Traveler reviews
Aziz Rasyidin
★★★★★2 weeks agoAn amazing museum for both kids and adults. The exhibits are modern, interactive, and beautifully designed, covering everything from dinosaurs and fossils to wildlife and human evolution. The museum is spacious, well organized, and easy to explore. We spent several hours here and still felt there was more to see. A perfect family-friendly attraction in Shanghai and definitely worth a visit!
