About this activity

Explore one of the world's most comprehensive natural science collections at London's iconic Natural History Museum, home to 70 million specimens spanning paleontology, zoology, botany, mineralogy, and entomology. This 3-hour curated experience is ideal for families and science enthusiasts seeking hands-on discovery of Earth's biodiversity and prehistoric life.

The Natural History Museum tour is a day of science and fun activities for all the family. Housing a staggering 70 million items, there are five main collections: Botany, Entomology, Mineralogy, Paleontology and Zoology. The Museum is renowned for its exhibition of dinosaur skeletons in a particularly large gallery of Dinosaurs, including a spectacular Diplodocus and Tyrannosaurus Rex. Visitors can find the answers to such questions as who lived when and where who were predators and prey and what happened to them. It's a great science activity for all ages.
