    Museum which remains true to its eccentric late Victorian roots, set in beautiful grounds which make the most of the museum's hilltop placing. A perfect summer weekend afternoon

    Great fun to be had by everyone. The aquarium is worth the small fee to enter, and during the summer they have jazz bands playing in the bandstand.

    Take a half day to make the most of your visit: both the Museum and its Gardens make a great weekend mini-trip. Extensive collections about animals, including an aquarium, and a great glasshouse café!

    The photo exhibition of the Rio favelas is great. The walrus needs no introduction, the gardens are beautiful. The cafe is nice. It's free. I love this museum.

    Beautiful green space in Forest Hill with sweeping panoramic views of London. Perfect for a picnic or a walk. Family friendly, with lots to do.

    The Horniman is so poorly taken care of that its kind of charming. It definitely needs a clean (some of the spiders in the shelves are not taxidermy) but the displays are fabulous. Authentic.

    Great place for children (not so good if you want a quiet day). Brilliant collection of musical instruments, perhaps too many although lighting is poor making it difficult to view in detail.

    Go there in spring, it's wonderful! On weekends there's a market at the top of the hill with special food and bio eggs/meat/veg to buy.

    What a great place to spend the afternoon. The butterfly house was lovely and the grounds are beautiful. Spectacular view of London too!

    Kids adore the nature trail, aquarium, "Hands On Base" where they can touch museum objects, and "Nature Base" where they can investigate a beehive. - Green Guide Editor

    Lovely park and little museum on a hill in the South East. Better take a bus from the overground station, to avoid the sloping path.

    Lovely view of London from the gardens. The music garden is too much fun. And some amazingly weird taxidermy to freak out the kids.

    Have a look at the unusual musical instruments and use the interactive panels to hear how they sounded. The gardens are also nice for a stroll or a picnic.

    Part of the Horniman’s charm is the fact that whilst it’s small enough to be manageable in one visit, crucially it’s still interesting enough that there’ll be something new each time you go. Leer más

    Perfect place for the kids on a wet weekend. The aquarium and hands-on music room (adjacent to the instrument collection) are favourites.

    Free entry, though no decent parking nearby. If suggest parking at Sainsbury for 2 hours and walking up.

    One of the most popular displays at the Horniman Museum is a walrus created by a taxidermist who had never actually seen one and, not knowing that they had loose folds of skin, overstuffed it. Leer más

    If you're planning on eating in the cafe, take your food through to the ornate summer house in the gardens. Much more peaceful.
