We had a great visit. A lot to see. Really nice displays. Great video with explanations in different languages. The iguadons especially are great to see. And the temperature in this part was great. The top floor with preserved animals was way too hot and so we left after 5min. If I have anything to complain about, it is the map + directions. The colors and letters would not be my choice for directions.

A very interesting and enriching museum in Brussels, especially for anyone interested in natural history, dinosaurs, fossils, animals, minerals, evolution, and biodiversity. The dinosaur gallery is definitely one of the highlights and is impressive for both adults and children. The exhibitions are rich, educational, and well presented, with a good balance between scientific information and visual displays. What I liked most is that the museum offers much more than just dinosaurs. There are many sections about nature, life on Earth, and different species, which makes the visit varied and enjoyable. The atmosphere is calm and family-friendly, but also intellectually stimulating if you really take your time to read and observe the details. Overall, it is one of the most worthwhile museums to visit in Brussels. It is educational, well organized, and enjoyable even if you are not a specialist in science. Definitely recommended for families, students, and anyone curious about the natural world

A simply stunning museum, so many things to see, well laid out, easy to get around with the free map. The dinosaurs are fantastic, the best display I've seen. The modern glass box with eight huge dinosaur skeletons was stunning. As was the remains of many dinosaurs found down a pit, displayed as they were found. The human exhibition was very informative, loved the models of the early humans. The array of stuffed animals and birds was amazing. The written descriptions were easy to understand and in three languages. A great visit for any ages, reasonably priced too.

An amazing museum! We visited on a Sunday afternoon and spent most of our time in the extensive dinosaur gallery. There was just so much to see in this part that we didn't have time to have a good look at the rest of the museum - just a quick walk through while heading to the exit at closing time. There's a lot there for both children and adults so give yourself plenty of time!

We spent 4.5 hours in this museum and it’s a really fun journey!!!! One of the largest Iguanodon collection that they found them all together in a mine!!!! The exhibition is very intuitive and easy to follow! Kids can learn so much about nature through the beautifully arranged path! One must do activity is the dinosaur study activity at the Lab. You can build up a full set of dinosaur skeleton there!!!!
