Fabulous awe-inspiring with some lovely examples of species on display. Look out for the bee humming bird on the floor with the ostrich skeleton. The Fin whale cafe is quality too... A very important museum to p visit with your young family and keep the younger generation inspired.

Although the lower floor was closed, due to renovations, the museum is a treasure trove of all life on Earth, extinct or still with us. Well worth at least an hour or two. And free. Tricky to find the front door though!

A lot of cool things to see in this free museum. Kids 7 and 9 found it very interesting to walk around. Split over two floors and has a good sized gift shop. Well worth a visit when exploring the town centre.

The University Museum of Zoology in Cambridge is a fascinating place with an impressive collection of specimens that showcase the wonders of the natural world. It’s engaging for both adults and children, with plenty to spark curiosity and conversation. A weekday visit with kids is especially enjoyable, offering an educational and visually rich outing without the weekend crowds.

A very interesting museum. One of the best and I've seen a lot in my life. I really wish I could come back and visit it again.

Lots of fossils and wet specimens on show for free. Friendly volunteer staff on hand to explain more. Great rainy day activity and some unique exhibits.

A very nice two floor museum in the centre of Cambridge. The museum is free to visit. Inside you can find various collections of zoology material. Many curiosities such as a skeleton of the largest mammal existing in the world and material collected by Charles Darwin. The museum hosts a cafe. I like a lot their gift store with really cute toys for children.

Attended the museum as part of a network event. The museum looked great with lots of well presented species.
