An amazing place to learn about zoology, and hosts specimens collected by Charles Darwin . The collection also includes a 70 foot finback whale skeleton !

Museum building renamed in April 2016 in honour of Sir David Attenborough. Great skeleton of finback whale . Collections of Sir Busick Harwood and Charles Darwin .

Lots of prehistoric mammal specimens . I think there's a stuffed Okapi (cousin of a Giraffe which most won't get to see cos they are so rare). Great place to bring the kids. Right in town .

Wrap up warm whilst waiting for the ticketed queue to subside on Twilight events !
