Royal Belgian institute of Natural Sciences

Amazing natural history museum! The dinosaur gallery is truly impressive and one of the best we have seen. The exhibitions are well organized, educational, and very interesting for both children and adults. There are many fascinating displays about animals, evolution, and nature. We really enjoyed our visit and would highly recommend it to families.

I loved this museum, it's not only for kids but surely also for adults! It was such an educational experience and there were so many sections to see, sadly I couldn't see every part because we arrived a bit late but I would love to go back to explore the rest. I definitely recommend this museum!

woah! the D path blew me away, of course it doesn’t have the dinosaurs or big crowd pleasers, but working in the sciences, it really made me happy seeing ecology being approached with such care and updated accuracy. (as accurate as you could get for a museum!) keep up the good work! Lovely!

Loved it absolutely, went there with my 6 years old and it was easy to get by the train station and walkable distance. They have made it fun and interactive for kids and adults both, with multiple screens in there, that you can read about the animals. Love their collection of birds and how beautifully done. Would revisit again.

We really enjoyed our visit to the Museum. There are so many things to see that it took us 3 hours to roam the whole place. Each section is interactive which is great for both kids and adults and so much space to walk around. There are also different translations to read and the exhibitions are well-decorated and tidy. Pros: • Wheelchair friendly • Toilettes are nearby • Lockers and wardrobe for coats • Reasonable ticket price Cons: • The food in canteen is overpriced • The layout of the museum can be confusing, so better get a map before entering the site.

We visited the museum on the first Wednesday of the month, which was free. The dinosaur exhibition was an amazing experience, I was just speechless... The museum is huge, you could spend a whole day here, of You want to see everything. The dino cafe was OK, bit nothing special. There are many interacting tasks and games, so I recommend it with children too.

Very nice museum with impressive full dinosaur skeletons, but unfortunately the accessibility is lacking. At my visit today I used one of their wheelchairs. One of the footrests was falling off, so I had to fold it up and just use one. The armrests also kept coming off and constantly rattled. There are a few exhibitions that you can't get to in a wheelchair due to steps/ a few stairs, and many things I couldn't see because I was too low down or I couldn't get close enough/roll under. If you are visiting the museum in your own wheelchair, beware of many lips with the ramps, one which I came at too fast which made me fall out my wheelchair. I could not use the ramps without help from my friend (this is for all ramps except 1 on the top floor). There was also a door on the top floor with a big bump infront of it, even with help from my friend I found this very hard to get through. She ended up helping me over the bump and I had to use my legs to open the door. Overall it's a very nice museum with many things to see, but if you're in a wheelchair you will definitely struggle, especially if you're by yourself. Edit to add: some of the doors and lifts are quite narrow so if you have a bigger chair/ powerchair you may struggle

Informative and entertaining exhibitions. Very family friendly. Many kids spent some really nice time here. It's not close to other attractions in Brussels, but I would recommend tourists with kids (2-10 years old) to visit.
