Nairobi National Museum
Museum Hill, Nairobi
Open daily
The Nairobi National Museum is the flagship of the National Museums of Kenya, set on leafy grounds at Museum Hill. Families can move from fossil halls and the famous prehistory collection to galleries on Kenya's birds, mammals, cultures and history, plus rotating art exhibits. Botanical gardens, a shaded picnic area and the adjoining Snake Park make it an easy half-day out for all ages.
Good to know: Combine it with the Snake Park next door — a single visit covers both.
