But to get inside, you'll need to pre-book your visit.

Every Monday morning, tickets are released for Nature After 5 later in the week.

Your admission will have a marked timed 15-minute admittance window.

Once you step inside, you'll need to follow the path through the four-floor museum while wearing your mask.

One of the top sights, the Fossil Gallery, will make you feel like a kid again. 

You will be able to get up close to 30 complete dinosaur skeletons from up to 85 million years ago and several life-sized models.
