Yelp.com Review - by Dave S.

4.0 of 5 stars. This is a GREAT museum!!! Considered one of the top 10 natural history museums in the U.S.! A huge and under-appreciated asset in this state! I've been to great museums in D.C. and NYC, and this...

Yelp.com Review - by Daniel and Lydia G.

4.0 of 5 stars. We had a blast here! We went on a Wednesday afternoon and it wasn't crowded at all, which was nice. It was incredible that this museum is free for the public. I'm afraid to say we lost our last shreds...

4.0 of 5 stars. Wow, after going to the art museum and the history museum I really wasn't expecting this museum to be so large. Four huge floors of exhibit after exhibit and it was all free! We ended up spending...

3.0 of 5 stars. The Natural Science Museum is fine, I suppose. They have lots of cool dinosaur skeletons, and the whale of course - always a favorite. It just doesn't seem to come together at any point and make an...

Yelp.com Review - by Kate M.

5.0 of 5 stars. The whale bones are awesome! The acro-something-saurus is similarly awesome out in its round, glass-enclosed room with fake pterodactyls flying in circles above it. And it's free. Most of the rest...

5.0 of 5 stars. Hooray for free entertainment! I took an elementary school fieldtrip to this museum and I remember being amazed by the ceiling-mounted whale skeleton. I still stop and stare at it even though I've...

great staff, great exhibits, well run

I could not be more impressed with this museum. I attended the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit, and was quite impressed by both the number of staff members & how knowledgable they were! The exhibit was quite popular,...

Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit excludes Jewish perspective on scrolls, misleads public

The museum is a nice place, but one must question the ethical conduct of its directors in putting on a biased and misleading exhibit, in which the current state of research has been carefully distorted to...

Yelp.com Review - by Luke S.

5.0 of 5 stars. This is a fantastic museum. It's fairly large, diverse in scope and best of all, free. Some exhibits require admission (there was one about noises animals make that failed to impress me) but for the...

Yelp.com Review - by Jeff H.

5.0 of 5 stars. This museum is only a few years old, and it is really sleek and nice inside. The exhibits are presented very nicely, and while the kids will have fun, there is plenty to interest adults, too. The main...

Rent the Museum of Natural Sciences for your evening event or day meeting!

One very cool thing to do at the Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh is to "rent the museum" for a corporate party or day meeting. Our company had a day training seminar there following by an evening...

A fantastic museum with something for every age group. Fossils, live fish, reptiles, and a butterfly room, a running waterfall. This is a longtime family favorite. The fact that it is free is just...
