Best for Families - Expert review of Musée des Sciences Naturelles
Stellar natural history museum that’ll appeal to the whole family.
This kid-orientated natural history museum is famous for its collection of Iguanodons skeletons discovered by coal miners at Bernissart (just west of Mons) in 1878. Other highlights include the Whale Hall, Shell Gallery, North Sea Discovery room and an insect gallery. There are several interactive sections including a new paleoLAB (open: sessions held Mon—Sun 1.30pm, 2.30pm and 3.30pm; admission an extra 2.50 euros), where kids can uncover fossils using tools.
Price advice:
Adult 7 euros; children aged 6—17 4.50 euros; under 6s free. Free entry is also granted with the Brussels Card — see Brussels insider tips.
