Members' reviews on MUSÉUM NATIONAL D’HISTOIRE NATURELLE - JARDIN DES PLANTES
I bought a two for one ticket from the museum's official online ticket seller, which included one temporary and one permanent exhibition for 16 EUR. Separately, the tickets cost 13 EUR each. I paid and asked that the ticket be sent to me by email. I received a ticket for only the permanent exhibition (13 EUR)
At the door I explained the mistake and offered to pay the difference of three EUR, but the cashier would only offer to sell me another ticket for 13 euros, full price for the missing temporary exhibition ticket! She told me that the "official" ticketing agency, attached to the museum's website, was separate from the door tickets and that's she couldn't do anything about it.
I asked to see the manager, who told me the same thing. I asked to see HER manager, but he was "in a meeting". I find their obstinance ridiculous over the price of three euros.
Don't buy the tickets online!
