The museum is worth watching. Lot of attraction for kids and even adults of all ages. Administration can be improved. The balochi Therium is placed at such a point where generally nobody wants to go. The entrance may be adjusted such that every body can experience that giant animal. Overall it was a good visit.

Great place to visit if you are interested in Natural History of Pakistan. There are stuffed animals, sculptures of animals, interacting dinosaurs, skeletons of animals, etc. Well maintained. Ticket is also extremely reasonable. Not recommended for old & disabled persons as the Museum is divided into various floors and only accessible through stairs.

Pakistan museum of natural history is house of real natural thing.must visit their with your family.but remember dont bring handicap person or child..there is no ramp facility available.. only stairs can be used for going upstairs and downstairs..its a negative point here. Thats why i rated 3 Star.

The museum is a great source of information for all ages of people. But it requires regular maintenance from the Government employees who are working there. Overall a great experience! All star ratings! :-)

Indeed an extraordinary experience and facility for learning about the natural sciences history of Pakistan. It is great source of children learning as well. Museum is relatively better managed than the time I visited earlier. However, outside surrounding areas, the landscape around balochitherium needs maintenance and improvements. Parking could also be improved. Pakistani tourists must learn to respect such places and follow instructions for staying away from models and unnecessarily touching items and animal fixtures.

Worth giving a visit. Best for primary and secondary school students. Also great for graduates. I dont remember such maintained and well thought museum in Pakistan of Natural history. Thought provoking. To me its nostalgic, me thinks. Most people visiting Islamabad miss such places. I expect students especially to see this museum whichever the field they are from.

For kids, its a lovely experience!V v informative, inspiring, insightful, educating...The Pakistan Museum of Natural History has four divisions namely Botanical Sciences, Earth Sciences, Zoological Sciences and Public Services.

The museum of natural history Pakistan has indeed surpassed its expectations. It was a nice experience.The museum has a decent amount of attractions to offer its visitors.It is divided in different sections.It is worth going. But I recommend that you visit on a weekday rather then weekend.The ticket is 30 rupees only for one person.

Review №44

Still undergoing renovation but the place is indeed filled with knowledge and history, from information related to stones and fossils everything is almost present. Various Science exhibitions are also held at this venue.But still the place seems a little gloomy for a national museum. Steps should be taken to allow more sunlight in the museum building so that the people have a real insight and feel of the wildlife and the history of man and his belongings.

It is a good nice place to visit... There are variety of stuffed animals... One thing lacking is no detailed description and history is attached with every animal or species displayed... Being a museum in the capital I think it should be richer, spacious and more informative... There is always a space for improvement...

Good place to visit with your childeren..... Very informative.... Some displays are really nice.... Especially the birds section ....but some sections are under repair..... And it needs to be properly maintained.... In some rooms there were no fans or ventilation it becomes unbearable to stay there........ And I think they have plenty of space avaiable to them which can be developed into something very nice.... Over all must visit place .....not a friendly place when it comes to persons with wheel chairs or disabilities as there is no lift, or ramps.... The only way to go to different levels is through stairs

Museum is very informative but upper floors are a little mismanaged. Most of the LCD screens are not functional. But overall a good place to visit. Parents must take their kids to this museum and give them a detailed tour. Highly recommended for students and science enthusiasts. Ticket is only PKR 30 and the museum remains open on Sundays.

Natural History Museum of Pakistan is good place of learning for the kids, adults and especially for the students of natural sciences. It has a differnet sections that showcase various types of birds, insects, marine & soil animals. It also has a section of rocks, stones and precious pearls etc. I observed that it hasnt been reorganized since long as I believe that new variety of different natural resources can be showcased there for greater human interest.

A brilliant museum that is based on science. Floors have been dedicated to fossils, bony remains of evolving man, dinosaurs, birds, fish, stones and even dinosaurs. Serene quiet place only for those having interest in these.Taxidermied animals, Blue whale skeletons and Dinosaurs real life models are worth seeing. Ideal for families and school going kids.People having issues with stairs should avoid as there are no lifts here

A beautiful place to take your children along... However, the management of the museum seems to be in shambles, because its a Govt owned org... Dirty corridors, defective display pieces, pethatic public toilets and stalled renovation work.... Needs serious attention of concerned high ups.... Because, it seems to be a good museum by its conception.
