National Museum of Natural History

This was such a true rare gem, like how do you get several mesmerizing museums in one place and all of them offer FREE ENTRANCE?? Like they should be treated like national treasures but here you get to see and experience everything for complete free, so please, treasure them 100x times more. It’s spacious with lots of different floors and zones for all kinds of natural scenery and habitats and extremely well-kept specimens (our jaws literally dropped when seeing the giant bats). I never want to leave this place and just wish my country has one similar

The National Museum of Natural History is a must-visit for anyone interested in the Philippines' rich biodiversity. The exhibits are well-curated and informative, showcasing the country's diverse flora and fauna. The architecture of the building itself is impressive, and the Tree of Life centerpiece is truly awe-inspiring. While some areas could benefit from more interactive displays, it's a fascinating and educational experience overall 💯

Quick review: a "Free-Entry" museum, good for students and those natural history enthusiasts. Had to visit just to see the "Tree of life" and experience the central elevator . Place is packed with information, however, some screen and audio-visual monitors are not working, some bulbs are not even lighting anymore. Overall, it was a nice place, might just need some maintenance and/or renovation and improvement especially the water missing on the washroom. Would still come back (4/5).
