Traveler reviews
Lê Ngọc Hà My
★★★★★3 months agoVery cool museum, especially for geology enthusiasts, some exhibits have QR codes on them for detailed information. Museum has 3 floors, variety of exhibits, worth visiting. Open on weekdays only, from 8 to 12 in the morning and 1 to 5 in the afternoon, free entrance.
Nguyễn Hà Hải
★★★★★2 months agoWonderful experience. Plenty of geological specimens, most of which domestic, though the collection included crystals and fossils from neighboring counties, some gifted. No tickets required, you'll be granted permission to visit all 3 floors (which, have their own attractions). A must-go for geology and mineralogy enthusiasts.
