Loved the museum. Went with my mum and it took us over 4 hours to visit the whole place, and we still couldn't see it all. It is a great experience!

Butterfly exhibit closed for renovations but the Hall of Egypt was open. Superb dinosaur exhibit - spent most of our three hours between dinosaurs and Egypt!
