The caf and the shop are open during the following times and can be used without paying the museum admission. After visiting the museum why not take time out to relax in the friendly atmosphere of our Zebra Caf , enjoy freshly ground coffee, a light lunch or afternoon tea.
Children are especially welcome with a play corner for the younger ones.
The Museum shop has an excellent range of gifts and souvenirs including mineral specimens from around the world, jewellery, soft toys, greeting cards, model dinosaurs and much more, all with a natural history theme. We also stock a selection of natural history books and offer an ordering service for specialist publications. The Discovery Room is a hands-on interactive centre that encourages a sense of wonder about the natural world. There are feely boxes, microscopes and a fun way to find out about variation in humans.
