A lovely place to visit in the he heart of the historic buildings of University College London. My son and his two friends, aged 10, really enjoyed the freedom to open up the drawers and touch and hold different rocks and minerals. The curator is very patient and friendly and answered all their questions. There are other temporary, interactive exhibitions there too and you could combine your visit with the Grant zoology museum also at UCL. It was also great to be mingling with all the students in the relaxed courtyard areas. Thank you

I took my 7 year old son and we had a great visit. Really informative and friendly staff - let my son hold one of the beautiful minerals. Room full of history, fossils and minerals. Well worth a visit and free! Another gem from the wonderful UCL museums.
