Fairil YeoJanuary 14, 2016Be prepared to set aside almost a full day to go through this museum. Not the most fancy but the details definitely make it worth while. For details in English, you'd need the Audio guide to rent.

Simona CostantiniMarch 14, 2013Amazing collection (I loved the stones!), animated dinosaur, on Wednesday open till 21, free entrance for people under 19 (with document), lovely museum shop accessible from outside without a ticket.
Stephen DSeptember 19, 2017Huge selection of exhibits - highly recommend the audio guide, which explains approx 100 items in detail. Could easily spend a whole day here if interested in geology, zoology, etc.

DiegoAugust 23, 2014I love, love, love this museum. They have so many things to see! And is very well-located, you can reach it by walk. Their infraestructure is amazing.
Goatha06March 15When you visit Vienna, please arrange at least 3-4 hours to visit this amazing museum. This is an excellent museum that clearly explains the evaluation of our planet. Strongly recommended!!!🌎
Anna LockhartJuly 18, 2017I personally think there is nothing more to see here than an old dodo skeleton and Willendorf's Venus. But kids live it here with all the animals to see and moving dinosaur models to explore!
Julia KryvomazJanuary 3, 2018Huge building, holds exhibition of many species and very very interactive. Many things you can touch. Very interesting to look around for all animals, stones collection
ViennaInfoNovember 4, 2014A frightening terror bird can be seen here, which was actually a vegetarian. Other amazing information on the Natural History Museum and 150 years of the Ringstrasse can be found here: Read more
Danielle C.June 7, 2017So much cool stuff to see here. Even just the building itself could be its own museum. My only critique is that some of the signs and labels are only in German.
Andrew KJanuary 4, 2020Amazing wide exposition. You can easily spend 3 hours here and won’t get bored. If you visiting the museum as a couple take 1 audio guide with 2 headphones.

Xander HooseAugust 24, 2015Awesome museum, but there's just too much to see. Either make sure you have plenty of time or don't spend too much time in the first rooms. The bug collection is wonderful!
