★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice museum for kids, not really for adults. The earthquake-simulator was cool and helpful, especially if you've never experienced a strong earthquake.
One (big) negative for me: the space for the mongal gerbils is way too small (in general, the exhibits were poorly made). They are active animals... I observed two trying to dig through the glass... Not enough space to dig, hide and run around. It was honestly sad and upsetting to watch. I hope they change this! I couldn't find the staff person anymore to talk about this. It also gives kids the impression that it's ok to keep animals like this.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I grew up in Heraklion and it has always been one of my favorite places in the city. Whenever I visit Heraklion I try going back at least once. The museum team is doing an amazing work and they keep evolving and adding new things despite all difficulties that I am sure they are finding.
My only hope is that they finish all of the exhibition spaces at some point to see the museum 100% complete.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ When I visited here it was still quiet as it is not the official tourist season. There is so much information about the animals in there, which was great to read (I like reading all the info ?). The earthquake simulator is a very good addition to the museum, if you have ever wondered what a real earthquake feels like.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The best museum for kids we ever visited here in greece, my kids loved to see all, the diorama animal, the real life animal, the dinosaurus. They have place to kids explore and play and listen the stories, also the have a little library with kids book stories not only in greek, but also in english, germany and france. And we can try earthquake simulation. Worth visited with 7,5€ adult ticket, and 4€ for a kids.
