Museum of Natural History

Who can resist a museum, especially natural history!

When we were in Halifax, we decided to take a wander and came across this attraction. I do love to learn, so I was in my element in here, so much to learn about native wildlife, habitats, cultural aspects of Nova Scotia and its history. :)

An absolute pleasure and worthwhile experience. Amazing exhibits that change over time. The museum is also home to snakes, frogs, turtles, and more.

The museum is just great! Very well maintained. I suggest a visit to everyone not just kids. It’s small but full of things to explore. I visited it during the 100th-year celebration of Gus the Tortoise. He’s soooo cute! I loved to see him. The staff of the museum is amazing, very friendly and they take really good care of Gus and everything else. The old buddy deserves all the love!

Wonderful place to visit! There are living animals in it, not only false ones!!! Loved the exhibitions and animations! OK, not comparable to the Natural History Museum of NYC, but the interactivity was there and staff is actually cool with their guests (me included!).

A place to remember! It is a small museum right in the downtown. We visited it many times in the past. Sadly say bye to the collection that being displayed for 50 plus years on thanking giving day of 2021, last day to see them. Look forward to seeing the new collection in 2023. This place does require a parking fee, $1.5 per hour but you may find the free parking nearby. The favorite part is to meet the turtle Gus and it will turn 100 years old in August, 2022. You can only see it around 3:30pm at the backyard of the museum when weather permits.
