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!

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 🤩

We have been to many dinosaur exhibitions around the world but this has been the best one yet. Everything was so well displayed and the moving dinosaurs were so entertaining. It was well worth the stop in Fukui.

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.

an entirely magical experience, probably not worth the day trip if you’re not a dinosaur nut as the whole town is dinosaur themed, but it for me it was breathtaking.

if you love dinosaurs this is a must visit! they even have a digging site I couldn't go for lack of time but it should be a great experience for kids and adults alike. they have a wow ride but which is also very entertaining for kids be sure to ride it atleast one way from fukui.

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.
