An entry fee is not necessary - all you need is to drop a donation in a box. The museum is spread over 3 levels. So better pack some time for the countless artifacts spread all around. Some very very old and some very rare. Nice campus as well.

Very nice museum it looked to me more like the private collection of McGill university ( one o the most prestigious and oldest universities in Canada ) than your typical museum . It’s more oriented toward Biodiversity, Mineralogy, Palaeontology and World Cultures. They have a very nice collections from rocks to animals to civilizations. The Admission to the Museum is by voluntary contribution. If you can afford it. 10$ will do, for a family 20 $ will do. Def worth checking out also they a free 360 Virtual Tour from McGill University, you can check the museum on your device!y

A total gem in Montreal. Exploring the museum feels like visiting Indiana Jones' home. From mummies to dinosaurs to enormous crabs, this place has it all. The size is such that you can easily fit it into your day and enjoy every exhibit. Our 3.5 year old daughter loved it, running about and finding new wonders to be excited for. Well worth the suggested donation and then some!

Great little museum on the McGill campus. Admission by donation. Gives you a taste of natural and cultural history without being overwhelming. Three floors of exhibits including: shells, minerals, dinosaur bones, taxidermy animals, mummies. The historic building is beautiful. I don’t believe that there are elevators or any way for people with mobility issues to access the museum.

We had a great time seeing all the exhibits Marine life, animal life, dinosaurs, world cultures, ancient Egypt, humanoid evolution  they have it all.

Our family visited the Red Path Museum in Montreal. Finding close parking was challenging. Please note there are no elevators; the museum spans three floors accessible only by stairs, so it's not stroller-friendly. Leave strollers at home. Despite this, it's a good museum, and we recommend planning for 1-2 hours. Admission is based on voluntary contributions.

Amazing place! Old schooll natural museum!

Smallish museum on the McGill university grounds. 2 and a half floors of exhibits in a historic building. Beware there are no elevators or air conditioning in the building. Admission is by donation. Lots of mineral and natural exhibits. A great way to spend an hour or so.

This is a very nice museum of natural history, I can strongly recommend visiting it. The collection of minerals there is much better than one of the Ottawa museum. The only problem I've seen there is that the majority of items are covered in dust and look like they're lacking some care. I hope this museum will have more visitors and more donations that will help to make the connection shining as it deserves.

Free entry and some nice displays. It's less a museum to see the newest and best exhibits, but rather a place to see how museums once looked. Most displays are outdated and look strange, but that's the cool thing about it. Definitely worth a stop, even if you only want to see the big room upstairs.

A great place to see some of Canada’s natural history. This is the site of the first university and the first lecture hall in Canada. It is also the first university in Canada, to allow women to pursue an education. This museum houses pieces from Ancient Greece and Rome, Shinto Japan, and the kingdoms of Africa and Australia. It also contains both contemporary creatures and those from millions of years ago: giant tortoise, raptors, and monsters of the deep. You will not be disappointed by a visit here and to top it off: it is free. Enjoy!

The exhibition is great. We spend 2 and a half hours there. Must see. And it is free.

It is not a big museum but really good museum for the kids. A good place to drop by for sure. Additionally, the McGill campus is really nice too. The exhibition is free 2nd there is a box at the front door if you want to donate.

The museum is by the side of the library, overlooking the lower McGill field. It was a place to destress during my McGill days. The museum have a lot of interesting collection on the historical and living earth, biological, geological, civilizational and cultural aspects. Allow a lot of imagination for all ages to travel back in time and spaces. Moreover, it is free. A voluntary donation is highly recommend to encourage staff to keep up the good work.

Such a cool little museum! It's actually one of the oldest museums in Canada. I wish I could've stayed longer but I only arrived 30 minutes prior to closing. It's free admission with a recommended donation. Will visit again, thanks.

Awesome collection of pieces. A little bit of everything. They warn you when you go in that there is no elevator or Air-conditioned, the 3rd floor gets very hot. Would recommend going early in the day to beat the heat.

People who visit Montreal have to go to Redpath Museum of Natural history im McGill university. I visited there with my daughter,Jenny. We were happy to see many amaizng historic things. She might go to McGill university if she can't go to Yonsei university. It is up to her will.

Great museum on the campus of McGill University.

This is a wonderful medium museum where locate in McGill Campus closing to the Mont Royal. There are a bunch of animal specimens which are lovely and vivid. You can also see the geographical samples area on the second floor." It's fun for the geographical person. In addition, there are othe rare antiques, like genuine mummy and so on. Overall, it's a well- funded museum which is good for seeing animals.

An absolute must if you're in Montreal. I'm especially fond of their gorgeous collection of minerals and seashells. Another part I absolutely love is the history of our planet. Very nice explanations for all ages (pun intended!). They also have a huge collection of taxidermy. They have varied exhibits and the staff there is very knowledgeable; don't be afraid to ask questions!

So much history, the guided tours are really interesting, overall a fun visit where even the building shows its history. Just be mindful that there's no AC or elevator.

I loved the location within the lovely McGill University Campus, the architecture of the Museum and the 1888 style of display. Fabulous to visit and enjoy

Visiting the Montreal Redpath Museum is always a pleasure. The McGill campus in the fall is wonderful. The diverse collection of fossils, rocks, and skeletons never fails to captivate my interest. It's a fantastic place to learn and explore the wonders of the natural world especially for younger audiences. However, the museum could benefit from some updates to enhance the overall experience. Nonetheless, it remains a valuable resource for both education and enjoyment. Make sure to make a donation!

This museum is the best to which I've ever been!. It is a perfect escape to another time. The exhibits are extraordinary and not overwhelming. You can see so much in a digestible time frame for all attention spans. Truly memorable!

Go see the minerals, the sea shells, the taxidermy, the skeletons, the biggest crab you'll ever see in your life, a gigantic clam, a huge Buddha. Have I got your attention? Drop what you're doing and give your kids an experience they won't forget.

great public museum, they have mummies, dinosaurs, and other stuff

Admission fee is by donation and there is so much to see. Went to learn more about the Carboniferous Era and stayed for about 2.5-3 hours.

It is free. I recommend it. Is small, but have a good collection and information about the life on Earth. Close early, at 5 p.m.

Been told this is a great place to visit and it’s FREE! Lots to look at, and lots to read. They were renovating and apparently didn’t display a lot of other cool stuff. But walking in where the T-Rex was located, was like me walking into a film set for first Jurassic Park film 😂😂 Highly recommended! Did I mention it's free? 😇

The location is smack dab in the middle of downtown on McGills campus. Signage if you are arriving from anywhere is very poor. I understand that it is a university run museum but a small fee instead of a voluntary donation will greatly help with the upkeep of the museum. Like the addition of an HVAC system would make those summer month visits more enjoyable. Perhaps the addition of an elevator. But as far as the exhibits go, you have a lot to look forward to. However the displays are a mishmash of information and there is no clear direction of what the museum is trying to be. It's still great but can be vastly improved.

It is an amazing Free museum. Lot of history, cultures and generation covered. Admission is absolutely free, although voluntary donations are appreciated and encouraged, and they have dinosaurs. Among other things.

Some interesting specimens and information on evolutionary development. Displays are dated and poorly lit, but expected in a "free " museum. Donations are available and deserved, worthwhile if you like natural history. Does not take a lot of time to visit, but you can gain some more knowledge of the past and present world.

A wonderful way to spend an hour or so on our brief 3 day vist to Montreal. My family are natural history museum buffs so this place was a must for us. Focused on Candian natural history in an 1882 Greek-Revival building constructed specifically to be a museum. The Victorian feel make you expect to see Charles Darwin (who coincidentally died in 1882) checking out the specimen drawers.

This was a great stop on a long weekend in Montreal. A very cool small museum with some really interesting exhibits. It’s located in a beautiful historic building on the McGill University campus. We spent about an hour and a half here The entry fee was free / by donation which was a nice surprise. I would recommend checking it out if you are in the area.

Great museum to see a lot of artifacts in a condensed space. The building itself is is off amazing architecture. You will find large wooden doors with amazing door knobs. Admission is by donation. There are washrooms on site.

What a abundance of history and resources! Free admission too! Respect <3

From Japan:) Perfect place to satisfy biological curious. They have so many exhibits like as animal bones, fossils and minerals, etc. Great for children and students. 10 dollars are suggested as admission fee for adults.

Nice collections. Not a huge museum but very interesting. Also don't need tickets to get in, but donations are welcome. Undergrad students manage the collections from my understandings.

The museum and its displays were fantastic and I had a ton of fun exploring. My only complaint is that I struggled quite a bit with accessibility - there is a flight of stone stairs to get inside, and the museum is over three floors with only stairs to get from one floor to the other. Plus, the placement of certain exhibits on the stairs prevented me from using the railing or using the wall for support as I usually do. If accessibility is not a concern for you, though, I would highly recommend this museum !

It's a great place to learn about the past. Great exhibition of fossils. It's good to spend some time with your family, friends or a date.

Went with my roommate just to check it out, it's a nice afternoon excursion and free for McGill students. Very cool collection of rocks, if that is what you are interested, and also an impressive collection of seashells. Unfortunately most of the displays are a bit outdated, but the stuff that doesn't age is really cool.

I have tons of amazing memories from visiting when I was younger, the amount of artifacts was impressive. Impatiently waiting for the reopening of this museum, however. We miss you!

Always excited to visit. You don’t need to buy a ticket however a set amount of donation is appreciated (for adults and families). It is probably the only museum in Montreal where kids can go free of charge.

The only downside to this museum is their opening schedule. Theyre only open during normal work hours, but otherwise they have a great assortment of specimens and displays!

Super interesting and eclectic museum. Free/donation so worth the price of admission and is on the McGill campus so that’s a bonus. If you are interested in geology/rocks you’ll be in heaven, but plenty of other things to appreciated and learn about for the rest of us. Student supported so that’s a nice feature of this museum.

For some reason, their opening hours and days are always wrong here on Google. It was even showing open in summer of 2021 when it has actually been closed for a year now due to the pandemic - and it's not know when they will be opening again. Through the door glass I could see the items inside the museum were all wrapped for protection (dust, etc). As for the museum itself, while it's at a very small scale, it's a little tiny copy of the Natural History Museum in London (UK). Don't expect much, but you will like the 'old wooden library' feeling inside.

Nice museum which probably already looked like that in 1900, nothing fancy but interesting nonetheless

My 8yr old is obsessed with minerals and this place did not disappoint. A huge collection of minerals and stones. As well as lots of other interesting things to keep us amused. Free entry with a donation at the door, worth noting there's no air con so on a hot day it's pretty warm the higher you climb up the stairs.
