The museum is full of children during school holidays (some of whom were well behaved and polite) so if one wants to see the collections in a tranquil environment, go during term time (and avoid the galleries with school parties) Looking down the page, there's a question about bathrooms - I was NOT aware of any bathrooms but there are...

The kids loved this little gem in Tring. Some amazing artefacts and not packed with hordes of tourists.

Free parking on site but limited. Free entry. When you first enter the museum it is a shock to see the vast amount of stuffed animals but once you get over it its an interesting place. We all enjoyed it and spent a good 2-3 hours looking around. There are lifts and plenty of space for prams and wheelchairs but... More

This is brilliant we visit here often because it's free and because the children seem to just love it

We have visited the London NHM and I expected this to be a very scaled down version with very little to see. How very wrong I was! We were greeted by a very friendly lady and provided us with a map of the museum and no hard sell for guide books. The museum is packed with a huge variety of... More

Great - facinating view of (Stuffed) animals; some of which are extinct! Maybe the more sensitive might find it a bit disturbing but little kids will love it. Museum gives puzzle/trail booklets for kids to check animals/birds off. Allow a couple of hours

This place has free entry, free parking and excellent collection. What more you can ask? It is good for both adults and children alike. The building is divided into 6-7 galleries. Each one will have some stuffed animals, birds, insects, fishes etc. You can see lions, tigers, zebras, goats, bears, lots of birds, ancient fishes, crocs, mammoths etc. Definitely worth... More

If you are looking for somewhere to visit this museum has it all. Excellent staff and facilities. The children will really enjoy it. Everything is so well thought out. Activity sheets are provided and after you had had a fun and interesting time you can grab a drink etc or take a picnic to the park. We all enjoyed it.... More

Our two 18 month olds loved it! they were able to see lots of exibits face to face at their height and loved being in charge choosing what to look at. I have always wanted to go back since a childhood school visit 20+ years ago. Can see how it could get quite packed during holiday/weekend times. We went on... More

Fantastic 'sister' site to the NHM London! Rather than focusing on dinosaurs, ancestors etc this place focuses on the wildlife via taxidermy examples. This is a great way to capture what animals look like, even the extinct ones (such as the Dodo which I thought died out in the 1800's, but it was 1600's!). The whole family enjoyed ourselves and...
