An extraordinary visit with countless fossils, giant reproductions, and animatronics that follow you with their eyes. An unforgettable and unparalleled experience... from the largest terrestrial dinosaurs to marine dinosaurs and the great mammoth... a complete exhibition on more than 4 levels... frankly awesome 🤩

ease of booking on Klook: very easy to book & redeem tickets on site facilities: overall, a lot of fossils to look at - not just dinosaurs but also rocks & other animals. not an avid dinosaur lover as well but was definitely interesting to be at a real dinosaur muesum experience: please check on your route getting to this museum as it can be a little difficult! my friends & i drove during Dec (very snowy), on our way back - one of the roads near the moutainy areas closed but Google was not updated on this & there were not much cars on our path. just be extra careful!

This is an irresistible place for dinosaur enthusiasts. From adults to children, everyone can have a relaxing and fun day. You can step into the age of dinosaurs and learn about these once-dominant creatures of the Earth. It's a lot of fun! Because we visited on a weekend, it was very crowded. The restaurants and souvenir shops were also packed, so be prepared for that. However, this is a great place that's both educational and entertaining, so I highly recommend it.

Perfect for family outings, the museum boasts a well-designed layout and a rich collection of complete dinosaur fossils, some of which are genuine. The museum's collection is extensive, and a reservation is required for the excavation experience. The park also features a forest park suitable for young children, which requires an additional fee.

Easy to redeem tickets. A must visit for dinosaur lovers. We originally went to see Pokemon fossil museum but the dinosaur museum is definitely worth a visit.
