× I've only gone there two times in my entire life because I am usually engaged with work.
✓ I've only gone there twice in my entire life because I am usually engaged with work.
The phrase 'two times' is less natural than 'twice' when indicating frequency. Using 'twice' is more idiomatic in English.

✓ Moreover, locating a museum is not easy as we have very few in my country, but in the future I would like to visit them often.

✓ Moreover, it was educative because we got to learn about the ancient town of.
The sentence refers to a past event ('it was educative'), so the verb 'get' should be in the past tense 'got' to maintain tense consistency.
