This Museum is amazing. It's like going back in time and looking at how everything came to be. The first floor us practically a cruise through the different time periods. The second floor has great things as well. I saw things that I didn't even know existed. Everything is so beautiful. I would go again every time I get the chance to do so because it's so much, you'll need a few visits to just take it all in and enjoy it.

National Museum of Natural History is a place worth to visit. Being a first timer, I was awe-struck about how they have organized the place. The entry is free and there will be an initial security checking. The museum consists of stuffed and preserved animals, mummified Egyptian mummies, different kinds of metals, rocks and stones and also a section featuring precious gems from around the world. Also a piece of rock from Mars is displayed here and allow us to feel it. These are displayed along with small write-ups, videos and audios. The place has also got souvenir shops, food courts and restrooms to relax the museum goers. So guys, hop on your comfy shoes and explore this magnificent place! 🎟️ Free to General admission ♿✅ Wheelchair accessible entrance 🚻✅ Separate restroom 🍕✅Food court available inside 🎁✅ Gift and souvenir shops available inside 🅿️✅ Spacious parking area
