Very thoughtful place, great exhibition and intersting facts about the countrys fauna and dinosaur findings. Its mostly written in Mongolian, so have your translator app at hand. They offer student discounts and elderly/disabled people and children free access.Loved the funny eyes on some of the animals haha.

Absolutely worth to see.The entrance fee is 9000 mnt but if you want to take photo you have to buy another ticket and it costs 10000 mnt. So i paid 19000 mnt for entrance and photography.There are hundreds of frozen wild animals and butterflies beside the dinosaurus skeletons and fossils.

A lack of English descriptions on many of the displays makes this museum lose marks. But otherwise a good place to learn about Mongolian history.

This museum contains two big dinosaurs’ fossils. If you’re interested in dinosaurs, it must be a hot spot to you. It takes about 45 minutes to look around. It’s worthwhile.

Small and interesting museum with some good explanation in English. It contains specimens returned from the USA in 2016. Useful before or after a Gobi trip.

Great displays, most have English as well as Mongolian. Be prepared to pay an extra fee if you want to take pictures of the displays. Wish they had a gift shop.

Well worth the price for introduction to fossils found in Mongolia. Although the exhibitions are limited, the museum is well organized and staff are friendly and accommodating. Student tickets are also priced at 1500 tugrik which is a steal for a museum in the city.

The museum is much smaller than you would expect. However there are enough pieces in here that will make it an enjoyable visit. To be able to see parts of these prehistoric creatures is quite the sight.

Three rooms with dinosaur bones and info about them. Not very expensive, for student 1500 tugriks. In 30 minutes you are probably done.

Can’t really say anything. I walked over there during the hours they had posted for being open. The door was open. I walked inside and was promptly told they were closed. I pointed to the hours on the door (which were within the hours I was thereand they just said sorry, closed. So perhaps call ahead first. The monastery is about a 10 minute walk up the road from here.

The museum is small compared to what you would think of as a museum. The entrance is closed so make sure u open it (though it has no sign). I stood a good 5 minute wondering if it was even a museum before braving to venture in.Inside is a different word. The dinosaurs are unique and well displayed. The fossils are well labeled and explained. The moderate collection is definitely worth a visit.

This little museum is a hidden gem of Ulan Bator (for me at least!). If you are lucky enough to find the curator on site she will also give you a free detour in English in the prehistoric world of dinosaur and explaining what the job of the scientist is for the conservation and reconstruction of the bones and the skeletons . There also are a lot of dinosaur eggs. welcome to jurassic park!

Very small, only will take you about fifteen minutes inside. Some interesting displays but a overall a bit hokey. If youre in the area, it is quite cheap though and you might enjoy poking around.

The new exhibition room has been opened recently and another set of dinasaur skeleton fossil added. Good to see these high quality exhibits back to Mongolia from US. (Earlier illegally exported to US)

Very small, only two rooms. A few good pieces, but mostly disappointing. Dont expect spending more than 20 minutes (and Im usually very long in museums).

This place couldnt be a bigger pile of dino dung. I was so excited to see this place and was so let down, there are a total of 5 piles of bone. Mostly either fake looking, or un covered from the hunk of soil they were buried in. Save your money and go to the national museum where they have hours of information on Mongolia with thousands of artifacts.

Hidden gem. A small but interesting collection of dinosours skeletons. Interesting history behind Mongolia getting that fossils back from American expeditions. There are plans to make the museum even bigger.

Very small but if you need to kill 30 mins and want to learn something about dinosaur bones, this place has you covered. The displays have English and are well done. It is just very small so be prepared.

Cool museum, albeit small. The guy at the front first said 2000 tögrög (even the ticket says 2000but refused to let me in unless I paid 3000. I paid the extra 1000 tögrög finally just to get the guy to quit hassling me.
