Absolutely incredible! Well kept and organised, a wide diversity of displays and exhibits. I recommend spending at least two hours in the museum to see all the museum has to offer. Perfect place to take children to learn about natural history as well as Bloemfontein and South African history.

I will definitely be back to go through the exhibits properly. I arrived late on Saturday and didn't get time to go through everything properly.

Take note of the correct opening time:
Mon - Fri: 09:00 - 16:30
Sat: 10:00 - 15:00
Sun: Closed

Quite impressed with the museum, you can see some of the displays have been around for donkeys years, a little dusty but still very interesting. Well worth the visit. The entrance was only R32 for five if us and it was a good two or three hours worth of entertainment. The building is clean and well maintained.

Very well maintained considering the rather cheap entrance fee. So much to see and the exhibits are very well done and maintained. I would recommend a visit when in the area.

The information in this museum is just out of this world. From politics, animals, planets, human history. It's a real national museum. Spent close to 2hours in there. Information galore. All cities shud have something like this. Love ???????? it.

Very nice, and friendly people. Just need a bit of maintenance. But still I will recommend the museum. And it is cheap. Just for the note, they don't have card facilities.

I’ve been to this museum probably 50 times. It’s still one of my favorite places to visit when I get to Bloemfontein. I wish they had more funding to expand, but its still one of the best places I go to. Everyone is friendly, everything is clean and really informative. Yes there’s updates needed but you can’t go wrong with a fantastic museum. Family friendly, my favorite area is the Solar System section. Take a chance on this museum it might just surprise you!
