Really like it. Quite interesting the exposition about glasses. Even if there are many visitors you can walk properly. I do recomme it.

Went up to Bern with the young toddler for a few hours to see the dinosaur exhibition in the Museum as the lad is obsessed with anything prehistoric. Got a tram from near the train station, was not too long of a trip, 4 stops and dropped off at the main History Museum. The Natural History Museum is around the corner and to the side. Was well chuffed to only pay 10 Swiss Francs, and of course the lad was free entry. Went straight to the dino section and naturally the young fella was immediately captivated. Some very big dinosaur exhibits on display, all moving and all scary looking. Very good effort and we were well impressed. We ventured around and saw the rest of the main collections of animals from different regions, the animal fossils, the minerals and rocks section, and a nice surprise to see the famous Barry, the original \St. Bernard\ dog so loved in Switzerland. Even though the place was absolutely packed with young kids, (which was a surprise for an October Thursday!) it was still relatively easy to see all the exhibits and get some good photos as everything is well laid out and there is plenty of room to get and see everything. In fact the dinosaur set up was so impressive we decided to have another look before we headed home. Loved the museum and will be back for sure. A lot to see, and the exhibits are very well presented. I think the Dinosaur exhibition is only temporary so I recommend to anyone to get there before it goes as its very impressive. 10/10
This is such a great place! It's not super expensive and kids are free. Really interesting exhibitions, we were lucky enough to see the Dinosaur one which was cool, moving dinosaurs. Tiny T-Rex arms still hilarious. The crystal&gem exhibition is really interesting, as are all the skeletons and taxidermy. The section on Barry the St.Bernard is great, have heard bits and pieces of the story so it was nice to see it all together. There's a replica of the Berner Munster which has a legend explaining who is who. Not all the signs have an English section.
One of the best nature museums we have been to (and there have been many) with fabulius rocks and minerals, skeletons, stuffed exotic animals, rooms of interest (Alpine dogs, lifesavers) and a set of contemporary art gallery-like science rooms. It was even too overwhelming for my 4-year-old :-) The best part was a globe in my sweet ESTONIAN!
Most of exhibitions don't have an English description. The most beautiful and interesting part is the crystals, gemstones and minerals exhibition in the underground of the building. I have spent most of the time there. The rest is not really worth of time.
Nice learning journey. Good for kids or a quick educational trip. Will be better if there's more English panels
Better than any TV show. Kids enjoy it very much.
A very informative museum to which you get free entry if you have a credit card from Raiffeisen. However, it was a pitty that almost every exhibition does only have information available in DE and FR and not in EN (the IZI app didn't work properly). Make sure to go before April 2020 to see the T-Rex exhibition and be aware that there will be many kids because of it!
