    It's a tiny museum with only a few rooms. The place is swarmed with kids, and all signs are only in Polish. The dinosaurs are interesting to see and there are a few fun displays, but it's a place where you can really only spend 20 minutes tops if you're hoping to stay entertained. It would be very cute if it was for free but alas- adult tickets cost 10 zł each. Not really worth going unless you have small kids and are desperate for something to do.

    For foreigners coming here: there is virtually nothing in English on the display. Also, there are no lockers for the bags. If you know Polish, you will learn a lot about life on Earth millions of years ago. There are lots of interesting fossils, dinosaur bones but many of them are reconstructions. It's an old style museum with giant information boards, posters, there are many interesting stories to read about paleonthology. Nothing interactive, though. I enjoyed it anyway.

    A really nice small museum filled with interesting features and displays. For fans of nature and wildlife this is a nice spot to visit although nothing is in English so you will have to enjoy the exhibits by what they show without explanation.

    Interesting to visit. Lot of kids inside are impressed. We were on Saturday afternoon and there was no queue at the entrance. The exposition consists of both bones+ fossils and figures of dinosaurs. There are four halls: entrance, ichthyosaur, diplodocus, tyrannosaur. You will spend here around an hour. Also currently allow Ukrainian children enter for free.

    Excellent museum for anyone who has interest in nature, earth and past. If you really do look at everything and don't just quickly run trough it then you can easily spend 2 hours in the museum and it is totaly worth it.

    The exhibition was in Polish, so I couldn't read the texts. But I enjoyed the display regardless. The artefacts, statues and pictures were great.

    They have a student discout for tickets from 16pln to 8pln. Most of the exhibit is in polish only a few things are in english. 1 section of the museum is for aquatic life and 1 is for dinosaurs.

    So I've come across this museum by coincidence, Ticket prices are: Student - 8 zł Regular - 16 zł Family - 30 zł It was nearly empty, probably 2-3 visitors during the day time. No complaints at all, It's a really simple museum, nothing THAT fascinating, there are some original pieces shown in this museum of aquatic creatures that lived in the past. Information about dinosaurs and stuff. It wasn't that fancy but i overall enjoyed the experience, took me 40 minutes. Everything is in polish though, that's the whole downside of it.

    Interesting exhibition, but everything is in Polish, but the visual experience is still interesting. Also the whole museum is pretty small, but still worth a viewing

    No air conditioning, stuffy in summer. Captions in polish only. Relatively small, but also quite cheap. Someone interested in paleontology might spend over an hour here, but for the general public it's about 40 mins max. The exhibition is mostly fossils, some bones and bone replicas and info posters. A couple animals in jars.

    To be honest evolution of this museum stopped in 60's last century. Dusty glassboxes, missing bulbs, dirty walls, and everything very oldish. Only Polish descriptions. It is just not up to to date to current expectations. And this poor sad lady sitting in front of the entrance making awful first impression. All together looks like from best soviet times and I am ashamed that foreigners are watching it. Second star given only because my child was happy to see skeletons ;)

    This place is retro Soviet style. If you played bioshock or atomic heart. Go visit this place to feel like in a retro Soviet setting. The museum is ok if you have kids they'll get a kick. Nothing like the natural museum of NYC small and modest and retro

  • 2/5 Paul K. 7 months ago on Google
    Descriptions only in Polish and very small museum. Luckily not very expensive either. But just looking at the exhibits we were done in 10-15 minutes. Maybe more interesting for Polish speaking children since a lot of things can be touched, but not recommended for non-Polish adults.

  • 5/5 Uri W. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic museum, unique specimens, a great experience for paleontology fans!

  • 4/5 Metka K. 10 months ago on Google
    The museum is also interesting because it looks like you step back in communist time. How things are displayed it is probably how they were in 1965 :) But! It is quite interesting, especially if you like dinosaurs. If you buy Warsaw pass, the entrance is included.

  • 2/5 Michael W. 9 months ago on Google
    This place was a little disappointing. Firstly it's not in the main building. You have to walk around. which is fine, but hardly any signs telling you that. And if they were, I didn't see them. For a capitol city with tourists from all over. very little english signs. When you get there, it is quite small for what you pay. The dinosaur models are good. However, all the information is in polish. So, if you don't understand polish, there isn't much else, other than looking at the artefacts. I don't think it's worth the visit or money.

  • 3/5 Hana S. 9 months ago on Google
    Typical old fashion museum where you can only look at the objects. Nothing really to touch or try. I would recommend a revolution;). Nevertheless our son still liked it as he loves dinosaurus.

  • 1/5 Oksana D. 10 months ago on Google
    One star not to museum, but to the info on google maps that rates the place as having accessible entrance. The museum itself wrote on its website that it is not accessible for the wheelchairs. Even if one will get through the starts to the building entrance then these stairs will be right before the museum entrance.

  • 5/5 Grzegorz S. 2 years ago on Google
    10 zl adults, 5 zl kids and students. Ticket office is closed 30 min before closing of the museum. Enough exhibitions for around 1.5h of visiting.

  • 5/5 Marcin A. 1 year ago on Google
    Small, but very interesting Museum. Worth to see.

  • 2/5 Arek M. 1 year ago on Google
    Just good enough to come with kids, mind teenagers won't like it too much. Let's call it cameral. Several relatively recent expositions, while other quite outdated. For geo-freaks it's not enough, did for average person - not appealing. Kids will like dinosaurs, though.

  • 5/5 Alex B. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent museum in the heart of Warsaw. You definitely will find there evidence of evolution. Not very tiring to go with kids: exposition is not really big, tickets are cheap, they sell nice books and toys)

  • 3/5 Kristen H. 1 year ago on Google
    Not a bad exhibit, we were just a little underwhelmed. Had some great things showing the earth's landmass during each Era and what dinosaurs were around during that time. This exhibit does not have an English option to read about the items though.

  • 3/5 Allan M. 2 years ago on Google
    All information is in Polish only. If you know the language then it's an awesome place. If don't know Polish then only looking at the items isn't fun enough.

  • 5/5 Dominika Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent place to visit with children and explain the history of evolution. There are a couple of rooms there with very impressive dinosaurs and fossils. The display of dinosaur eggs is also quite interesting. One hour and a half is enough to see everything there. It's definitely worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Саша �. 4 years ago on Google
    Very interesting, especially for kids. It made us build conspiracy theory about lizard people. Must go place!

  • 4/5 Pico P. 2 years ago on Google
    This old fashion museum is located in the palace of culture, and it is no so big. Anyway also if it is not interactive, is really interesting. Good place for raining days that in Warsaw are really a lot 😂

  • 5/5 Luk D. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice but quite small. Worth visiting if you are nearby

  • 2/5 Gabi S. 4 years ago on Google
    Very small and outdated museum. Has only one small half floor of the building, basically two rooms with couple of posters and a dinosaur in one of them and that's it. Nothing in English, nothing at all. The regular price is 8.

  • 5/5 LilumGlorias 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice but small museum. Cost: 10 zl = 2 euros! We enjoyed it very much and had a lot of fun. Please be aware that museum is in Polish only, so be prepared to translate a lot of things!

  • 5/5 Polina S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice museum for children. Unfortunatelly there are no unformation in English.

  • 5/5 nanofon 4 years ago on Google
    Dinasaurs! Come and watch! Lovely place. Cash only.

  • 4/5 Michal M. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is interesting, some great exhibition pieces. Some of them, though, have seen better times. The kids were fascinated.

  • 4/5 Choy-Hsien L. 2 years ago on Google
    A very small collection of mainly the most known prehistoric animals presented in a very traditional way. Kids will still enjoy the collection and perhaps the small size is a benefit in that case. Cheap tickets and easy access makes it a recommended visit.
