Nottingham Natural History Museum

Fantastic dog-friendly park with an industrial museum and an exquisite collection of dioramas and minerals in their Natural History Museum. The batman movie The Dark Knight Rises was filmed here. Prepare to walk at least 3km just to get around this park and its main building.

Today we visited and viewed the Titus (T rex) exhibition. My kids absolutely loved all the exhibitions within the hall. We didnt book but had visited purley so the kids could walk the grounds and visit the fair and see the deer's. Absolutely fantastic family day out and not overly priced.

Very expensive for what it is (£12 adult ticket for a smallish museum), a lot of the exhibits really need some refurbishing.

Visiting the building and seeing the artefacts will always be a historical experience, but the cost of entry was too high - about £10 per person (I understand that the upkeep and cost of the building needs to be maintained but I couldn't understand why it was so much).

This is a fantastic place to visit for All ages interesting ,fabulous buildings with a lot of historic features there's a range of things to see . Fabulous section on dinosaur s...nice eatery, gift shops snd play area for kids.. also Deers roam grounds so much to see and do

We ended up at the museum as when we arrived at the park as it started to rain. The overall experience was ok, however I don't feel the entry price justified the exhibition.
However if taxidermy is your thing you might quite enjoy it, esp George the gorilla.
Mark's top tip: watch out for thr dinosaurs!!

The museum is decent, the grounds are brilliant and the staff were very good. As a wheelchair user I appreciate the effort put into making an old building accessible however these lifts are unable to be used without a member of staff, not because of a design reason (the one on the outside is a standard wheelchair lift and the one inside is a regular lift) but presumably out of policy. The result is both a hassle and humiliating, don't get me wrong the staff were very helpful but that doesn't erase the humiliation of not being allowed to use a lift independently. I can't think of a reason why I should not have the option to be able to operate the lifts myself as usual and access the museum independently like any other visitor. I'd love to go back when the first floor reopens but I honestly don't think I can face it.

Visited here to see the T-Rex on display. Loved the park itself, great for going for a walk and seeing the gardens and watching the deer. There’s a large car park and play area for kids away from the house.
The house itself is unusual but in a good way. Quirky taxidermy and historical pieces on display as well as the museum itself relating to the T-Rex on show. We had a picnic and spent the afternoon here but there are the shops, eateries and toilets in the grounds away from the hall. Worth the visit.
