Wonderful museum of natural sciences.Love it, apart from the screaming kids.This pay-as-u-wish museum does try to explain serious science in simple terms. Don't miss the latest dino - The Titanosaur!

Feel like a kid again as you’re dwarfed by the T-Rex and the Blue Whale or just surrounded magically by butterflies. It’s entertaining and educational. Use the side entrance to cut the line.

This place has it all: dinosaurs, a planetarium, taxidermy creatures from land and sea, fantastic gift shops, and a café that serves adorable planet-shaped cookies. - Green Guide Editor
