An amazing educational place. I had no idea how many types of birds that exists. Extremely informative and exploratory. Loved it.
My son loves animals and we visit at least every 2 months. He enjoys looking at the wide variety of preserved animals on display. There is also a room where you can go and pick up and explore some of the animals.
I visited recently. I was very impressed. The museum is relatively small, with two levels (there is a lift and stairs, so very accessible). The exhibits are creative, with interesting layouts. The information provided with the exhibits is informative without being dry. I think this museum is great for visitors of all ages: I saw both children and adults enjoying their visit. I would be interested to join any guided tour at the museum. I have also heard there are other events, such as art classes, which I would be interested in. As for parking, there is a carpark outside the department, but there is street parking nearby too. If you need further information, I found the staff were very helpful.
I took my grandchildren to see this. We all really enjoyed it, there were lots of taxidermy and skeletons. I feel that clearer signage, labels or description would have made this more interesting for us. I know it is a university but when open to the general public not everyone is as knowledgeable so I feel we walked past a lot of displays without the full benefit. This could be more of a learning opportunity for many people. Whether displays, an audio tour, or information boards, leaflets etc. My grandchildren were asking questions I did not know the answers to Google helps! However they would go back, it is good for a couple of hours filling in time.
Loved it!! It’s a brilliantly done exhibit. And best of all it’s free!! Well worth a few hours for adults and kids of all ages.
Very nice small Museum...
Travelled from Turriff. Stated OPEN on website. Had difficulty trying to park, paid £2.30 before proceeding on to the museum to find it was closed. Very poor signage. Wasted time and journey. DISAPPOINTED! Ps I was forced to give one star in order to post this review.
Many different exihibits and would highly recommend for kids with interest in the history or atanomy of animals!
Must visit museum, small and great representation, it's free entry, well maintained, can bring younger kids
