Extensive zoology collection for everyone who loves to see what animals and insects are made of. The guides were very friendly and visits to the museum are ticketed. Could spend about an hour here to view all the exhibits!

There were games on paper for children to fill in but he was very tolerant of our rather more excitable "Can you find the...." made up game.
