    Interesting exhibition, modern, popular with school kids. Only drawback not all artefacts labelled with English descriptions but Google translate did the job. Helpful staff

    Well curated and presented. Worth an hour for the casual visitor, or two for the student of natural history.

    Friendly staff, very good if visiting with children. My son loved the mineral display and trying out the earthquake machine. Worth visiting

    Park is nice for a quiet walk. Natural History Museum is nice, though fairly small - a pleasant way of spending an hour.

    Nice but small museum with plenty of variety. There was alot of rocks though, maybe a little too much.

    This visit can be short and sweet if you want it, or a journey into taxidermy mastery, this place can be walk in 20 mins or two hours. Not a place for young hands touching as some specimens are over 100 years old. Well curated and extremely clean. Staff was very kind and accommodating. Tickets are only 2€ but every first Wednesday each month you get in for free 😉

    :) :) :) :) :) Ok it is not Free :( but ... €2 for a family of upto 8 persons is a very nice price. When we went we had the entire Musuem to ourselves as we were the only visitors. It can be seen in about 1.5 hrs - we know as this was all the time we had before it would close for siesta at 1400 when we arrived. Your entry payment is only good for the time you are there and must repay if you arrive when it reopens after siesta if you were too. Amazing collection and displays. Well laid out and with simple explanations (Galician and Spanish only) with of course Latin names for all species, rocks etc on display. The kids loved it. Absolutely worth a look :)
