The Museum of Natural History will take 10-15 minutes to get to by cab from downtown. The museum is somewhat small, but it is easy to walk around the exhibits. The museum is fun for all ages. You could see half the museum in one hour. I like that the exhibits are focusing on Nova Scotia. I thought it was... More

This museum is a nice museum regarding our own history. It is a medium size and accessible. I enjoyed the bee exhibit and the over 100 year old tortoise.

Last Sunday I visited the Museum of Natural History in Halifax. There was lots of children there and indeed this attraction is great if you would like to entertain kids for a few hours. They were running around obviously interested and excited by the hands-on exhibits. The round screen with all the planets and a narrated commentary on the attributes... More

We've been here several times and I'm always amazed at my son and his friends and how curious they are about everything there. They ask questions and they're really interested in what's what and why and where. Which as a parent you can appreciate and love their desire to learn and understand. It was a rainy day this visit and... More

I have visited this museum dozens of times and I think considering their probable budget they do extremely well

I had an enjoyable sunday in this museum. it may be a bit bigger with more species, but it was good. I liked babay snakes too much. But there should be much about puffins. Because nova scotia is hearth of puffins. And also it should be free for students.

Note that this museum has a free admission evening, although I would also pay to see it. The special exhibit we saw was quite interesting but the regular exhibits are very well done. There is a lot of variety - taxidermy animals, live marine life, great geology, and a 3-D globe of changing information surrounded by seats for when you... More

We took our son here on a recent visit to Halifax. We all enjoyed the experience. They currently have a desert exhibit along with interactive live animal shows. It's well worth the trip.
