Grant Museum of Zoology

Fantastic museum free to visit, it may be smaller than your average museum, but there's a lot of fascinating creepy exhbits and specimens to see, very well laid out. There are toilets, just have to ask staff for a card for access in the university building. Visited at the weekend didn't have to wait to get in, and wasn't crowded. There was enough space between people to look at all the small details of the museum.

Amazing, an absolutely fantastic museum attached to University College London. I have passed this museum on several occasions but it has always been closed when I have tried to visit. I specifically set out to visit it on a day I knew it was open and was not disappointed. For people interested in nature and science, or just the bizarre, this is definitely the place for you. It is well taken care of and there are lots of things to discover.

The Grant Museum is a hidden gem in London, displaying a fascinating collection of items on the study of zoology. We spent a couple hours there exploring the tightly packed cabinets. Saw some very unique specimens as well as variations of different creatures. Definitely worth a visit.

Amazing little museum that will delight children and adults alike. It has an impressive collection of preserved organs, skeletons and remains from living and extinct animals (most notably the dodo and the thylacine), insects, fish, and so on. The information provided is very interesting as it allows you to learn many curious facts about wildlife. I truly loved this museum and I recommend it without any doubt.

Very interesting one of a kind experience, loved the trip there.Some reviews say is it a small museum however it houses around 68 000 zoological specimens in there so there is so much to see and to study.Established by Robert Edmond Grant in 1828 and now is it one of the oldest natural history collections in the UK.There are museum tours that run three times a day, I got to the one running at 1pm and really enjoyed it! Learned a brief history of life on Earth and many facts I will be sharing with my friends nowReally recommend visiting this museum if you are interested in zoology, evolution and history of life

This is an incredible little museum. It feels like it has been tucked away, and is a beautiful historical collection. The fact that it is free to enter and does not require booking is an incredible bonus! We did not even need to wait to enter when we arrived on a Saturday!Incredible selection of preserved animals, well worth a visit!

We visited here on a whim after we saw the length of the queue for the British Museum. After going inside I realised it was a great decision and we found it so interesting. There is a vast collection of zoology exhibits displayed really well (don't forget to look up at the gallery for the skeletal observers). Our personal favourite thing was the jar of moles! The staff were helpful and knowledgeable and provided my daughter with an animal bingo sheet where she had to find a number of pictured animal feet in the exhibits. This really engaged her, and she looked closely at all the amazing things on display. We filled about an hour there, though had I been on my own I could've spent much longer there. Definitely worth a visit if you're interested in animal and medical history and biology.

It is a small and cute museum, densely packed with interesting exhibits. Grant Museum of Zoology reminded me of the science room a Victorian era university, which it actually is.The staff is friendly and helpful. There were kids drawing projects available when we visited in the summer 2022.It is close to the beautiful book shop and mini museum of Egyptology, as well as the British Museum. Nevertheless, this museum deserves an individual visit. You can easily spend an hour in it.

Amazing! Been wanting to pay a visit for a while now. Closed on Mondays which is the reason why I haven't stopped by in the past. I am only in the area for work so a delayed train meant that it was the perfect opportunity to visit. Incredible collection from worms to monkey specimens. Very well curated. It is a shame it was such a fleeting visit but I will return!
