Reseñas

Large place with various different machines, takes time to see everything. It's really hot there. Little children's playgrounds are quite busy and need extra payment. It's good that only adults buy tickets, under 19s go for free. Vienna city card discount.
Un palacio espectacular y uno de los más grandes del mundo. Si eres fan de la Emperatriz Sisi, hay una exposición dentro muy completa e interesante. Toda la exposición de platería también es impresionante por la calidad y cantidad de objetos. Suele estar concurrido siempre como la atracción turística que es, por lo que mejor ir con reserva previa
My all-time favorite nature history museum! The building itself is a masterpiece, from the entrance to the rich decor of walls and ceilings of every room. The collection is rich and constructed in a very logical way - from minerals through the beginning of life on Earth to dinosaurs, humans, fish, birds, animals. It's also interactive here and there for kids to play. Been there a few times, will come again once in Vienna :)
This is a really cool museum! If you like minerals, hold on to your hat...there are rooms and rooms of minerals from all over the world. This was my favorite section. The dinosaurs and bronze age exhibits were very well done. The rest of the museum had cool stuff too, there were a couple of gnarly looking birds. A must stop if you are in town.

One of the most impressive collections of impressionist art I’ve ever seen. The collection ranged from Monets, Miro and schiele to a full room of Picasso’s. Was overwhelmed was amazing works overall! The photo collection from joel sternfeld was equally impressive with mesmerising shots
We spent a wonderful afternoon in this museum. The children were fascinated by the contents, especially, of course, the dinosaur part. A nice combination of classic setup and multimedia update. The price is realistic and justified by all the beauties that can be seen. You won't regret visiting this museum, but definitely take your time.
The building architecture alone is worth the entry price!

The variety of exhibit and the quality of many of the dioramas is absolutely stunning and best in class!

We got here early and had completed the upper floor in almost complete silence, will remember that experience for the rest of my life.
I spent 4hrs in the museum and still didn't see everything but I will say that I learnt that I'm really into rocks and they had a very extensive rock /mineral collection with lots of informative displays on different types of rock formations, origin etc. If you don't spend as much time as me looking at EVERY single rock and reading every description then you can probably cover the museum in 3-3.5 hours.
They also had quite a few interactive boards and displays which were fun to use, really informative and mostly child friendly. I especially enjoyed the meteor strike simulator!
They were not so many dinosaur fossils or models at this museum (as opposed to other Natural history museums) but the ones they did have were quite cool I think. I also really enjoyed the section on human evolution and the zoologist section (which was almost the entire second floor)

And when you're there don't forget to look up! In many of the display rooms there's art on the walls near the ceilings and/or intricately carved statues a detail which can easily be overlooked given how exciting the displays right in front of you are :)
This museum is completely rigid and has very strict policies, which they don’t advertise well. It's not family-friendly. We came slightly late and were not admitted. In all of our travels, we have never been to a kids museum that is strict about admissions. We couldn’t go later or get a refund. I would advise not buying tickets ahead of time so you don’t spend a lot of money for nothing.

There are 39 rooms across 2 floors, inside this beautiful architecture. Showing the evolution of the mother earth. Displaying over 100K+ exhibits from minerals, fossils to animal specimen. The museum is just 5-10 minutes walk from the Spanish Riding School.

Definitely worth the visit! I was amazed by how organized the Stone and Quartz area was set up and it is an extensive collection. Highly recommend to collectors who are interested to know the categories or formation of the quartz. This is my favourite part of the museum. The animal specimen on the upper level also reminds me the movie “Night at the museum”!
The natural history museum was pretty interesting overall. The dinosaurs were the best part along with the gemstones. The whole top floor is just deceased animals, so it was a tad bit morbid and lacked some descriptions of animals to expand the purpose. The museum was also very warm, as I believe they do not have air conditioning. Would recommend but be prepared to do without air conditioning on hotter days.
Really nice place to visit with children.
Few arenas with diffrent stories and themes, each of them for diffrent age range.

You have to wait for a session to start, every 1 hour or so,
recommend buying tickets in advance.

Nice coffees and restaurants near by so you have good options to spend that waiting time.
Espectacular palacio,al menos el exterior y patios que se pueden visitar. Una pena que la plaza delante de la fachada principal estuviera en obras y deslucida algo la vista. Como digo, espectacular fachada principal, otro también espectacular fachada y cúpula en la zona de la escuela de Equitación española y precioso y enorme patio interior desde donde se da acceso al museo se Sisi.
Es increíble el interés y el amor por México que muestran, tiene un piso completo dedicado a ese país y la exposición es muy bonita. Se que algún día devolverán el penacho, aunque es un gusto verlo y qué bueno que aquí también se pueda apreciar.
Fantástica experiencia para disfrutar con los niños desde los 0 a los 12 años durante el viaje a la ciudad.
