National Museum of Natural History

It's such an interesting place! If you want to visit the museum, you should allow more time- to read important information about the unique flora and fauna, to see everything from expositions, to take pictures and have fun.

The Tree of Life elevator architecture at the center of the Museum is the most amazing thing to see but aside from that The elevator goes to the fifth floor and you can visit a lot of exhibits about the Philippines geology, topology, biology and anything nature related. I live the marine life ocean exhibit especially the submarine.

Free entrance , no dress code , one ID for you and your companion to register at the entrance. Wheelchair can be borrowed for the elderly to enjoy all exhibit it's free just leave an ID and return after use.

This museum of natural history has an incredible architecture, and it's good to see that they're renovating the whole area. (It needed it)

Inside, you can find many nice exhibitions, some not so much, but it's already great considering the Philippines is still developing.

The galleries are well thought of, and I think it's only a question of time before the museum becomes a little bit more interactive.

I recommend visiting it if you're in Manila. However, be mindful when walking around the area as there are many pickpockets. Hopefully, this changes in the near future.

Visited the National Museum of Natural History in Manila and had a fantastic experience! The beautiful spire in the middle of the building is captivating, and the large alligator adds an exciting touch. The skeletons hanging overhead of giant extinct animals create a mesmerizing atmosphere. Don’t miss the cool meteorite room – a must-see!

The national museum of the Philippines is actually distributed across three buildings but the natural history museum is the most popular as it's got the tree of life which is an impressive elevator shaft in a large hall. It's got 5 levels with ramps for wheelchairs. One of the most popular exhibits is Lolong which was the largest crocodile in captivity in the world.

I went here on a Tuesday, as it was closed during Mondays like any other national museum in the Philippines. I love that it's free, no entrance fee and just a valid ID is required. There's not even a dress code so it's very inclusive. Mind you there are 5 floors filled of artifacts and pieces of history. So be ready for a lot of walking and standing. What's just annoying is when there are functions held in the museum. They will close off an entire section to the public. So it's a downer if you just have that day to go visit.

Interesting big museum about the Philippines' natural history. Good reception, lovely place, free entry, clean toilets on every floor, and air-conditioned. A lot of things and information you can learn. It's worth visiting for the whole family.

The National Museum in the Philippines is a cultural treasure trove, showcasing the country's rich history and artistry. Its impressive collection spans various periods, from pre-colonial artifacts to contemporary artworks. The museum's well-curated exhibits offer a comprehensive journey through Philippine heritage. The entrance is free for locals, making it accessible to a broad audience. The knowledgeable staff adds value to the visit, providing insights into the exhibits. Whether you're a history buff or an art enthusiast, the National Museum provides a compelling and educational experience.

The experience is great. I like how the exhibits are arranged (by ecosystem type). We did start at the top floor to avoid most people but the exhibit on naturalists at the second floor is a good place to start too. There are lots of explanations (in both English and Filipino) to make sense of the exhibits. The pull-out cabinets containing specimens are also a nice touch.

On top of it all, the entrance is free of charge. It is closed on Mondays so plan your trip accordingly.

First of all, the entrance is free, you just need to show a valid ID. Second, if you're carrying backpacks or other big bags, you need to deposit it at the entrance. Also no water bottles inside. Thrid, if you want to go to every room or section or floor of the museum, you'll need at least 3hrs to got tghrough all of it. Note that it has 5 floors of exhibition. And lastly, this is a Great place as You get to see some of our natural history. It is also a great place for having a sightseeing date. If you like learning, you will enjoy going here. If you come just to see, you'll still be able to enjoy your time here.

This place is pretty neat and very educational. It deserve to be promoted widely via Television and other means.

It would also be nice for lots and different schools to hold their educational tours there.

They also have updated technology and simulations to help everyone absorb and learn about the topics.

This is a good museum. One of three in proximity and the only one worth a journey. They have done a good job on the exhibits and commentary. Good layout. Emphasis on Philippines.

We visited the place for academic purposes. The museum has a beautiful interior and it showcase different taxidermy of species and gives awareness about the different biodiversity here in the Philippines. The museum is also free admission. If I have more time, I will visit the museum once again.

Worth every second of visit. No exaggeration. A lot of things to see, and know, and explore. No ticket to be paid. 🙌🏼 Present an ID for yourself and the group and your good to get in. Outside ambience might be a little bit unassertive but definitely is grand inside.

The National Museum of Natural History is rich in a gallery of biodiversity and geological artifacts of the Philippines. No fees when entering this premises and bag counter before you go inside. A must visit place for the kids, this will surely educate your children.

Arrived in the late afternoon, limiting our exploration to only a few floors. The interior boasts impressive structures and mementos, providing enjoyment for everyone during our visit. Planning to return for a more thorough visit in the future.

Spending my time here before back to Bali, it takes 35-44 minutes from the International Airport, so make sure to come when it's not a busy time

The museum is nice and super clean, and the security is so friendly even helping to keep my laptop during my visit

We went here as part of my son's field trip itinerary... it is part of 3 building National Museum - arts (rated it before), anthropolgy and this one being natural history...we were not able to see all of the items in display as there was a time constraint on field trip schedule...still we were satisfied with what we were able to see...5 floors of interesting items to see and be in awe of...

Foreign tourists can enter for free as long as they bring their passports Really beautiful! Guangnai is very big and there are many things to enjoy.

Very educational! The entire museum is Fully airconditioned. Free entrance! Kid friendly too! 5 minute walk from LRT 1 U.N. Avenue Station.
