don’t miss it! it’s one place to experience the breadth of wild species in real life size and feel them close. The prehistoric Netherlands is showcased with wonderful interactive concepts.
The show stopper though is T-Rex and prehistoric Mammoth life size skeletons. Also there is short T-Rex show, experiencing the life size T-rex model moving close towards you, out in deep forrest will leave you stunned.

Really reccomended! One of the best museums in the Netherlands, both for kids and adults, never tired to go back there. The employees are super enthusiastic and explain things in a very clear and passionate way. If you go by car, there is a payed parking lot, just add it to your budget for the day (7.50 euro) or go by public transport.
A museum suitable for kids and adults who have curiosity for nature and evolution. They have a complete skeleton of a T-Rex. You can see many different fossils from different animals of different eras. Very educational and fun. Their souvenir shop is also very interesting, with some fossils, meteorite, rare stones on sale. Defiantly had fun here.
It was nice, but seen how big the space it, I would have loved to see more interactive things for kids. When it is full, it gets a bit hard to enjoy.
But some things are creative and fun for kids.
So i would recommend it if you are around, but it was a bit disappointing for an hour and a half travel.

Amazing museum! The visit definitely takes up whole day, so come early. Great experience for all children with lots of interactive exhibits. You can even ask the scientists on site all of your questions! The museum's restaurant also has a great selection of food and beverages. Prices are reasonable.
This place is so much fun! Many hours of touring to do. I highly recommend paying the extra two euros for the rexperience! The only minus is, that the food courts were closed and there weren’t any visible opening times, so be ready to pack some snacks with you! I can imagine Naturalis being a good experience for children as well. We would have liked to learn more on the first/second floor about the animals. An audio guide would also be nice!
We just came out of the museum and I cannot recommend it enough! It was really a great experience.
The museum is located in a wonderful building which is modern and in line with the overall experience. There are a lot of interactive exhibitions which makes it great for both children and adults.
The area dedicated to dinosaurs is relatively small but the full skeletons are impressive. We also bought the extra T-rexperience and it was a nice addition to a pleasant day.
Definitely a recommended visit in Leiden!
