Admission is approximately 1,200 KES ($9 USD) for adults and 600 KES ($4.50 USD) for children; open daily 8:30am to 5:30pm including weekends. The Hall of Kenya natural history exhibits with full animal taxidermy, prehistoric human fossil displays, and the Snake Park adjacent to the main building are the top draws for older children. Kids under 6 tend to lose interest quickly in the exhibit-heavy halls — better suited for ages 8 and up who can engage with the content. The Snake Park charges a small additional fee (around 500 KES) and is a genuine highlight for curious big kids, but skip it if your child has any phobia around snakes or reptiles. The museum grounds include a cafe and sculpture garden that offer a pleasant cool-down break between indoor galleries.
