Durban Natural Science Museum

4 Henry Cockeran - 5 months ago

What a nice and well maintained small museum. No entry fee. Our children enjoyed it, especially the T-Rex. Parking is on the street which had been really busy. Also take care with the car guards as they demand upfront fees etc. Would recommend parking at one of the parkades close by e.g. Royal or Avis

Most of the exhibits are exactly the same as when I was a kid, with a few changes here and there. It is somewhat well maintained. I am glad to report that they are keeping strict covid 19 protocol.

Strict Covid protocols and security is number one. Very neat tidy and spacious. However the top level had very disturbing pieces with no warning or age restrictions. It's called (The War Room). My 7 and 8 year old just ran in there and came out devastated and bothered. It's very emotional!!

In the heart of Durban I found the museum to lack excitement. Nothing exclusive that I know of was on display and the science floor was under construction. No coffee shop and please be vigilant when trying to find parking outside the beautiful building, because you will be bombarded by homeless people who want to charge you for the parking! We went in a big crowd - children between ages 5 and 18 and we visited all three floors in under an hour. What a disappointment!

The place to wonderful and has such a great feel to be in the place again.
It very small that's why it doesn't have the amount off visitors it should be getting.

The art galary was mediocre at best, the pieces were all sad and had depth but over not good at all.

Most of the art was photography.....

Small, but high quality exhibits. Worth a visit definitely

Who says learning can't be fun? This is definitely great edutainment for kids and adults alike. Entrance is free. I'd highly recommend this place as it also has a library and art gallery on site. I'm definitely going back for round 2 since I got there just before closing time.
