    Only come here if you're in the area and decide to walk here. I wouldn't go out of my way or take…read morean uber to come here. Came in October and most of the animals weren't even out or maybe their exhibits were hidden away or blocked off. There was a lot of construction when we were there. Even though we couldn't get the 100% experience, it seems pricing seems to stay the same year round. Extremely disappointed that it seemed that more exhibits were shut down or 'in progress' than were actually operational.

    I came here with B to visit this zoo. The zoo is located in the center of Paris. The zoo is not…read morebig. I would say you need about an hour to two hours to see everything inside. There are some pretty interesting animals, bird and reptiles. There are a few sections of the zoo under renovation. B and I did end up spending about 2 hours here. Yes they do have some rare animals / spices. Like the red panda, Arabian oryx, orangutans and etc. Note that the zoo closes at 6 PM and last admission is 5:15 pm. Yes just slightly before 5:15 pm, the ticket seller will close the till. B came here two days before our visit and we were told that tickets are not being sold because we were 5 mins late. This is actually a good thing I guess. Ménagerie is one of the oldest zoos in Paris and is also one of the oldest zoo in the world. It opened its door back in the 1700s. Admission is €13 per person. We have noticed that this zoo is not visited by a lot of foreigners. B and I came in September and it was very quiet.

    This is actually one of B's favorite museum other than the Louvre. It is crazy here. I would call…read morethis place a dumping ground for bones. Not just dino bones. There are whales and other animals. It is interesting what you get to see. The animals' remains/skeletons are fascinating here. I feel like at the beginning of time, It was a very well laid out museum but they got more and more items for display that they have no place to put it. They end up putting a lot of things in the center of the museum leaving only two narrow isle for walking. The middle section is blocked off and can be seen only far away. This museum has two floors. The second floor is just as interesting as the first. The second floor is less of a dumping ground. Even the things they have in the cabinet or behind the glass are fascinating. There is so much things to see inside this museum that you do need minimum 2 hours. I feel like there is so much to see that I don't know what am I suppose to look at first. The most interesting item on display here is the whale skeleton. It is so big that there is no way you will miss it.

    We took a walk through the park on a beautiful Paris afternoon and stopped by grande galerie de…read morel'évolution, which is just one of many places to visit in the Natural History Museum network. Wow! I've been to a few museums in my travels and this one ranks as on of the best designed and overall coolest I've seen. Although it was built in 1889, the interior is extremely modern. For me, part of the museum experience is not just the content of the museum but the architecture and design. The open concept inside is very dramatic. Speakers and lighting have been set up to simulate thunderstorms which cycle through every now and then. Oh, I think there's some natural history stuff here too.

    The Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle consisted of several small museums and a zoo. Issue is…read morethat they require an admission paid separately to each museum. There are no discount if you are planning on hitting all museums and the zoo in one day. If you add each museum admission cost together, it can get very costly. It is like 10 euro here and 10 euro there - definitely not cool. B and I visited all the museums and zoo under the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle. They were all very different than the Picaso museum, Louvre and etc. The museums and the zoo are very education and suitable for all ages. The Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle was founded during the French Revolution back in the 1700s. The museums are easy to get to by metro or bus.

    We took our kids, ages 5 and 6, to this exhibit, Grande Galerie de l'Évolution, and to the…read moreChildren's Museum (Galerie sea Enfants) (nestled in the same building) on the recommendations of a few internet sites. We thought this was the museum itch that would captivate the kids and our interest (as the kids would not be able to handle a visit to the Louvre). It was only okay. It cost about 40€ for our family of 4 for the two exhibits. We love museums and spend hours visiting them at home but this museum was eh...just okay. It wasn't worth the waste of our time in Paris. Our kids and we would have been much happier revisiting the Luxembourg Gardens again (they have a kids' playground that's a small fee for all day access. The playground is enclosed and has a Tarzan swing, great play features, water fountains, and much more). If we had it to do again, we would not have come to this museum at all. The Galerie de l'Évolution was much better than the Children's exhibit (it was a big dud).
