One of my favourite places to visit as my Nan always brought me here as a child, but even now I’m older it’s still as good and enjoy bringing people here for a wander. Great for all ages it’s free to get in (although is an option to donate :) ) amazing choice and quality in the cafe definitely a must do in London!

It was really good. I got to see and learned about some animals that I never knew about. It's amazing to see the good job that have been done there. It is important to visit places like that, especially with kids, they will always love it. I got to see the human body and it way of functioning. The museum is really big, I didn't get to visit the whole place. I love it
