So much joy strolling around here. I felt like one among the little kids running around, being wowed and excited at the wonders of life. I took a few biology and geology courses in college so I knew bits of stuff here and there, but I have to echo other reviewers that the story telling on the evolution of life was top notch. I didn't know stones and rocks and bones could be so fascinating. The current arrangement of the geological museum has three floors. The first floor was about the evolutionary timeline of life on Earth, the second was on rock collection and history of the ocean, and the top was planet science. Lots of things to see, touch, think and be in awe. Although the bulk of the museum is quite general in knowledge, you'd be certain to find one or two things that blew your mind. I could really appreciate the efforts to make the space educative and fun while maintaining a very high quality collection. That's said, I liked the geological side a bit more than the zoological one, which I think has some scope of improvement further.

My son loved it. He was very impressed at how interactive and interesting it was. They had a tour guided by 2 young people with a very in-depth view & information regarding dinosaur. Would totally recommend for kids interested in history and/or dinosaurs. It has a little cafeteria on the lowest floor; perfect, if you do not want to buy coffee or snacks. They have tables where you can sit down and enjoy your food/coffee. However, it is a shared area with a library/drawing boards where kids can draw, read, and entertain whilst you enjoy your coffee. Forgot to mention that on this same floor, they have lockers. If you don't want to walk around with your jacket or bag/backpack Overall, it is a super family-friendly atmosphere . The souvenir shop was alright. My son and I are already planning a second visit since he wanted to explore the Cristals and rock's section for a little longer. P.S.: I tried to post pictures from our visits, but Google won't allow me to do so.

This place I would highly recommend! They have Dinosaurs 🦕 skeletons, and extremely well told origin story for human race. First floor start early time with Dinosaur. As you move up the floors you go forward in time towards today. On top there are even in my opinion some good guesses about the future. They have big representations of our solar system and their individual planets. After all this you can enter second building and experience Zologi. Many good representations of wildlife in different countries. Enormously many real size animals. We spent the whole day here. It felt like we found a hidden jewel. There was not much people, and there is little if nothing when it comes to marketing. Outside you have gardens of all types in a huge park. Examples as mountain garden, Viking garden, grandmother garden, fruit garden and many more. This is a nice place to hang out for a day or two with the whole family. Very children friendly. Cost about 10$

Small but beautiful and complete in many ways collecrion. A great place for kids..given the limited Dinosaur fossils, it might be worthwhile to add a movie/documentary video towards a greater educational purpose. The minerals & crystal section is quite interesting. Kongsberg collection waa very educational. Some if the stuffed animals & fishes have only Norwegian display details, would help to have in English also. The collection of species from other parts of the world need more space, looks crammed. Given the number of available species from each part of the world, greater space for display would be nice. Worth spending 1,5 hours here. Recommended

I went here with my kids with my friend's recommendation and it was really a good tip. That day there was a guided tour with museums employee on dinosaurs and it was really interesting and my kids really loved it. To see T-Rex, Triceratops and other dinosaur skeletons is something special. There are many interesting parts especially the one about the Space and the Earth. Their collections of minerals and other rare stones is also very impressive so I would definitely like to come back there again and to see climate part of the museum and some other things that I hace missed this time.

My 5 year old is really into animals and he enjoyed this museum well enough. Essentially there are lots of stuffed animals in well lit tableaux, mostly behind glass. There is written information about them in Norwegian and English. Some exhibits had sound effects. There weren't any quizzes or activities for children which I think is a missed opportunity. The toilets are basic. There is no cafe on site - take snacks! I'd recommend going at a quieter time than I did (Saturday) as the noise from excited children is pretty deafening at times ☺️
