The museum is quite big (4 floors) and exhibits are presented very nicely. It’s a pity that all the text are in Spanish (the last star went there). Nevertheless, we got a picturesque experience about the island’s history, flora and fauna. My favorites were the collection of butterflies and moths, the life sized sea creatures and the birds. Plan approximately 2 hours for the visit. Definitely a very interesting getaway, away from crowded beaches and loud streets and/or rainy day. Parking is at a nearby parking centre.

This was a great museum, many artifacts, including mummies, sea creatures, rocks, flora and fauna. About 25 audio tours in quite a few languages, 2 to 3hrs gives you plenty of time to take it all in, highly recommended

Nice mid-sized museum. Good information about the natural history and floors/fauna of this amazing archipelago but not very entertaining in its presentation. Very diverse in its areas.

Well run museum with particularly good archaeological exhibits. A useful app provides a commentary in Spanish, English or German which helps a lot as most of the displays are only in Spanish. A bit of a rabbit Warren but worth an hour visit, especially to view the mummies. And the entry is free.

Must see! We saw it in our first day and it really help me to know better the island and the volcano. Very interesting. Free entrance, free audioguide via app and wifi.

A lot of the exhibitions are made up of pictures, so don't expect a lot of stuffed animals. The collection on Canary artifacts, including bodies and body parts of indigenous people are stunning, quite literally.

A lovely, well maintained museum with both natural and archeological exhibits that is a very reasonable €5 for adults. All exhibits are in Spanish. There is a free online audio tour in English but it omits most of the museum and causes you to spent the tour with your phone speaker in your ear so you do not bother the other visitors. I visited in Feb and the cafeteria was closed as were portions of the museum. There is a lovely garden in the middle and the staff are very helpful. I bought a seashell jazz t-shirt, not sure what it had to do with the museum but it was cute.

(Translated by Google) Essential museum if you like archeology and Guanche history. Currently free. (Original) Museo imprescindible si te gusta la arqueología y la historia guanche. Actualmente gratuito.

Some really beautiful displays of the nature and beauty of the islands, the history and artifacts that have been found in and around not just tenerife but throughout the canary Islands. There is also information about the wildlife that inhabits the islands, and even mummified remains of the indigenous people of the canary Islands. Highly recommended to take your time to look through the exhibits as there is many interactive pieces also.

The museum of Nature and Archaeology is divided in many sections: there are the traditional 'natural history' sections, with rocks, minerals, animals and plants, and a section on the discovery of the Canary Islands and their Archaeology. Furthermore, there is a section on the geology, the volcanology, the microclimates and the ecosystems of the islands. This section has been set up recently and is fully interactive, with lots of screens, whereas many other sections are a little bit outdated in their museological setup. The most interesting thing is that each and every section focuses so much on the canary islands, and explains interesting phenomena like allopatric speciation, island gigantism, the biomes of the islands and the anthropic impact that the islands has felt for more than 2000 years. Highly recommended. Don't forget to take a look at the temporary exhibitions on ground floor (and -1) on the right just after the entrance.

Low entry charges, the volcanology display is interesting with several interactive features. The anthropology of the Canary Islands is tracked through the ages showing both human and animal evolution.

Very nice museum, when you visit Teneriffa you should visit that miseum too, very interesting, as it shows the beginnings of the canary islands and the complete history.

Nice culture objective.nice dioramas.good for kids and not only.mumies

(Translated by Google) I loved. I found it to be a very interesting place with wonderful facilities. It is really worth visiting. TIPS: - You have to go early. Enjoying it for real takes a few hours. -Visit the temporary exhibitions. Right now there is a call THIS IS NOT A ZOO which is amazing. (Original) Me encantó. Me pareció un lugar súper interesante con unas instalaciones maravillosas. Realmente vale la pena visitarlo. TIPS: - Hay que ir con tiempo. Disfrutarlo de verdad requiere de algunas horas. -Visitar las exposiciones temporales. Ahora mismo hay una llamada THIS IS NOT A ZOO que es una pasada.

One of the Museum of Teneriffe. The Museum is very informative and well organised. Alot of exsibits to see here. Amongst special things to mention are by far the Mummys wich a very well preserved to this day. The Museum offers also alot of life-sized sea animals (ancient and current sea life). In any case if u have a good hour or two to extra then you should deffenitly drop by this Museum.

Decent museum it’s suited towards older children. The white room was my favourite exhibit

Magnificent museum of the history of the Canary Islands. Very full of different facts and exhibits. Separately, a hall with mummified objects was parasitized. I definitely recommend a visit. Entrance 5 euros. For a group of 8 or more people 3.5 euros. The audio guide is available through the website in different languages ​​for free.

Museum of natural history and archeology. Natural history nicely but conventionally displayed. Most interesting feature in the archeology part was the collection of Guaza mummies (indigenous people). Would benefit from more info and better audio visuals

A fascinating trip through pre-history and archaeology, plus natural history of the Canary Islands. We found it quiet. The signage is in Spanish, so we used Google Translate, but you could ask for a guide in English. We forgot to do that.

Really interesting history of the Canaries not just Tenerife. And rather topical info on volcanoes and how islands formed. Mummies were amazing. All info in Spanish only but English info available on phone.

Another great place to go see along with a family. There alot of artifacts are being kept there that is well protected from being damaged and destroyed. I didn't like the real mummies bodies and body parts being displayed though. I felt it was rather wrong and should have stayed in it original resting place and not in a museum. Other that I was rather amused and fascinated.

(Translated by Google) Is very pretty (Original) Es muy bonito

(Translated by Google) For everything (Original) Por todoooo

A very pretty and well organised museum. The audio guide which you can download to your phone via their free WiFi ID very informative. With many languages available. It was very interesting to see the Guanche mummified bodies too

Great museum. But I almost missed the third floor, the best one (with mummies). Some other people could not find it too, there are no indicators that the exhibition continues there

Be aware that unless you speak and read Spanish fluently, you won’t be able to take in any information in this museum as no exhibitions are in English. Also the mummies are no longer there and have been moved. Overall a disappointing place.

(Translated by Google) Good experience although it could be more interactive for the kids (Original) Buena experiencia aunque podría ser más interactiva para los nenes

Interesting, free entrance, audioguide in several languages available. It was supposed to take.us.1.5 hours, but with no hurrying allow up to 3 to see everything!

Enjoyable, but none of the descriptions of the museum's items are in English (understandably). Worth a visit though. It was free (went on a Friday, might have been a one off).

(Translated by Google) Very complete museum on the history of nature and humanity. It has many interactive places although with the Covid they were disabled. A very nice building and the staff that attends it, very friendly. (Original) Museo muy completo sobre la historia de la naturaleza y la humanidad. Tiene bastantes lugares interactivos aunque con el Covid estaban deshabilitados. Un edificio muy bonito y el personal que lo atiende, muy amable.

For those of curious mind who would like to know more about the formation of this island, the people who’ve inhabited it and especially the flora and fauna, this museum is a great stop. I especially appreciated the discount offered to teachers and the narrated tour available on the website that we used. I would suggest that perhaps the museum rethink The lights being able to shut off unexpectedly while in the room with the mummies. I can imagine that this could possibly traumatize a young visitor and I know that’s not your objective. Thank you for a great experience and additional insights into your beautiful island. We learned a lot.

Very interesting museum. It is worth visiting to understand the island formation and its population. All the exhibitions were in Spanish only. I am not sure if I would enjoy as much as I did if I couldn't understand the language. The caffe is located on the courtyard and it is beautiful.

Really interesting tours about the botanical and geological and cultural history of the island. All the displays are in Spanish however an English audio guide is available for free which is very good.

Nice free museum to kill time. Many rooms are with pictures or plastic reproductions which are not of great interest to be honest. They offer a free audio option in all languages which is great. My favourite part was the mummies.

It is very interesting museum, especially with funeral and mummies exposition. I also enjoyed to see the different huge butterflies

Such an interesting museum. Very well set up and the exhibitions are 100%

If you don't understand Spanish no point going to this. Their audio guide is only fora very small part of the museum missing vital parts of historical information! Other parts of the world their audio guide will cover everything! Absolutely not ok to charge people full price and not give them the full or majority of the exhibitions.

A very pleasant experience. In the midst of an influx of tourists everywhere, this is just heaven. A lot of interesting exhibits, all organized in an interactive way. Our four-year-old son loved it!

Spent a good few hours in there, fair few floors. Only thing most of the exhibit information is in Spanish, could do with adding English translation. There are some exhibits that if you download the app, you are given information in English. But if you don't have a smart phone, then it's pointless app. There are some very interesting exhibits over the floors. There are seating areas on each floor, can be quite tiring. Toilets are clean. Unfortunately there was no cafe open that we could see.

Absolutely lovely. Just the right amount of information and presentation of artefacts. I would honestly suggest visiting this place first if you are into natural history or archaeology. The best overview of the Canary archipelago one could have. Nothing online rivals the content and overview here.

The museum is so well thought out and the exhibits presented in a visually interesting way. Although all the text is in Spanish, you can log onto the WiFi and get a tour in English which guides you around the museum. Spread over 3 floors, you'll find something to grab your imagination, be it the huge collection of butterflies and moths, the life sized sea creatures, or the mummified humans.

Beautiful architecture and a well organized collection of botanical, archeological, and scientific relevance. A must see to understand the roots and foundations of Tenerife from a historical perspective. The small chamber with well preserved momies pays respect by its discreet setting to the first inhabitants of the Canary Islands.

The museum's biggest attraction is the Guancs mummies, worth a visit. Otherwise, all exhibits are well organized and modern. The entrance fee is €5.

Very good museum with a vast range of information from the formation of the islands, through early settlers to the Spanish invasion right up to today.

Every time we go here we find a new tidbit of information about the Canary islands. There are lots of things to see and a good way to spend a hot summer afternoon before the sun loses a bit of power to get back in the outdoors. Kid friendly as well. Everything is in Spanish, as it's a local museum, so expect to use Google translate every once in a while when some words are not known by you.

Quite an amazing museum a 15 minute walk from the bus station. The artefacts and displays where better than many I have seen in much larger cities. Would highly recommend.

Great online guide and interesting journeys inside the museum, both the human history and the natural history one

(Translated by Google) Very complete, recommended (Original) Muy completo, recomendable

(Translated by Google) If you are interested in the Canarian aboriginal culture, it is the ideal place. Great museum. (Original) Si si interés es la cultura aborigen Canaria, es el sitio idóneo. Gran museo.

(Translated by Google) I find that it is not very educational, the explanations about the Guanches are very little didactic and entertaining (Original) Encuentro que no es muy educativo, las explicaciones sobre los guanches son muy poco didácticas y amenas

(Translated by Google) When I went to this site something very funny happened to me because I thought I was in an open-air museum.

Really interesting and informative. Staff were friendly and helpful and showed us how to download a phone app for an enhanced interactive experience. Lift to all floors makes it easily accessible for all

If u want to make some pictures and discover new things is ok. In 1h you see all, we payed 5 euros per adult. The place is very clean and everybody do their work.

As a non-Spanish speaker, the experience is very limited. All the texts are in Spanish only. There is a free English audio tour available using your own mobile phone but it covers only a fraction of the content. I think it was worth the 5€ entrance fee nevertheless. They have actual human mummies and also life-size replicas of aquatic animals.

Im living in Tenerife and visiting this museum teach me a lot about what is around me and its history, fascinating Is also talk about so.e region of the world

Awesome natural history museum with incredible exibitions of modern and fossil Canary biota. First and foremost it has collection of extinct Canaries megafauana, extipirated by early settlers and volcanic activity. Giant Canary lizard (Gallotia goliath) is a truly magnificent beast as well as giant canary rats and terreatrial turtles! Also awesome collection of insects with great interective display! I would say its a must while in Santa Cruz!

The subjects are interesting, the building is nice. The exhibits are very often photographs which are faded blue or transparent. That is really a pity. I don't really recommend a visit unless you are really interested.

Didn't go to a concert, just for eating and drinking. Excellent choice and quality of food at reasonable prices and good selection of drinks. Staff helpful and good level of English. Would certainly visit again and enjoy the view whilst feeding. Hopefully the weather will be better though!

Very nice museum divided in two main sections - biology and archeology in three floors. 40 minutes of great audio guidance is available via WiFi in Spanish, English, Italian and French to use with your own device such as smartphone or tablet. You can find there a huge collection of beautiful butterflies and other invertebrates. Items of daily and religious use from various ages and also mummies in smaller Egyptian section. Very nice audiovisual explanation of how Canary Islands have been created by volcanic processes. Entrance: 5 euros per adult.

(Translated by Google) I expected more. (Original) Esperaba más.

(Translated by Google) Very good small museum with well-maintained exhibitions. When you dig your ticket you can pay extra (1-2 euros) and visit the exhibition of mummies found in the ice ...
