Natural History Museum of the University of Zurich

Our visit to the Natural History Museum of the University of Zurich was spontaneous and delightful, as we arrived just 35 minutes before closing. The timing turned out to be perfect as the museum was nearly empty, which allowed our child to explore freely without the usual crowd. This added a relaxed and personal feel to our experience, letting our little one run around and enjoy the exhibits without any hindrance. The museum itself feels smaller compared to other natural history museums I've visited; where an entire floor might be dedicated to a single theme like "the Arctic" in others, here it was condensed into a few displays over a short stretch. This compact setup, however, made our visit concise and kept it engaging without any unnecessary prolongation. We explored the first and the basement floors, missing out on the second floor, yet our visit was thoroughly enjoyable. It's a great venue for families, especially with the free entrance, making it accessible for everyone. Most importantly, our daughter had a blast, which is what mattered the most to us. Overall, if you're looking for a brief, enjoyable educational outing with the kids in Zurich, this museum offers a fun, quick dive into the natural world without overwhelming young visitors.

This museum is a good option to visit when the weather is bad and you have no other alternatives with the kids. there is no ticket required, entrance is free, however some donations are recommended from time to time to keep the place clean and maintain quality.

Small museum inside university. It’s a good place to spend 2 hrs or less. It’s informative for kids. It’s free can just walk in.

It's really interesting! Visited the natural science museum, and it was amazing. Free entry

Small university museum with free entrance. Great fun for kids and adults!

Zoological Museum of Zurich is an ultimate museum and very big. I visited the place on the weekend and there was no queue. You'll find numerous of animals, birds, dinosaurs, fishes and other wild animal sculptures inside the museum. There is no entry fee for the museum and you can definitely add it to your list when you visit Zurich. I've attached the most of the remains and sculpture pictures and I had an amazing experience. You are definitely going to love it if you have little interest in history and zoology. Highly recommended!!!

The Zoological Museum in Zurich is easily accessible by tram. Entrance to the museum is free. The Zoological Museum is very suitable for children as it has many areas where children can see what the many animals look like and it also has headphones to hear the different animal sounds. It also has a large area where many fossilized dinosaurs can be seen.

Very nice museum with lot of animals, skeletons and dinosaur fossils. It is not big but they managed to fill it out with amazing stuff. Entry is for free. There is a parking in front of the museum. You will find here lot of information about the nature. It is a two hour visit. Recommending getting here by taking Polybahn from Central tram stop.
