Natural History Museum

My kids who love nature (bug and animal) really enjoyed this place. We came to Lille because of this place;-) amazing. Cafeteria’s food quality was fantastic we didn’t need to find restaurant to go out of museum.

not much translated into English but so much to enjoy without explanation. The live insects were fascinating- watching cockroaches shed their skins and leaf cutter ants busying away

Really cute "tiny" museum that covers a little bit of everything. Our kids, aged 6 and 2, loved it. Absolutely worth a visit.
There is also a museum café and a gift shop.

Small museum but plenty of things to see. Stuffed local and exotic animals, as well as living animals in terrariums. Minerals, dinosaurs, a few fossils, skeletons. Unfortunately there is no souvenir shop nor is there an option to buy food or drinks. Toilets available, nice and clean. Very recommended for children. Overall very nice experience.

Nice place to visit, the vivariums with live insects, spiders and millipedes are great. You could see really nice specimens of mimetic insects, like Stick bug and Leaf bug, Madagascar bugs, Crickets and many more. There are also a few dioramas with stuffed mammals, a huge collection of European and worldwide species of birds and a few groups of skeletons arranged in the comparative animal style. Despite the fact it is a small museum, it really worths to pay a visit. The lovers of old style-classic natural history museums will be delighted. Enjoy the visit!

The museum is quite small but it is nice, specially for kids. They have an impressive collection of stuffed birds.

Fantastic menagerie of the weird and wonderful . Racks of many bird species all carefully labelled in old cases an especial delight. But try visit sans school parties , somewhat destroys atmosphere!

Great for curious kids :)

Very nice museum, nice for visiting with kids and adults

I like it so so much it has amazing atmosphere i advise everybody to visit there

Only €4 to go in, staff helpful and quite prepared to speak English. Lots of interesting exhibits but don’t go if stuffed birds, live spiders and other creepy crawlies aren’t your thing. They have printed guides in English, but the text displayed by the exhibits is only in French.

Lots of things to see. Staff were friendly and helpful. Very family friendly.

Great place especially for families with toddlers and school kids

Some might consider the museum a little dry, a relic from the past, but for only 4 euros its a great place to visit. My only criticism would be the lack of English translations, but you're in France so better get the dictionary out.

I go there once a month for the Wildlife painting workshop, highly recommended to anyone who wants to try painting for the first time!

Extremely cool. There are a lot of animals and insects.

Very compact but a great experience.....load of stuff, very well organised. Decent admission fees, free for under 12s. Strongly recommend 👍

Didn't expect to like it as much as I did. Five stars!

Amazing museum. Children love to discover natures here.

Great place to visit specially on Sunday
