Olga CarboJanuary 6, 2016Impressive collection of dinos, beautifully exposed. Explanations are quite old-fashioned and some interactive displays need maintenance, but overall worth the visit.- Carl GriffinJanuary 1, 2016The interactive displays make this museum a lot more than just a collection of stuffed animals.
- Nicholas HallMarch 30, 2016Great museum with extensive exhibits, lovely architecture especially in the dinosaur area, insects on 4th floor is very extensive although in need of updating
Johan CoppensJanuary 5, 2013Too little known Museum (with a big M!) which surprised me with its extensive and diverse collections. Has some remarkable things in store, worth the visit if you ever find yourself in Brussels.
Olga FMay 29, 2022Great place both for children and adults. They have 3 possible routs which will take you up to 3 hours.Must visit for dinosaurs fans.
Shadi J.December 26, 2017It is very nice place specially for kids to learn and see so many things about Natural Science and the particularly about animals and human!
Ricardo MichelDecember 11, 2016Dinosaurs! Museums in Europe are really nice, it could compete with NYC's one.
Erwin VanheckeMay 20, 2015The temporary exhibitions about humans evolution and the brain are worth the visit.
For this year's Kunstenfestivaldesarts (3>25 May), artist Jozef Wouters creates a 'Zoological Institute for Recently Extinct Species' as an extension to our Museum... Tix&info: http://bit.ly/16mZVqk
Johan VreysNovember 1, 2012Dino's, the history of the museum, tge biodivercity-wing, the antartic section with wales; fish, insects and big spiders, a lot to see!
Tereza PavlíkováNovember 10, 2013The muzeum is infested with children. Mind that you won't see the exhibitions in peace and quiet.
- Attention: today (Wednesday 03/04), there is an enormous crowd waiting to enter our Museum! The queuing lines are very long...
- Attention: the tickets for 'Baby Animals' for this afternoon (Thursday, 04 April) are almost sold out! Off course, there are still tickets available for the permanent halls.
Great and big museum. Dont miss the level -2 below rhe dinosaurs gallery!

Christel VerbouwFebruary 3, 2010@ Museum voor Natuurwetenschappen: Rainy day fun for kids (and their parents): Europe's largest dinosaur exhibition
Greg HJanuary 30, 2016Architecture magnifique, collection exceptionnelle. Circulation labyrinthique. Pedagogiquement lamentable. Un bon résumé de notre belgitude: un patrimoine fantastique mais incapable de l'exploiter...
Lola RavaldiAugust 3, 2016Musée magnifique ! Pour les couples qui veulent être au calme, préférer le vendredi après midi pour faire votre visite.
Sanne ThijsJanuary 5, 2023Zeer afgeleefd museum. Uiteraard is hun collectie opgezette dieren interessant. Maar overal is het vuil of zijn de interactieve spellen kapot. Voor jonge kinderen dus zeer vervelend.
Manu DeclerckMay 11, 2013Minpunten: gebrekkige kennis vh Nederlands bij sommige personeelsleden & tijdelijke expo 'animal babies' was een sof. Pluspunt: de overweldigende dinoskeletten natuurlijk!
P.O.Box: MOSCOWDecember 19, 2014Большой и интересный музей. Множество экспонатов. Познавательно и увлекательно.
LilicherryroseAugust 28, 2012Tem muitas brincadeiras para as crianças! Lanchamos lá e sentamos em uma mesa no meio de um monte de italianos! +++
Katrien DierckxApril 30, 2017Het museum heeft veel potentieel, maar is een beetje vergane glorie... het kan een update naar 2017 gebruiken.
FrenchConnectFebruary 25, 2012Passez un super moment avec vos enfants, les grands dino ou découvrez l'expo sur les 5 sens (jusqu'en septembre 2012)
Lucien HerbietMarch 17, 2013Tout, sans presque aucune exception est en panne ! Expo pour les enfants 'complète' après avoir tourné 1h pour trouver une place de parking. Budget mal dépensé.
Gaétane VerwilghenApril 21, 2013Expo baby animaux très décevante. Adaptée aux tout-petits enfants mais pour les plus de 4ans,pas géniale. Mini-expo,pas bcp d'apprentissage.on est déçus.
Grégory VerachtertSeptember 28, 2011N'est plus ce qu'il était dans mes souvenirs ... Un petit coup de frais s'impose !
Chamallow😄October 19, 2014C'est plus ce que c'était! Trop enfantin et beaucoup de salles fermées!! Déçue!
