National Museum, Bloemfontein

Absolutely incredible! Well kept and organised, a wide diversity of displays and exhibits. I recommend spending at least two hours in the museum to see all the museum has to offer. Perfect place to take children to learn about natural history as well as Bloemfontein and South African history. I will definitely be back to go through the exhibits properly. I arrived late on Saturday and didn't get time to go through everything properly. Take note of the correct opening time: Mon - Fri: 09:00 - 16:30 Sat: 10:00 - 15:00 Sun: Closed

I’ve been to this museum probably 50 times. It’s still one of my favorite places to visit when I get to Bloemfontein. I wish they had more funding to expand, but its still one of the best places I go to. Everyone is friendly, everything is clean and really informative. Yes there’s updates needed but you can’t go wrong with a fantastic museum. Family friendly, my favorite area is the Solar System section. Take a chance on this museum it might just surprise you!

Quite impressed with the museum, you can see some of the displays have been around for donkeys years, a little dusty but still very interesting. Well worth the visit. The entrance was only R32 for five if us and it was a good two or three hours worth of entertainment. The building is clean and well maintained.

Very nice, and friendly people. Just need a bit of maintenance. But still I will recommend the museum. And it is cheap. Just for the note, they don't have card facilities.

Very well maintained considering the rather cheap entrance fee. So much to see and the exhibits are very well done and maintained. I would recommend a visit when in the area.

The information in this museum is just out of this world. From politics, animals, planets, human history. It's a real national museum. Spent close to 2hours in there. Information galore. All cities shud have something like this. Love it.

The museum was nice and the students really enjoyed the exhibition. We went for a lesson on space but in the future the presenter must try not to be so anxious as she made some mistakes and we dont mind as we are all here to learn. I saw they were busy with renovation and i cant wait to see what they have inside.

Had a wonderful day entertaining the little ones at the National Museum. Fun day was had by all. I have not been to the Museum in ages, and just experiencing everything through the eyes of my grandchildren was priceless. Something money cannot by. The absolute beauty af it all. The magnificent animals on exhibition are awesome. The size of the giraffe, elephant and rhino take your breath away. Do yourself a favor and visit the Museum when you have some free time on your hands. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Museum is definitely one of the best sites in bloemfontein. in one short visit I learnt more about the geology in history of this region than I would have ever imagined. their explanations of the karoo supergroup were better than anything I've found online. Fossil exhibit was excellent. The historical Street scene created on the second Deck is so authentic you forget your in a museum. The tool development display from stone age to steel is about the best I've ever seen. And the price could not be lower. Only problem the audio guide devices were all dead. No one charged the batteries.

What a great experience. Will visit again.
