• Cash only at the desk, since the museum takes no cards, so bring change for adult tickets
• Kids under 12 need an adult with them for the whole visit
• A picnic room inside for packed lunches, plus the CaféBar Limulus for drinks and snacks

A natural history museum in the north wing of Nymphenburg Palace. The heart of it is a quiz hall where kids press a button to answer questions about animals, and doors pop open or model animals sprint off. Pumuckl audio plays by cases of local wildlife.

Elsewhere: glittering minerals, the history of life, a hall on the brain, and Bruno, the brown bear who roamed Bavaria in 2006.
