Romy
★★★★★a year agoSuch a tasteful, little museum. We had a great time here and everything was so well designed. There coukd have been more information about the animals on the boards, but it was very insightful either way. Also, the guides for the children's tours were very friendly and creative. A ticket for students was only €2 and totally worth it.
Chris G
★★★★★2 years agoRelatively small but rich collections. The detailed information is mainly displayed in the tablets with an easy to use UI but the amount is not enough comparing to the number of visitors. Quite surprised by the two head baby goat which really existed… a good place to hang out with young kids. The closest parking is the Champs next to the public park - quite difficult to find and the entrance is small. Be careful with Waze navigation.
