    What a fun & interesting museum!! The organization is wonderful. They have lots of information for adults as well as interactive areas for children. Went with fellow adults and we enjoyed it. I also love that they have 3 paths to follow for 1 hour, 2 hours, or 3 hours depending on how much time you have. I wish all museums did this!

    So...this was one of the best experiences in Bruxelles for children! My little one had so much fun - and you can spend hours and hours here. True, it is a little bit difficult for the parents with the mask - we went there in July 2021 but for the children it is an immersive and beautiful experience that they will remember forever definitely. All the exhibits are wonderful, you can get close to them and everything is very nicely visible. Paleo lab - which you have to pay 3 euros more gives your child a gift of being an paleontologist for an hour. Quite recommended!

    The museum is amazing. First time of my life i go through all of the museum's stuff. It was really interesting. It has everything about the origin of life on the universe, real carbon dated skeletons, stuffed animals.... The place is suitable for adults and kids. But it really interesting for adults with science curiosity.

    It's really good. Worth it. Some things are a bit worn out, especially in the center area where the rocks are. I recommend using the toilets in the exhibits because those in the central area are not so clean. Lots of animals, lots of dinosaurs, lots of fossils, some really cool rocks, old fossils and good learning experience. I like that they charge much less to children, making it easier for families. The staff are great. The museum is huge and you'd need several visits to see it properly and read everything. If you can get an annual pass,it's cheap and you can come various times and really learn.

    We went here with out two sons, the older being 3 1/2 and they both really enjoyed themselves. The covid measures are excellent. Only 180 people are allowed to visit per day with allocated time slots. We went on a Wednesday afternoon at 14:30 and basically had the place to ourselves. Every level was practically empty so we coule take our time walking around looking at all the different exhibits. The video walk is fantastic with corresponding animals behind the screen for you to look at. The outside of the building leaves a lot to he desired for but dont be fooled, the inside of it is fantastic and there are disinfectant stationd on every level. I felt very safe together with our sons. I would highly recommend going here for an educational day out.

    (Translated by Google) A magnificent museum that will never leave you indifferent. The museum houses incredible collector's items. Passing through the dinosaur fossils to the more historical passage of the museum. A must see if you are staying in Brussels. (Original) Un musée magnifique qui ne vous laissera jamais indifférent. Le musée abrite des pièces de collection incroyable. En passant par les fossiles de dinosaures au passage plus historique du musée. À voir absolument si vous séjournez à Bruxelles.

    I will summarize my experience as Okay. Some things are nice, others not so much. What I liked: the dinosaurs' exhibition, in particular Trix(a very well preserved female T-Rex, specimen, in display until 07.08.22); the interactive features throughout the museums, although they are focused more towards children. What I didn't: the way they present the information about their specimens(it was confusing at first how to access it, but you do it by using the touch displays); the quality(or lack of... ) of some of the stuffed animals they display - you just can't have animals not looking like the real ones in a museum like this one; the fact that they have mixed in groups animals from completely different climate zones (something that night be ok for kids, but it was off for me); the general feel that this is more of a museum for people with kids rather than curious adults. If you have the chance visit the ones in Berlin(great for dinosaur lovers, good stuffed animals collection) and Vienna(amazing experience all round), they are classes above 🙃.

    This museum was amazing! Perfect for basically anyone and we ended up spending around six hours here. That was even with skipping through some areas. The museum is really well laid out with different routes depending on how long you would like your visit to be. All exhibits were super interesting and I loved how interactive everything was- perfect for kids!

    This is a lovely place with lots of history. Kids will love the dinosaurs. We spent around 3 hours and we still didn't see everything. It could be done quicker but I suggest to allow enough time to sock in the history as there are a lots to see and learn. Easly accessible with public transport.

    100% must go if you are in Brussels!!! Our three kids were especially blown away by the dinosaur exhibits! For planning purposes, give yourself no less than 2 hours in this amazing museum...any less time you are doing yourself a disservice. Lockers are available onsite for free to store bags, coats, etc. so do worry about what do do with your things if weather is in play or you have follow-on plans. Staff is over the top amazing!

    An excellent museum for all ages! They have a great exhibition of dinosaurs, if you plan to visit the place I recommend you set aside at least half of your day, although they have several options depending on the time you have, it is worth seeing the whole place. 100% recommended.

    The Museum of Natural Sciences in Brussels is an absolute treasure trove of knowledge and wonder. From the moment you step inside, you're transported into a world of fascinating exhibits that cater to all ages. The dinosaur gallery is a highlight, showcasing awe-inspiring skeletons that captivate both kids and adults alike. The interactive displays and hands-on activities make learning about the Earth's history engaging and fun. The diversity of exhibits, from minerals to taxidermy, provides a comprehensive exploration of the natural world. The museum's commitment to education is evident, with well-curated information accompanying each display. The staff's enthusiasm and expertise further enhance the experience. The architecture of the museum is impressive, creating an atmosphere of discovery. The temporary exhibitions ensure there's always something new to explore during each visit. With a perfect blend of entertainment and education, the Museum of Natural Sciences deserves a resounding five stars. It's a must-visit for anyone with a curiosity about our planet's rich history and the wonders of the natural world.

    Das Museum liegt etwas außerhalb der Stadt und wir haben den Besuch genutzt, um vorher bei einem Spatziergang durch den Leopoldpark zu gehen, was sehr angenehm im Sommer war. Ein Besuch im Museum ist für Groß und Klein interessant und wir haben hier einen halben Tag verbracht. Definitiv zu empfehlen, wenn man einige Tage in Brüssel verbringt. Sehr positiv ist, dass die Ausstellungen auf relativ kleinem Raum sehr viel zeigen. Besonders toll fanden wir, dass es überall ausreichend Möglichkeit bietet zum Hinsetzen und Ausruhen. Das findet man in Museen dieser Art heutzutage eher selten.

    Great museum, so much to see, it would take a full day to do it thoroughly. I really appreciated that everything had an English option to read/listen to. Loads of interactive activities that are really informative. It's super kid friendly if you have them, the kids I saw seemed to be having a blast. Thoroughly enjoyed an afternoon here!

    One of the best natural history museums I've been to, and I go to a lot. Most information is provided in 4 languages. It's very interactive with games and activities, as well as touchscreens with information about the exhibits themselves. I particularly liked the information about ethical collecting, and how the museum itself has not always gone about things 100% ethically but now strives to do so and to educate others on the topic. My favourite part was the temporary "Giants" exhibition, which had life size sculptures of some extinct megafauna incorporating their fossilized remains. It had lots of info about each of the featured animals. The museum was pretty empty when I went other than some school groups, and I would definitely recommend going at quieter times if possible so that you can do the activities and games without waiting.

  • 5/5 Richard Tello 1. 3 months ago on Google • 28 reviews New
    First time I went into a museum during my stay. I was not disappointed! Are usually I’m not museums because of how they put the information on display, and make it look boring. But this museum made it so fun to learn and so interactive that I was drawn into everything that I see! The museum is divided into many sections. From biology to minerals and dinosaurs. so you won’t risk to be bored if one thing doesn’t interest you: there’s something for every curious bean! If this is your first time in Belgium and you are into museums, then this one should definitely be your first. - Richard D. Tello, The wolf of Beirut.

    I underestimated the place and thought I could finish the visit in 2 hours. But there's so much to see, I'll spend a whole day some time later. A really insightful exhibition. Loved spending time here.

    (Translated by Google) Fantastic museum to do with children. Nicely decorated, lots of information, great approach! Of course the dinosaurs are a magnet for young children, but the first part with the many animals was also a success. We will definitely come back! (Original) Fantastisch museum om met kinderen te doen. Leuk ingericht, veel info, tof aangepakt! Natuurlijk zijn de dino's een magneet voor jonge kinderen maar ook het eerste deel met de vele dieren was een succes. Wij komen zeker nog eens terug!

    (Translated by Google) My favorite museum! I was there often in childhood and still enjoy it today. There is a lot to learn and see there. There are several sections: dinosaurs, animals, animal evolution, the future of the planet, human evolution with models, planets and astronomy. Children like it a lot. (Original) Mon musée préféré! J’y ai été souvent dans l’enfance et encore aujourd’hui avec plaisir. Il y a beaucoup de choses à y apprendre et voir. Il y a plusieurs sections: les dinosaures, les animaux, l’évolution des animaux, l’avenir de la planète, l’évolution des Hommes avec des maquettes, les planètes et l’astronomie. Ça plait beaucoup aux enfants.

    (Translated by Google) Magnificent museum. Very affordable for students. The large course is very pleasant to follow, much more than the small one which is "spoiled" by the presence of many noisy children. Having said that, it's good to find children in museums. The path is well signposted in this period of Covid, everything was clear. (Original) Magnifique musée. Très abordable pour des étudiants. Le grand parcours est très agréable à suivre, bien plus que le petit qui est "gâché" par la présence de nombreux enfants bruyants. Cela dit, c'est positif de retrouver des enfants dans les musées. Le chemin est bien indiqué en cette période de Covid, tout était clair.

    (Translated by Google) Museum that stays true to what it has been for decades. It remains a pleasure for the biggest and the smallest ones. The atmosphere is fun and really nice. However I do not recommend going during the school holidays because there are many people and therefore a lot of noise. Enjoy a Saturday or Sunday with family because dinosaurs, current animals, biodiversity are worth the trip. In addition prices are affordable, a cloakroom and a cafeteria are available. (Original) Musée qui reste fidèle à ce qu’il est depuis des décennies. Il reste un plaisir pour les plus grand et les plus petits. L’ambiance y est ludique et vraiment sympathique. Cependant je vous déconseille d’y aller pendant les vacances scolaires car il y a beaucoup de monde et de ce fait beaucoup de bruit. Profitez d’un samedi ou un dimanche en famille car dinosaures, animaux actuels, biodiversité en valent le déplacement. De plus les prix y sont abordables, un vestiaire et une cafétéria y sont à disposition.

    An amazing museum for all ages. You could easily spend 3 hours here if you viewed all the exhibits. More if you can read everything. The museum has a lot of interactive exhibits too, which makes it even more fun. If you only go to one museum while in Brussels, I highly recommend the natural sciences museum.

    Come here specially for the 🦕. It's very spectacular and popular! A very good place for everyone . At least two hours is recommended. Museum A is very informative, and most dinosaurs are distributed in Museum C . Personally, museum B is a bit boring.

    (Translated by Google) Great, better than our expectations, I was accompanied by 3 people and we had a wonderful afternoon, the museum is HUGE we did not expect it at all! Truly spectacular. We are staying at least 3 hours in it without being tired and the prices are very affordable, you start with the evolution room with taxidermy animals, then man and finally dinosaurs, this adventure was rich in emotions and I did it. advises anyone who has time in a day, it was raining so this was the opportunity for us, moreover the museum is very close to the Brussels Luxembourg station, and it's great (Original) Super , mieux que nos attentes, j’étais accompagné de 3 personne et nous avons passé une après midi magnifique, le musée est IMMENSE nous ne nous y a attendions pas du tout ! Vraiment spectaculaire. Nous somme rester au moins 3 h dedans sans être lassé et les prix sont très abordables, vous commencez par la salle de l’évolution avec des animaux taxidermie, puis l’homme et enfin des dinosaures, cette aventure fut riche en émotions et je la conseille à toute personne qui a du temps dans une journée, il pleuvait donc ce fut l’occasion pour nous , déplus le musée est très proche de la gare Bruxelles Luxembourg , et c’est génial

    One of our favorite expos with our small kids (4-3-1yo). We love it even more when the expos are adapted to the kids, the kids adored the Teddy and 🐻 expo, and the expo about the Tirex now is totally worth a visite. In non cocid time we can go to the explorer part and play with sand. Normally there are also Wednesday afternoon activities, but you have to be on time for the subscription of your Lil ones. If you plan to go more than once in a month it is more intresting to buy a year card. You can also have a foodbfeak in the restaurant !

    It was a very interesting museum. The dinosaur skeletons were especially amazing. The museum is huge, so it would take half a day to see it all. The cafe is small for the size of the museum, so it gets crowded.

    Ce musée des sciences naturelles est très bien organisé, il vous propose 3 itinéraires différents, biens balisés, avec des connexions tout à fait naturelles et fluides. La collection d’os de dinosaures est a couper le souffle! Chaque parcours est équipé d’écrans interactifs qui rend la visite ludique peu importe l’âge. Petite frayeur en passant devant la mygale bien vivante ! Malgré les deux vitres de sécurité, petit sursaut assuré :)

    Really impressed with this. Lots of dinosaur skeletons and clever exhibits (one where a dinosaur reacted based on where you were standing). Great animal sections too. Quite a lot in English. My young daughter really enjoyed it and it was easy to navigate by pram.

    It had been years since my last visit to the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences. Therefore, I decided to take another look. I am thrilled that I did because the museum is a place where I could easily spend an entire day without getting bored, and all for just €13. The museum offers a plethora of super interesting information that will keep you engaged for hours on end. The collection of fossils, artifacts, and visual representations is truly remarkable. I found myself wandering from one side of the museum to the other, eager to read and explore everything it had to offer. From dinosaurs to the gallery of humans, the gallery of evolution, the mineral hall, and so much more, every corner held something fascinating. For me, it was the perfect place to spend a rainy day, and I will definitely return because there is still so much more information to absorb. This is one of those museums that we, as Belgians, can take pride in ;) Availability: - restaurant - lockers - cloakroom - wheelchair friendly - giftshop - children friendly

    What an amazing museum!! So many artifacts in exhibition! All the part were amazing. The dinosaurs, the minerals, animals and fish, the evolutionary processes, the food chain processes and more! There are too many things to see in one day. Recommended 100%

  • 2/5 Audrius J. 3 years ago on Google
    My experience visiting Museum wasn't so geat At first when I arrived by car I had a huge struggle to park my car as there were no parkings close by museum. There was one Parking P2 which was for Personnel only :(. After 40 min I finally found a parking lot which was after 800 meters. After all the struggle I entered museum and got hit by heat wave as it was sommer and there were no Airco's turned on. Maybe it was because of Corona but still not very pleasant walking in the museum in 30 degrees. The museum itself was rather nice and interesting.

  • 5/5 Stefan S. 4 years ago on Google
    Really impressive museum for both children and grownups. There are so many activities in the entire building that you can easily spend a full day in there without being bored. The building itself takes a little time to get used as their mapping system is not very intuitive but that is another part of the adventure I guess. The dinosaurs fossils are really impressive and probably the number one area of interest for most people, but there is so much more to learn in the museum about the evolution of our planet. Don't go there if you have less than 2 hours in my opinion.

    Amazing museum. Tons of childhood memories there, and I still enjoy going. A dream for dinosaur fans, but also animal lovers. I like the architecture too. Except for the uncomfortably low popcorn ceiling in the beginning.

    The Museum of Natural Sciences of Belgium is a museum dedicated to natural history, located in Brussels, Belgium. The museum is a part of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences. Its most important pieces are 30 fossilised Iguanodon skeletons, which were discovered in 1878 in Bernissart, Belgium. The dinosaur hall of the museum is the world's largest museum hall completely dedicated to dinosaurs. Another famous piece is the Ishango bone, which was discovered in 1960 by Jean de Heinzelin de Braucourt in the Belgian Congo. The museum also houses a research department and a public exhibit department. The Museum of Natural Sciences was founded on 31 March 1846, as a descendant of the Musée de Bruxelles of 1802. It was based on the collection established by Prince Charles Alexander of Lorraine, dating from the 18th century. Belgian scientist and politician Bernard du Bus de Gisignies became the first director of the museum in 1846, and on this occasion, he donated 2474 birds from his own collection to the museum. In 1860, during the construction of new fortifications around Antwerp, several fossils were found, mainly of whales, and they were acquired by the museum. The museum also obtained the skeletons of a bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus) and a young blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus), which are still on display today. The same year, the skeleton of a mammoth was unearthed near Lier, and due to the prompt action of archaeologist François-Joseph Scohy, it was preserved and brought to the museum, where it has been exhibited since 1869. At that time, the only other skeleton of a mammoth on display was in the museum of Saint Petersburg in Russia. In 1878, the largest find of Iguanodon fossils to date occurred in a coal mine at Bernissart, in Hainaut, Belgium. At least 38 Iguanodon (Iguanodon bernissartensis) skeletons were uncovered, at a depth of 322 metres (1,056 feet), of which 30 were brought back to the museum and put on display. They were mounted by Louis Dollo and set the standard that was followed for over a century. Found alongside the Iguanodon skeletons were the remains of plants, fish, and other reptiles, including the crocodyliform Bernissartia. Between 1889 and 1891, the museum moved from its original home at the Palace of Charles of Lorraine into a former convent located on the heights of the park. The building quickly became too narrow and the director of the time, Edward Dupont, entrusted the architect Charles-Emile Janlet the construction of a new southern wing. Work began in 1898 and ended in October 1905. The new rooms were specially designed to accommodate the new collections. In 1950, several modern buildings were added to house new exhibition and storage rooms, as well as premises for the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, the research centre of which the museum is now part. Since 2007, the completely renovated and enlarged dinosaur hall (the Janlet wing) of 4580 m2 has been the largest dinosaur hall in the world.

    Nice collections of dinosaurs. My 5yo really liked it. Unfortunately I didn't see much regarding the Antarctica theme. However we primarily came for the dinosaurs and these were perfect for us.

    Nice experience especially with kids who love dinosaurs. I was shocked, however to see that the building is not that easily accessible for handicap or us, parents with strollers. The cafeteria is also underwhelming and overpriced.

    Engaging for all ages. From 3 yrs onwards, in my experience, children love it and perhaps even the younger ones are fascinated! Different routes to take, e.g. there is a 1 hour or 2 hour route. Book in advance online. We booked few days in advance for weekend and found a time slot that worked.

  • 1/5 Annette H. 3 years ago on Google
    The worst experience! I was not allowed to go inside with my son due to my allergy to disinfectant spray...no way to wash my hands inside no refund. 4 dudes that worked there (and almost no customers) looked in my little son’s eyes with such an indifference and said no. Yes I understand the mandatory part but what’s the harm of washing my hands in the bathroom instead or refunding me the money? No understanding and the worst: my child won’t be able to learn because of this. Culture is so important don’t take that away from children just because of some rules that can be bend in a safe matter.

  • 5/5 Traffic T. 3 years ago on Google
    It is definitely worthy of 7 euros! This museum has been the most friendly in Belgium so far. Almost everything on exhibition has translations of 4 languages, including English. I am especially fond of those simple but interesting interactive games they have designed to illustrate the basic findings of paleontology. Not only kids would be impressed but also middle-aged people like me. I can even imagine how excited my future children would feel when I take them here one day. This museum is quite huge that you are unable to finish your tour within 3 hrs. However, I feel ashamed of my vocabulary. Even though all have English translation, I still have difficulty in understanding professional words🤦‍♂️Such as carboniferous, trilobite, allosaurus... All in all, this is a place of wonder with helpful and nice staffs.

    (Translated by Google) Nice museum that is interestingly constructed and nicely displayed for young and old. It's just a shame that you have to choose between what you want to see and you don't get the time to view everything. You have to choose between route A and B or A and C. (Original) Mooi museum dat interessant opgebouwd is en leuk weergegeven voor jong en oud. Enkel jammer dat je moet kiezen tussen wat je wil zien en je niet de tijd krijgt om alles te bekijken.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice and contemporary museum for the lover of biology and other natural sciences. The evolution exhibition offers a beautiful picture of the origin and history of life over the past 3.5 billion years and the collection of dinosaur skeletons is simply impressive. It was a pity that the interactive setups (turning levers and pressing buttons) were switched off; given the many hand sanitizing gels, this seemed unnecessary risk prevention. (Original) Heel mooi en hedendaags museum voor de liefhebber van biologie en andere natuurwetenschappen. De tentoonstelling rond evolutie biedt een fraai beeld van het ontstaan en de geschiedenis van het leven van de voorbije 3.5 miljard jaar en de collectie dinosaurusskeletten is zonder meer indrukwekkend. Wel was het spijtig dat de interactieve opstellingen (aan hendeltjes draaien en op knopjes drukken) waren uitgeschakeld; gezien de vele handontsmettingsgels leek me dat overbodige risicopreventie.

    (Translated by Google) It was great to easily find space there. There were a lot of cancellations due to the good weather. It's big enough and fun for a family with kids. You don’t feel suffocated by the crowd, there is a lot of space to move around. They planned interactive activities and disinfectant gel. Only downside: several digital activities do not work (Original) C’etait génial d’y trouver facilement de la place. Il y avait beaucoup d’annulations a cause du beau temps. C’est assez grand et sympa pour une famille avec enfants. On ne se sent pas étouffer par la foule, il y a ps mal d’espace pour circuler. Ils ont prevu des activites interactives et du gel desinfectant. Seul bemol: plusieurs activites digitales ne fonctionnent pas

It should provide a path directly accessible for the 3 modules without having to go through the exit box for each. (Original) Génial, les enfants ont adorés. Très ludique. Cependant, le parcours doit être revu car nous étions nombreux à ne pas trouver le bon chemin.

    (Translated by Google) Very interesting for a wide range of ages. My three and five year old sons all love it in their own way. Beautiful permanent exhibitions about the animals with many stuffed specimens, and about dinosaurs of which the Iguanodons were found in Belgium. We have not seen the exhibition about humans now, it seemed more for slightly older children. You can easily experience hours of educational fun here (Original) Zeer interessant, voor grote range aan leeftijden. Mijn zoons van drie en vijf jaar vinden het ieder op hun manier fantastisch. Mooie vaste tentoonstellingen over de dieren met veel opgezette exemplaren, en over dinosaurussen waarvan de Iguanodons in België werden gevonden. De tentoonstelling over de mens hebben wij nu niet gezien, leek me meer voor iets grotere kinderen. Je kunt hier makkelijk uren leerrijk plezier beleven

    (Translated by Google) Impressive collection. You must have seen the Iguanodons anyway! Today's animal exhibition has just been renewed and is top notch. Paleolab activity for children was disappointing: unfriendly reception and only mediocre assignments for a paying activity. In summary, a great museum that you can visit several times. What would be in the Natural History Museum within 65 million years? (Original) Indrukwekkende collectie. De Iguanodons moet je sowieso gezien hebben! De expo over dieren van vandaag is pas vernieuwd en is top. Paleolab activiteit voor kinderen viel tegen: onvriendelijk onthaal en maar matige opdrachtjes voor een betalende activiteit.

    (Translated by Google) Probably my favorite museum in Brussels. A museum "old fashioned" but far from being outdated. The subjects are presented in a fun way and quite often highlighted. The permanent exhibitions are well made and the temporary exhibitions are always very interesting and educational. The only small flat in my opinion being the fact that we leave a visitor without a "guide or more specialized informant" to answer questions that come to us during the visits. (Original) Probablement mon musée préféré à Bruxelles. Un musée "a l'ancienne" mais loin d'être dépassé. Les sujets sont présentés de manière ludique et assez souvent bien mis en valeur. Les expos permanentes sont de belle facture et les expos temporaires toujours très intéressantes et didactiques. Le seul petit bémol selon moi étant le fait qu'on laisse un visiteur sans "guide ou informateur plus spécialisé" pour répondre à des questions qui nous viennent durant les visites.

    A good place to visit as a family. It has 3 different parts which you can find intersting. 1 - about human body and evolution. 2 - animals. 3 - relics and dinosaurus. However, you will spend a lot of time. If you will be very tired after 5 hours of walking and looking at stuff - it is a bad place for you but it is still interesting and you can always go back again to explore other parts of exhibition

    This was a really nice discovery! The museum is gigantic, with so many topics covered, completed with an interactive experience all along: great for kids and adults alike. It would have been perfect if the visit was guided with an audio portable media, giving the main timeline and the highlights and opening it up for the details and interactive experience to choose from: today it's hard to choose, there is so much and you do not know where to start. I even missed some key timeliness explanations by skipping randomly to get through it. This museum easily deserves 2-3 visits only for the permanent exhibitions. So a subscription would be a good investment :)

    Overall a good museum for it es and adults. 3-4hrs to visit the whole thing with toddlers. /!\ Don't bring your food as you will be asked to eat outside (yes even in below zero temperatures, with toddlers..) The room where people could enjoy their own food is closed ''because of corona'' but the restaurant is open (their food is Corona free apparently..) Prices are just ridiculous though; About 7€ for a mini quiche, a nearly filled panini or (very) small cup of pasta (see below)

    (Translated by Google) Impressive to see the skeletons. Can't believe how big those dinosaurs were.

However, it is in dire need of a restoration. The toilets in particular are outdated and not clean. (Original) Impressionant om de skeletten te zien. Niet te geloven hoe groot die dinosaurussen waren. Ze doen hun best om de dingen wat interactief aan te pakken maar persoonlijk vind ik het niet super geslaagd.

    (Translated by Google) Very informative and interactive museum! Sometimes very well cared for, other places not at all (dirty, dusty, broken, faded, empty...). Clear attention has been paid to some innovation and modernization here and there, there are screens that you can swipe on and there are projections/mini films here and there. So have some mixed feelings. The full route is indicated as 3.5 hours, but it took me longer and I skipped things (such as the crystals and minerals). Fun for the kids if you can ignore the unkempt bits. Friendly staff, good price (discount with teacher card), free cloakroom and lockers and there are toilets everywhere. (Original) Zeer informatief en interactief museum! Soms heel erg verzorgd, andere plekjes juist helemaal niet (vuil, stoffig, kapot, vervaagd, leeg...). Er is duidelijk aandacht besteed aan hier en daar wat vernieuwing en modernisering, er staan schermen waar je lustig op kunt swipen en er zijn projecties/mini films hier en daar. Heb dus wat mixed feelings. De volledige route staat aangeduid als 3,5u maar daar heb ik toch langer over gedaan en heb dingen overgeslagen (zoals de kristallen en mineralen). Leuk voor de kinderen als je de onverzorgde stukjes kunt negeren. Vriendelijk personeel, goeie prijs (korting met lerarenkaart), gratis vestiaire en kluisjes en er zijn overal toiletten.

    The Dinosaur Gallery is a hidden gem within the Natural and Science Museum that showcases an impressive collection of dinosaur fossils and exhibits. It offers visitors a chance to travel back in time and learn about the fascinating world of these prehistoric creatures. In the Dinosaur Gallery, you'll find a variety of dinosaur skeletons, including impressive specimens like the Iguanodon and the Plateosaurus. The exhibits provide information about the different species, their habitats, and the scientific discoveries that have shaped our understanding of dinosaurs. What makes this gallery special is the opportunity to see the actual fossils up close and appreciate their size and intricacy. The museum also incorporates interactive elements and multimedia presentations to engage visitors and enhance their learning experience. In addition to the dinosaur skeletons, the Natural and Science Museum also houses a range of other natural history exhibits, including displays on minerals, geology, and animal life. These exhibits offer a comprehensive exploration of the natural world, with a focus on the biodiversity and geological history of Belgium and beyond. While the Dinosaur Gallery may not be as widely known as other sections of the museum, it provides a captivating experience for dinosaur enthusiasts and those interested in paleontology. It's a chance to marvel at the ancient remains of these magnificent creatures and gain a deeper appreciation for the Earth's past.

The only part that wasn’t was when we completed the visit and sat by the “food market” and took a break from all the walking. My nephew has food allergies so we were giving him some food we knew was safe and we were told “no picnic” and a sign pointed to. I get it so we wrapped up and left and gave him food outside. But great exhibits and enjoyable for whole family.

    wonderful museum to spend the day. a few areas need renovation and better upkeep of bathrooms. the biggest issue we had was figuring out the useless map. otherwise there's a lot to see and read in English and 3 other languages. plenty of rocks and crystals that we didn't expect. dinosaurs, evolution and taxidermy. something for all ages. parking is limited but still many spots at 12pm Saturday

    This museum is absolutely colossal. There are 3 main parts that you'll pass as you navigate through the museum: the crystal & gems exhibit, the human history exhibit, and the dinosaur & fossil exhibit. In addition to these exhibits, all of which are quite in-depth, there was also a limited-time interactive exhibit called the "Luminopolis" during my visit there. This aforementioned exhibit was definitely the best interactive experience I have participated in a museum in Belgium: you basically go around a dark labyrinthine area, solving puzzles regarding physics, biology, anatomy and more! If you are visiting the museum as a group and happen to see the Luminopolis exhibition, definitely give it a shot! Regarding the other exhibits, due to the sheer size of them, I would recommend dedicating a full day to just discovering everything that this museum has to offer. Otherwise you will be way too tired by the time you reach the dinosaurs to appreciate any of it.

    Not all.museums are kids friendly this is an exception. This is the second time I go with my toddler and he had a great time (again). In general is very complete and well resourced with several interactive tools such as videos and some games...however at some point I fell in the big rooms all animals were just "there together" there was not a story or they weren't clasified by region or families.... So I think that's something that could improve. We did not try the restaurant. But services were clean and not crowded. We spent around 3 hours including the time at the end at the shop :)

    The world largest hall dedicated to Dinausaurs, this museum is very big and full of specimens: Skeletons, rocks, crystals, meteorites... Make sure to read about it before you go in order to mentally prepare for the different sections this museum has. Take your time in exploring the different sections, better dedicate between 3 & 4 hours there. I love their dark interactive experience as well, where you need to play games related to humans and animals progress and evolution in order to unlock your exit. Some sections are only offered in French & Dutch, probably created when Brussels was not the international city it is today (Rocks & Crystals section), I do recommend they correct that. At some parts, it lacks explanations of the artifacts displayed because you wouldn't know what you are looking at. I highly recommend this museum, enjoy, take your time checking out the dinosaur big hall, a beautiful perspective of how little & short lived humans are comparing to those giants that lived for millions of years, humbling experience.

    The museum was a good attraction. It was humongous, I didn't get to look around all the displays. There were loads of different themes for different parts of the museum, such as evolution or the start of life. There are also interactive parts that help people to learn more about what's inside the museum. I would definitely come here again.

    My 5, 2, and 1 yr old enjoyed their tour around the museum. They have prehistoric animals and modern animals. Lots of places for kids to learn and run around. There's even a dome theater to watch and learn about dinosaurs. Also free parking when you come early enough.

    After Paris and London, this is the third largest museum of natural history in Europe. I loved their collection of dinosaur fossils and learnt a few new things. I just wish the switches to learn some of these things would work. Nice place to spend a day with family or friends.

    Very nice exhibition. I thought there'd be just one or two rooms, but we also git to see an exhibition about human evolution and even participated in a game about light. Totally we spent 4 hours there. Definitely recommend for a visit if you're a dinosaur fan. Although I wish that near the skeletons there would be images with looks of dinosaurs, not just their bones.

    One of the best museums visited until now. Kids loved a lot and different things to explore for kids as well as adults. Best part was excavation things for kids. Highly Highly recommended and a must visit

    Highly recommend visiting this museum when visiting Brussels! Great installations, really well presented, family friendly, in a beautiful building. So much to see and well worth the price!

    Museum of Natural Sciences in Brussels displays a spectacular and breathtaking selection of complete prehistoric animals majestically located in Dinosaur Hall with crown jewels in a form of complete skeletons of Iguanodon found in Belgium. Other halls display natural life from all across the World and human evolution. You can spend days there and always find something new  to gaze upon. This was my first time visiting and I hope I'll be back soon.

    At the Museum of Natural Sciences in Brussels, visitors can explore a wide range of exhibits, but my personal favorite is the captivating display of dinosaurs and minerals. The dinosaur gallery features life-sized skeletons and detailed reconstructions, while the stone exhibit showcases the diverse beauty of minerals found in nature. While there is much more to see, these sections stand out as highlights, offering an immersive journey through Earth's ancient past.
