This museum is perfect for teaching children while having fun. Many interactive activities to enjoy. Free entrance. A large parking lot is very close, in a small park on the main road. Once here, after the visit, I suggest to spend some time at the nearby terrace, to enjoy a great view of the city. If you come by public transport, then it's worth to ride the funicular whose station is at the terrace. Children would love that. And also most of the grown ups.

A day well spent there.. i love it generally but love the "Masterpieces, artwork of natures" exhibit the most.. its a true art of nature and the fact that its combining nature and art is very smart and a creative move.. the museum can also be very crowded and noisy on weekends i guess.. visited on a saturday and its jammed packed with families with kids.. i can tell why kids love to be there, its a good way to explore and understands nature for them.
And also its FREE.. ????????????
Downside is as a tourist, cant pay any souvenir by card, as of Feb 2023, everything there is needed to be paid by cash.

One of the must place to visit if you are in Zurich its free. Worth to visit by any age group of people! Beautiful exhibition with so many animals and fossils some of them still looks like real and some are magnificent. It's so clean and staff is really kind and professional.
They have many exhibits like Masterpiece exhibits which is highlight.
All the specimen are displayed according to their geographic distributions and clear details.
They have activities for kids often.
Good place to introduce variety of animals, birds, reptiles etc to children's, without making them board.
I think they are closed on Monday, please check with them

Wonderful museum to bring school children for a learning experience about ancient and modern animals around the world.

Paleontological exhibits are quite varied, from fossils of aquatic life to those which ruled the skies. Descriptions are all in German unfortunately, so foreign tourists are disadvantaged. Taxidermy exhibits are well done, except for the poor lone giraffe whose fur is clearly too exposed and worn out in patches.

Interactive exhibits are available, especially the rotating microscopes and magnifying glasses to view insects and other small animals. However, these were not accompanied with audio guides to assist understanding.

This museum can be enhanced with puzzles or game activities for younger students to immerse themselves with a more exciting range of learning opportunities in an otherwise too academic environment.

Came to look at cute dead animals, but stayed for the absolute chaos that is taxidermy. Make your visit more exciting and search for the funniest animal replicas you can find! Meme potential 10/10
