‘‘A place where we have been often when the kids were small and we had lots of fun. Revisited this weekend and it’s still a beautiful place even though it’s not all open because of refurbishment in the main area, but still lots of things to …’’

📍Attraction nearby the Museum:
Dulwich Park: Enjoy a stroll in this serene park.
Crystal Palace Park: Famous for its dinosaur sculptures and scenic views.
What we think: The museum has pretty unique exhibits but the most impressive things are the live animals ( frogs , fishes, butterflies ) and the butterfly house. Great spot for a chill Sunday date too.
