What you need to know
- Saturday Nature Hunters club with stories and small crafts about a new animal each week: a 10am hour for daycare-age kids with an adult (€5) and an 11am session for primary schoolers on their own (€7.50); book at the ticket office or by phone
- No café and no snacks inside, since eating and drinking is currently not allowed in the building; the streets around it have plenty of cafés
- Parking is tight at the door, with only a few spaces, so plan on a nearby parking garage or come by train
About
Mainz's natural history museum tells the region's deep past in vaulted Gothic halls. The "Wild Worlds" exhibition moves through fossils from tropical seas, giant amphibians of a red desert, a primeval horse from a volcanic lake, manatees, the "terrible beast" of the ancient Rhine, and Ice Age hyenas and woolly rhinos. A separate section covers forest wildlife. Kids hoping for dinosaurs won't find any: the collection is all local.
