The Natural History Museum Rotterdam is certainly not the biggest, or most important museum in the city, but families will love this compact museum. Kids and adults alike can learn about the natural world here in a fun way. Both floors of the museum can be toured in under two hours. The audio tour guides you through exhibits and offers detailed explanations and humorous stories. Highlights include complete elephant and sperm whale skeletons, taxidermy animals including a polar bear and a tiger, a collection of mounted butterflies, Fossils of the Netherlands, and Nature in the Big City. The museum is located in Museum Park along with Musem Bojimans Van Beuningen and Kunsthal Art Museum.
