Gorgeous place - Fantastic museum, some old areas and new. The building itself is beautiful. Great collection of dinosaur bones! If you are there for the Butterfly exhibit well worth it!

welcoming atmosphere - The museum boasts a welcoming atmosphere, with well-organized spaces and clear signage. The layout allows for a smooth flow through the exhibits, making it easy to navigate even during busy periods. The staff are knowledgeable and approachable, always ready to answer questions and enhance the experience.

The paradise of paleontologists - Museum with paid admission, but already the first room dedicated to dinosaurs alone is worth the price of the ticket. If you love dinosaurs here you will be amazed to see three T-Rex skeletons in the same environment. The collection of minerals and gems is also of the highest level. It is definitely a museum to see if you have children. Clean, elegant and comfortable, with well maintained bathrooms and drinking water dispensing points. Outside the museum there is a beautiful garden with many varieties of roses, where you can enjoy a nice coolness. Absolutely recommended.

The Natural History Museum Is Worth The Trip - We took our granddaughters, ages 12, 16, and 20 who were visiting from to visit from New Jersey. They have visited several of the museums in Philadelphia, but have never seen dinosaurs on the scale that the Natural History Museum has. They were truly impressed with all of the museums exhibits, but they were the most impressed with the dinosaurs!

Awesome day - My grandkids were visiting from out of state, they were so thrilled with the whole experience. This was a very educational, fun and exciting day for myself and grandkids. I would recommend museum to anyone. My grandkids already asked if they could return here next time they come to visit.

Disappointed - Empty parking lot but the they said it’s full. They made us go to the big parking lot to pay higher price due to the concert event. I was with a 5 years old and having to walk extremely far to get to the natural museum with how much we paid, it’s ridiculous and have my son sees all these people going to concert with dress revealing and smoking. We would never go back there until the science museum is done and we might give it another chance. Disappointed!!
