The guide was responsible and approachable, adjusting the depth and method of explanation based on the children's age and interests. The children were very engaged and the interaction was very interactive. It was a very enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!★

Reviews: Shanghai Natural History Museum In-depth Tour with Tickets (Chinese-language/Private Tour Available)
Guest User2025-12-08
Museum is a must-visit, especially if you have kids.
There are many fascinating science exhibits and dinosaur fossil discoveries. The dinosaur bones are truly impressive, displayed in full, life-size 1:1 ratio, letting you imagine just how massive these creatures once were.
It’s best to plan at least 4 to 6 hours for your visit. We spent about six hours inside and still felt there was so much to see. Every section from dinosaur fossils to extinct animal displays was engaging and educational.
If your children love dinosaurs, animals, or science, they will definitely enjoy this museum.★
