The dinosaur exhibit here is fantastic. It has the largest mounted dinosaur skeleton in the world (13 metres tall!) as well as other brilliant skeletons. The stuffed animal section was well done and the Wet Collections (a room filled with 20,000 odd jars of organisms in ethanol) was amazing. Well worth the trip if you have the time. More

A very good natural history museum. The Skeletons in the entrance are very well done with good interactive viewing devices. There is a fairly good signage in English. A lot of the exhibits are just rows of displays like the olden days but they are revamping most of they museum so hopefully.... More

We just returned from a wonderful visit in Berlin. While there, the weather was quite cold and even sleeting and raining pretty hard, so we chose to visit the Natural History Museum and our four year old loved it, as did everyone else in our group. There were huge dinosaurs, woolly mammoths, and so much more for the little ones... More

Don't miss this museum. It is fantastic. Dinosaurs abound and the collections are great. Go early to avoid queues and look out for the archeopteryx fossil - the sight of which made our day! More

Just returned from a visit to Museum fur Naturkunde (Natural History Museum). Very cheap at 6 Euros per adult. Easy to find and well worth the visit. If you are english speaking like me, some of the exhibits have english text. Plus, you can get an audio guide. It is home to the world's largest dinosaur skeleton and it greets... More

We stayed around the corner and when we found out about the dinosaurs and all of the exhibits decided to stop in. Definitely enjoyed spending the morning there looking at everything and seeing the Archaeopteryx fossil as well as "Lucy". They seem to have a lot of fun things for kids to do including viewing stations so you can get... More

The free audio tour added details to the variety of exhibits. The exhibit on dinosaurs was FIRST CLASS and appealing as you walked into the main area. My children liked the displays of animals downstairs which included hippos, cattle, cats, birds, bears and other mammals. Many of the taxidermy of animals was done 50 years ago and there are a...

The humongous Brachiosaurus offers you a warm welcome as you enter the museum. Nice collection of exhibits and great museum store. My daughter loves the place. The museum is in 5 minute walking distance from Berlin's new main train terminal. More
