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.

This was an amazing experience. I'd highly recommend it for families with children of all ages. It's easily accessible with friendly staff at all entries. Ramps and lifts are located in multiple areas which makes accessing the upper exhibition quite easy. Exhibitions 14-18 are beautiful. Its a massive space- 2.5hours wasn't enough to cover the entire museum. Downside: Bathrooms near Exhibition 4 and 5 are really stinking up the experience. We visited in summer and there's clearly no AC in the Dinosaur Exhibition.

The Museum is outstanding with so many categories of animals with Dinosaurs as the highlight of it. They are huge and so well preserved! And its just not only animals. There is so much history and science about Evolution too. One can easily spend a day here! We ran out of time later but one needs atleast 4-5 hours to get the whole experience. Must visit! Kids will love it.

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.

What a great place for all ages. So much to see, do and learn about. You could easily spend a good chunk of the day here. My husband and I were visiting the city and this place did not disappoint. I highly recommend it.

A huge museum where you could easily spend the whole day. Unfortunately, we were short on time, so we rushed through it with the kids. That might be why we were left with mixed feelings - there was so much to see, but we couldn’t take it all in properly. This museum is probably better suited for older children than ours. Our kids prefer more interactivity, action, and spectacle. But that’s just our specific case - the museum itself is really impressive! And a big plus is that there is a free parking there, not too big, but we've managed to find a place.
