I visited on a Thursday and found the guest count limited to those in the cafe. The venue, while small, boasts an animal collection sufficient to satisfy my interests. Thirty to sixty minutes should provide ample time to appreciate the exhibits.

So much more to see than I expected at the Cole musum and lots of information. But got lost driving g round campus. I now know car park 3 is the one to aim for.

Great place to spend some time with kids. Museum is located inside Reading University so you can do Mini picnic with family.

I have visited quite a few tiles with my family. It is free to enter and has lots of animal specimens on display. A great place for children to learn more about biology and support their school education. The elephant skeleton in the center is is my daughters favorite.

There are workbooks for kids to complete just on the right as you go in. Can be a bit tricky to find on the university campus and, if my experience was anything to go by, most of the students funny know...
