I took my children there last Dec. The place was very dusty and had a mouldy smell. Ok I know it is Natural History Museum but still i think they do not give much attention to it. And parking is also a problem

Great museum, but lack of secure parking is a problem. Had to stop outside the premises and in front of the museum and when we returned, the police was at our car.

Small children might like it but if you've been in thje Natural History Museum in London it looked very small, tame and old-fashioned.

Otherwise the veune is fantastic,... More
