• Weekday mornings mostly, since the museum opens only on certain weekends and holidays, which it posts in its announcements
• On the university campus in Zografou: on weekdays bus 250 stops at Geology (Γεωλογία), and at weekends only bus 608 runs, about a 500 m walk from its Zografou Cemetery terminus
• A school-trip favorite, with more than 10,000 pupils visiting each year, so expect groups on weekday mornings

The Zoological Museum belongs to the University of Athens biology department, and its collections date back to 1858. Across 2,200 m² it shows around 500 mammals as mounts or skeletons, including a tiger, about 2,500 birds covering every species found in Greece, plus nests and eggs, and around 1,000 reptiles, amphibians and fish. Dioramas recreate Greek and world habitats, with a focus on endangered Greek species.
