This museum is a personal favorite of mine and has left an impression on me since my first visit as a small child. All ages and personalities will find something to rave about at the museum that was created to celebrate the rich variety of life on earth. It is home to one of the largest collections of insects, animals, fossils, rocks, minerals, and meteorites in the world. There are more than 67 million items in its collection in total, including the skeleton and reconstruction of the extinct dodo, the Blue Whale model, and the giant flesh-eating monster, Tyrannosaurus Rex, which was brought to life in the movie, "One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing." There are many hands-on activities to keep even the youngest kids amused.
Entrance is free, but charges are made for some temporary exhibitions. Five minutes around the corner, you will find a selection of family-friendly pubs for a meal, as the cafeteria inside is expensive.
