Last September 29, 2018, we are able to visit National Museum of Natural History and finally see with our own eyes what the rave is all about this place. I’ve been planning to go here ever since I heard about it’s opening last year. My son is a Nature Smart (he’s been getting that award from their recognition since K1) so I make sure to nurture the nature lover in him. And this museum is perfect for him! There is no entrance fee and it is open from Tuesday to Sunday. But first how again to go there:
at LRT 1. He's so excited! Can you tell?
HOW TO GET THERE
From Malolos, Bulacan we ride a van that will take us at LRT 1 Balintawak station. Riding the LRT 1, we alight at UN Station. From there we walk to the National Museum of Natural History.
I enjoyed my time there and I know my son did as well. It has 4 floors of various part of Philippine’s history and it was delightful to watch my 8 year old son marvel at these treasures. He was really fascinated with the artifacts and statues and replicas and photos. He was even jumping from one exhibit to the other. He’s favorite according to him are the dinosaur skulls replica at second floor. My favorite was the tree of life. This structure greeted us while entering the museum.
While there, you can also visit National Museum of Fine Arts, National Museum of Anthropology and who can forget Luneta Park! We’ve managed to take photo at the famous Rizal monument then play at Children's Park nearby. I wanted to take a photo of Riley with Spolarium at National Museum of Fine Arts but the line is longer than I anticipated. It was a Saturday so crowd is quiet large. So I promised Riley that we will come back again! This time I’ll try to come during weekdays to have more time and the tour will not be rushed.
