, science / natural history museum in Gothenburg!

Fascinating, I never knew there were so many birds, I was shocked to see how big a whale was. Absolute amazing museum and it costs nothing!

It was really a great exhibit. The beached whale exhibit was spectacular. Seeing the elephants and many other animals was also a great experience! Can’t believe this place is free!! Also a nice cafe inside to eat your own packed lunch!

(Translated by Google) Free entry, an interesting and clean exhibition. Overall, a great visit and a clear recommendation. (Original) Kostenloser Eintritt, eine interessante und saubere Ausstellung. Insgesamt ein toller Besuch und eine klare Weiterempfehlung.

Easily one of the best museums I have been to. The interior is beautiful, you will learn a lot of interesting things about our environment and get to look at what feels like thousands of animals, from microorganisms to mammals. The Whale hall itself was worth the visit. The entrance is free so there is no reason not to go :)

Beautiful old fashioned museum with an amazing collection of birds. Don't miss out on the story about "Malmska valen", it's sooo weird (and sad for the whale) There are free admission, and it's well worth spending a few hours there.

Entry is free... A lot of animals to see, the exhibition are rich , albeit a bit old fashioned not many interactive pieces. Really the best museum of natural history, also for the reason that is free entry. This is pretty cool for everyone who want to visit.

I love this museum. It's the perfect size to go with young children as it's not too big and easy to get around with a stroller or wheelchair. There's a small café for refreshments and the museum is located opposite the playground in within the wonderful slottsskogan. It's a all round winner for a fun family day out.

I just loved it! Free entrance is a great opportunity for everybody to visit the museum. Loved also the cafeteria and the shop inside the museum.

We really enjoyed today’s visit! Free entry is a plus. Must visit in Gothenburg

En excellent natural history museum with information displays in English and Swedish. The museum begins with microrginismal life, through to sponges and cnidarians, then on to arthropods. The vertebrate displays are massive and include thousands of taxidermied birds, mammals, and the world's only taxidermied whale. Do visit if you are in Gothenburg! Restaurant closed under covid but you can buy ice cream and soda using Swish

It is a wonderful place to see different species of the animals. Even though the animals are not alive, they give impression of being alive. Sometimes they take you to Africa, sometimes you find yourself in the Arctic. Also I have to mention about the lady who works at the entrance. You should definitely meet her, she is very helpful and always has a smiling face.

The best collection of bird taxidermy I have ever seen. Beats the National History Museum in London, which displays only a handful of species in comparison. Some of the exhibits here date back to the 19th century! Of course some examples are a bit goofy but for early taxidermy they still hold up pretty nicely. You can compare different bird species across the world, including such continents like the Americas, Australia, Europe and Asia. There is also a room showing early dioramas showing birds in their natural habitats. These are ingenious and nice to look at. A different great room is devoted to marine animals, with the big blue whale model towering over other sea mammals. Another impressive encounter is in the land mammals section, where you can find a preserved African Elephant. I would only complain that the absence of English labels is quite painful. I could not learn about the dioramas or a Swedish scientist who prepared them, also all animals are only presented by their Swedish and Latin name. There are also minor inconveniences, like a faulty elevator or an uninspired shop with too little actual scientific books. The collection is great but I would hope for some more adjustment to make the experience more enjoyable!

It is awesome and wonderful museum. Beautifully maintained. There are many verities of animals and birds which I didn't seen in my life. Out of which some of animals and birds may not be exists in the earth now.

Really nice museum. No entry fees. Had the very good fortune of being there for Walpurgis and the blue whale exhibit was open. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit. One would need many hours to go through everything in there!

A must visit, ofcourse you need patience to go into details.

It's an amazing place. I've been there with my daughter, she is 14 and was really interested and we know how hard is find something interesting for teens 😉 sometimes was really sad because this place is like a huge cemetery but we hope these animals were already dead, no one killed them on purpose. We had an opportunity to see many animals that we would never see in our life, we were very surprised that some of them were really big or that butterflies can have so many colors.

This is a great museum. It has an amazing amount of animals. And it's free, all the time, for everyone.

Very, very intersting place. Huge number creatures of earth gathered in one place. From small insects, thru an elephant to a whale. Wow.

Nice museum! The main feature obviously being the whale skeleton and skin, there were also a lot of taxidermied animals of various kinds, especially birds. If you're interested in nature, animals, or biology it's certainly worth a visit. There's a café and a kids area as well.

Rich collection of animal species and captive ways to explain life evolution. I could spend a whole day there. Though, I wish there were more labels and descriptions in English.

It’s a really nice fun cool interesting place. It’s a huge place and there is so much to see. I went with my boyfriend and it was something different yet we both enjoyed it so much. We were fascinated by most of the things. I’ve went with my sister and friends and it was just as fun. Very beautiful place.

Wonderful museum, that too free of cost. The Taxidermy section is amazing. The stuffed animals are quite realistic. Kids will definitely love this.

I love museums of natural history anywhere, so it's hard for me to give bad stars, but this museum feels very outdated. We were there last weekend and they closed the whale room for renovation, that's probably a good idea although we were disappointed because I heard that was the main attraction of this museum. That said, they have a very extensive collection of birds!!! It's crazy how much (preserved) birds they have on the 2nd floor. I'm a bird lover so it's fascinating for me to see all these. Will recommend to anyone who is curious about nature and want to learn more

It's the love and detail that went into the exhibits, with craftsmanship that exemplifies the beauty which makes these old Natural history museums with their architecture a lovely afternoon out

Very nice museum, showcasing not only animals, but also a beautiful and natural composition of their surroundings. Real attention to detail. This is however, not so much a natural history museum, but more so a collection of animals. It could benefit from a more in-depth story about evolution and the history of the earth.

Amazing how this place has been maintained..

This is a free and open museum. There are many specimens of animals, including whales and African elephants. There is also a pavilion introducing geology and various minerals. Delicious restaurants. You can make your own waffles. Many fun souvenirs. Definitely a place worth visiting.

Museum with a mind-boggling range of preserved animals. From insects to elephants, you can find it here. Especially the bird collection was impressive. And the whale hall was astounding to say the least. I highly recommend spending an hour or two here to take in the sights.

It was the first time here, it's huge range of animals can be find here, the entry is free and the staff is very very helpful! Definitely we gonna come back :)

Love going here for the weird and wacky taxidermy on some of their animal exhibits. Always a great place to take the kid(s).

The only reason why I want to do this museum is the actually seen the only example in the whole world of a blue whale alive (like not made from plastic but from the real dead whale). The experience was amazing and everyone or so polite. If you are a student you just give your student card and you enter there for free .

First time I see (and probably only time, since this one seems to be the only specimen of) a dissected whale!! I have no idea walruses were so big! There's also a model of a now extinct animal As usual, you will come out of this place knowing a lot more than what you did before you came in. You'll also probably see 45 birds you hadn't seen before. Beautiful selection and excellent organization. I'm not a huge fan of insects, so I just went really quickly through that section, but I enjoyed the rest quite a lot. Obviously, extra points for the stegosaurus 💜

Lot of work done to preserve and create replicas of nature , must be appreciated..

Spacious museum, very accurate, the collections are exhibited in a very nice way. There are enormous skeletons here, worth of admiration. The stuffed animals are as if alive. It is hard to imagine that it is really the original of rhino who lived 5 million years ago laying on the shelf (chilothoerium anderssoni). The souvenir shop offers beautiful goods on the animal’s theme. The entrance was free.

Very nice museum in a historical building. We decided to eat something first, the service was good and the food was nice. The museum itself is set up very spacious with very large exhibits of all kind of animals. The museum is completely free which is nice. The only downside is the location, which is quite a walk from the central station, it can also be reached by public transportation.

The exhibition is free! Good museum that collects a variety of animals, and the specimen is exquisitely produced. A good place you and the children can learn about the nature! Great! 👍

Very nice experience. Entry is free, some animal descriptions that are available for knowledge acquiring are in English which also is very nice.

It worths the visit! I was looking forward to seeing the insects collection and really enjoyed it (very varied, with insects from Sweden and the rest of the world), but the bird collection is even more amazing. I also think that it is a nice place to enjoy with your children, so they can learn the biodiversity that surrounds us and, therefore, appreciate and protect it since the beginning of their lifes. I strongly recommend it!!

Amazing...just amazing...must see place while in Gothenburg ..and is free entry as well..I have not seen so many animals species in my life..great education tool for children. Although, they have been working on few areas so not all place available to see.

This is an old-school natural history museum with some character. It’s also free. Wander around, open some drawers and see beetles and things that were painstakingly prepared by hand a very long time ago so that you, dear museum-goer, could go and gaze upon them today. Don’t miss the whales!

Best museum for natural history in northern europe. (Scandinavia) And IT'S FREE! Amazing and old taxidermy collection.

This is opinion number 3,621 so I am not sure somebody will ever read it. 👮🏽‍♀️🚓ATTENTION I parked close to the park and I received a 500 Korona fine ticket, ask the local guys if you can't read Swedish signs. 👮🏽‍♀️🚓 🦒 Museum is so humongous and so excellently ordered. 🐘They have many pieces to see. 🦅 We spent 4-½ hours here, including a last 15 minute rest in the sofas watching the park. 🦕They also have a nice souvenir store. 🔭 🔬Hard to believe that such a magical place is free of cost to enter. ⭐⭐🌟⭐⭐

Very nice place to visit with kids. A lot of knowledge not only dedicated to adults but also to kids. Free entrance, check the opening hours. It took us (with small kids about 2 hours to see it all. There is also a restaurant inside where you can have lunch or cafe. Very well equiped souvenir shop - if you arre interested.

Great collection. The entrance is free. I would recommend going during the weekdays because it gets super crowded on the weekend.

Great collection of exhibits, mostly taxidermy and the entry price is even better (free). No parking on site, so a short walk through the park is required to access.

Not so big, but huge collection of animals

(Translated by Google) accessible (Original) Lättillgängligt

(Translated by Google) Free entry. A stick is completely dedicated to the stuffed animals, there is hardly an animal that is not represented. Very interesting! (Original) Kostenloser Eintritt.

It's would be nice to have all titles and details in English :)

A great place to spend an afternoon or evening either alone or with friends and family. The museum is free, filled with lots of animals, and easy to navigate. The cafeteria is also cheap, if you need to grab a snack or a light meal.

It’s very educational for kids. But not so much interactive areas or activities that would be so good to have.

(Translated by Google) Interesting museum. Many interesting animals (stuffed). (Original) Intressant museum. Många intressanta djur (uppstoppade).
