I encourage you to visit if you have youngsters who have interest into Paleontology.

No public access, but 4 or 5 very impressive displays

I cannot believe they have an actual full T-Rex!This place is awesome, Im sad its closed during the Pandemic

It was nice to see the fossils and learn some new things about paleontology. My son is an enthusiast so he was excited to go. I think it could have been a little more for them to see and do but overall great experience

It was closed the day I visited, but from the other reviews it looks like I didnt miss much. Almost all the exhibits are outside the locked doors and are available to view in the zoology building. Some had information, most just a name. I loved seeing the Tyrannosaurus up close. There were several other skulls and a few other skeletons. Another highlight for me was the cast of Lucy, the hominid found by Dr Leaky and his team that inspired so many peoples interest in anthropology. It isnt a very big place, and as interested as I was, I only spent a couple of hours. Several tour groups came through spending more like 10 or 15 minutes. Its a place to visit if you are interested and near the campus, but I wouldnt call it a destination into itself.

Not really a museum. There were few nice casts of dinosaur skeletons and some triceratops heads. But they are just in a lobby area. And no signage to help you find it.

The Museum of Paleontology was very interesting, they have a number of amazing dinosaur skeletons, some quite rare.

Free entrance. It is interesting for kids. Quite impressive to see a university have collection.

Ok. Thr are much better NH museums out thr.

Great T-REX & Triceratops skeletons, but otherwise not much to see here if you’ve been to a dinosaur museum before.

The few things they have in display are neat, but almost the entire museum is off limits to the public

Definitely a must see. Its buried within the library at Berkeley but theres a full T Rex, several triceratops, smaller dinosaurs on the walls. I had a blast and I think you will too.

Closed when we visited, but we were permitted to walk through the hallways. Exhibit rooms contain many interesting artifacts and dioramas.

Ty(rannosaurus) and P(terry)odacty are the main stars plus smaller fossils in the display windows. A nice walk-thru.

It was ok for being on Berkeley campus.

As I was told, it isnt THAT kind of museum. Access restricted to academics. Not for general public. You can just walk through a sort of lobby.

Great learning experience! My son and I loved it

Awesome! small exhibit but very awesome.

Some dope dinosaur bones, highly recommend

You can see the t rex and the pterodactyl from the circular stairwell

UCMP only has a few exhibits which are open to the public (including full-size skeletal casts of Tyrannosaurus, Pteranodon, and the ichthyosaur Stenopterygius, as well as a HUGE genuine Triceratops skull) but they are free to visit and pretty impressive. Deluxe guided tours are available to school groups for a fee, so check out the UCMP website if youd like to organize a field trip.

I have school Monday through Friday from 7:50 In the morning to 2:45, Id love to go there but its closed on weekends?!?! Someone tell me why.

NOT a museum, most were replica displays. Don’t go if you’re looking for a real museum. Shouldn’t be advertised to the public as a museum of paleontology since access is for research staff only.

I saw lucy the 1st human well replica

Paleontologists dream. Has a great selection of fossils, satisfies people of all ages and interests!

The exhibits on display outside are great- interesting fossils and evolution exhibits.

Its technically a museum but not really. You will, however, see a full T-Rex skeleton in the stairwell area of a prominent science building at a beautiful college campus.

A must see for visitors to the Berkeley campus.

Fantastic

Beautiful place with lots of grass outside

Great experience!!

Amazing

Good free exhibits, kids loved them.

There is not much to see.

Inside University worth visiting

Not many exhibits, but the T. rex is worth it if youre in the neighborhood.

Surprised by dinosaur bone collection. Worth a gander.

Some exhibits inside one of the college buildings. A secret treasure.

Dinosaurs and other ancient stuff.

Nice place

Its closed every day of the year except one - Cal day, a university open house.

This is pretty neat, definitely worth checking out

Not an actual museum!

Come for the T-Rex, stay for the Stenopterygius!!

Free...

Cool place

It has awesome information about fossils!!
