It's free! Good place for kids. The butterfly house only has butterflies in the summer but it's good fun trying to spot them when they're there. Some of the information is a little dated and it relies a lot on victorian era taxidermy for the displays. Most of it is very informative though and easy for kids to understand. They have a working beehive with glass panels as well. It took some persuasion to drag my two away for lunch.

Yes this has been around for years but it's still a nice little trip for the kids,we pop in every school hols & the exhibitions have changed sometimes so it's not always the same. Theres lots of interesting things to look at and do,exploring & finding different butterflies in the garden is fun & it's free!!
Beautiful little museum. The butterfly house was our favourite. A great way to spend an hour on a rainy (or even sunny!) afternoon. Everybody there was very knowledgeable and helpful
Really wonderful to be able to see bees at work. The butterflies were fantastic
We visited this museum on a birthday visit to Southsea for the day. The museum has a good collection of natural history on display and the information boards were very us. The sections focusing on local wildlife areas have inspired us to plan to visit those locations. As with a lot of local museums some of the information boards etc. are getting a bit tatty and the odd bulb had gone in display cases but this is exactly why we should support and donate to such establishments so they can keep going. We will be returning when the Butterfly House opens in the Spring. A very interesting museum.
Great place to spend some time with or without children (but children will love it :)). Don't forget to visit the small garden as well.
Doesn't take long to walk round but So lucky to have this free on our doorstep. Handy that there is a lockable buggy park.
Really good place for children to learn. Sadly the bees and butterflies were not there when we visited. Staff were so lovely and helpful.
