Students review their trip to the Natural History Museum

Posted by: MPW London students - 14 April 2025 - Activities & Sports - Read time: 5 minutes

“This museum is about the natural world, including marine and terrestrial life, historical creatures such as dinosaurs, whales and the evolutionary history of humans as well. My favourite part was the earthquake simulation which felt very real. Although the earthquake level is not particularly high, I still felt excited. This earthquake occurred in Japan in 1995.

What I really disliked was that the restaurant prices are very high, and it’s very hot inside the museum. I think teenagers will be very interested in the natural world, or students who learn about nature will like this museum. Overall, I still recommend this museum because it has many areas where you can learn a lot of knowledge that cannot be learned in school.”

“The Natural History Museum is very close to the school, right across from it. There are many plants in the garden there, which is very suitable for observation and learning. Entering the museum, a huge whale skeleton was hanging inside, its name is Hope. In the blue zone, there were lots of wild animal samples. There was an animal that I am very interested in and was mysterious. It was called “Moeritherium Lyonsi” and it looked much more like a small hippopotamus than a modern-day elephant. The real animal specimens inside really shocked me.

Last but not least!!! I also went to experience the restaurant in the museum. I ordered an adult hamburger and fries, but the waiter, seeing that I looked like a child, gave me the children’s meal instead! I would recommend the museum to people with young children as there is lots to do and see!”

“The Natural History Museum is a very big and famous museum in the UK, London. Inside the museum you can find whatever you want: stones, skeletons, plants, animals and much more. I really liked the whales, lions, tigers and even plants. There also was a very huge and ancient tree. To be honest there was no big disadvantage itself, but I did not like the prices in the restaurant and a lot of people in the same place.

If you like nature, I really recommend you visit that museum, especially if you are from UK, I think you are not going to regret it. I strongly recommend visiting the Natural History Museum, it’s 10 out of 10 and it’s free so you have nothing to lose!”

“The Natural History Museum is in South Kensington. This museum is about history and has some natural cultural relics, it is a huge and an old museum – I really liked it. In the museum, it has a lot of parts; it has astronomy part, a rock part and many other parts. My favourite part is the fossil part and specimen part, I saw a lot of interesting fossils and specimens. I think somebody who likes history and nature will like this museum. The museum is very big, I think you need three hours to visit the museum. I really recommend visiting this museum.”

“The National History Museum is located in South Kensington. There are a lot of ancient creatures displayed. I saw the models of lions and whales. Meanwhile, there were some horrible fish, such as an angler fish. My friend and I enjoyed it, because we are animal people, and we took a lot of pictures at the museum. In addition, there is a shop for souvenirs, but the prices were even higher than Eiffel Tower.

In general, the National History Museum is a nice place to expand my view, and I also learnt a lot of things from it.”

Carlos Li

“The Natural History Museum is in South Kensington and is focused on the natural world. Firstly, the things I liked were how the different sections of animals were well organized. There were some different activities to explain the background of each animal. Secondly, I didn’t like how the rooms were hidden room as it was difficult to navigate the building.

I think my uncle would like to be in the museum because he is a person who likes to learn from everything so the museum would be perfect option. To conclude, the class and I had a nice moments in the museum and we enjoyed learning at the same time.”
