A	Andreas Papaevangelou on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Relaxing place with exceptional food and beverages. Nice for groups and families in a moden and cozy environment. Inner and outer spaces.
F	Frederic Lam on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Decent collection of animals, birds and sea creatures.. as well as precious and semi-precious stones in the basement, and plants life and environment conservation on the first floor. Could do with a little more English around their exhibits.
G	Gil Alowaifi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The meseum is closed for the summer holidays ☹️ However there is a very small part that is accessible via the restaurant
χ	χιονοθύελλα χιόνι on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Even though it is a beautiful small museum, I don't find it educational for anyone to see dozens of taxidermised wild animals. They claim that not one of them was killed for their sake, they were all animals that were "found dead" from other reasons, but I still find it macabre and not educational towards a way I find respectable to animals. Plus they hosted a commercial exhibition of exotic serpents etc that was from a pet shop, all the animals for sale. I don't want a museum to give such messages about animals to children.
E	Evanlina P on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is an excellent place to visit. You can visit the museum which is superb, sit at terrace outside to enjoy a cup of coffee, or you can organize a reception buffet party. The food is excellent and everything very well organized.
S	Siyi Zhang on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was a very interesting museum , suitable for family with children , except for exhibition, also has movie area showing 30 minutes movies related to nature , other than that has an area about the globule warming ,with experimental games , and videos . Very educational.only the parking near kifissia is always not easy , but there are many paid parking a nearby , or I recommend to go on Sunday when the shops are closed ,it would be easier relatively to find free parking .
J	John Ago on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was the second time visiting this place but it gets me impressed every time! The lady at the reception was very polite. She welcomed us and assisted us on which rooms we should visit first. The place has this nostalgic sense every museum should have and all areas were clean. The museum exhibits a variety of animals in a unique way making you believe that they live in their natural habitat. Lastly, there's an excellent cafe besides the museum where you can enjoy a beverage after the tour. A place to remember.
P	Panagiotis Zafeiropoulos on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Mammals, Insects, clams, shells + a whole floor of minerals , with good written descriptions all around in one place. Visit is good for younger kids too, just to have the 1st real world feeling with animals and natural world other than YouTube and documentaries . Every now and then museum organize some great events , with projections and other cool activities and offers a big rooms with tables so families can attend to. A small cafe is on the basement and you can enjoy a coffee or beverages. Covid measures were ON, and checking took place in the entrance. Also liquid disinfectants were strategically placed all around. What I would like to have in a future visit some VR guides or some QR-Code narration with information for exhibits but also ecological aspects , if they are threatened in their physical places and how this will affects our existence. I certainly recommend to visit the place. Small tip , on the smaller tags f.e at insects section , you can actually read when the exhibit was collected and from where... That was amazing.
