    It was one of the best museums I've ever visited in Turkey! I just can't wrap my head around what I've seen. If you don't visit it you will miss a lot!! It's also free

    Not bad for family trip. Of course if you are going with kids, you will have to explain a lot of stuff, since most of the exhibits are static. Great variety of ancient things and animals remains make this museum informative and exciting.

    There are many things to see. I went there via my school's tour. That's why I couldn't have look at everything. If you are interested in either mesozoic era or fossils or the animals in Turkey, you have to see them.

    The natural history museum is located inside the MTA (mining survey and search organisation) campus. There is good parking available once past the security gate. It is a decent museum with some very nice fossils and fossil replicas, as well as nice dioramas depicting the wildlife found in Turkey. There is a replica of a limestone cavern, as well as lots of beautiful rocks and crystals. A whole section is dedicated to ancient mining principles. It's a nice place for both kids and adults. However, all exhibit descriptions are in Turkish only, which will make it less edifying for non-Turkish speakers.

    Fun place to spend with your family. It’s not very big you can finish it with nearly an hour. It doesn’t have entry fees and they have car parking area

    Such a nice place. There is a lot of stuff to check out. It is free entry which is great and very close to the city. The only downside there are no english translations, would be great.

    It was a comfortable place to navigate through, easy parking lots, a bit outdated however it met the purpose of educating my daughter, there is a handicap access and a small cafeteria outside for any snack. This building is belonging to the gov, it is a free of charge.

    It is one of the best museums! We went to the museum in May, it was free. Dinosaurs are the best!

    The entry is free and and it’s an amazing place. If you don’t speak/ read Turkish then use google translate so you can translate the signs and information using the camera feature.
