Shanghai Natural History Museum | Explore the Natural World

| Explore the natural world. The Shanghai Natural History Museum is amazing! Let me share my itinerary and experience with you. 🎫 Tickets and Reservations You can make a reservation 7 days in advance at 19:00 on the WeChat mini program or the official WeChat account "Shanghai Natural History Museum" (closed on Mondays). Tickets are CNY 30 per adult. Children under 1.3 m or under 6 years old can enter for free, but you still need to make a reservation. Remember to bring your ID card. If you don't have your ID card, you will need to exchange for a paper ticket, which is a hassle. 🚗 Transportation Take metro line 13 to Natural History Museum station. Exit 1 leads directly to the museum, which is very convenient. 🌍 Visiting Order After entering, register your stroller and go to the second floor. The ticket collection/verification point is next to the cultural and creative store on the second floor. Remember to collect your ticket. You can buy a movie ticket without buying a museum ticket, so you can come and watch a movie anytime. Tickets are verified by ID card on the second floor. I arrived at 10:00 am on Sunday, and the crowd slowly increased. After entering, start with the "Mystery of Origins" on the second floor, then go to the "River of Life" on the first floor, and then slowly walk around. There were so many people, and I was worried about trampling with my child. There are so many people on a normal weekend. Walk around and listen to the audio guide, and take a break when you're tired. 💰 Audio Guide You can rent one at the service desk on the first floor or the second floor. They cost CNY 20 or CNY 50, with a deposit of CNY 200 or CNY 500. We rented two, which are suitable for children over 6 years old. If your child is too young, one is enough. 🌟 Highlights The Mamenchisaurus fossil is a must-see. It's spectacular. The African savanna animal scene is also great for photos. 🎈 Activities Fossil excavation, cosmic explosion, and Cretaceous period. You can make a reservation for the morning session at 9:15 am and the afternoon session at 1:00 pm. You can only make a reservation after entering! Fossil excavation is very popular. Only children between 1 m and 1.3 m can enter. 🍔 Dining and Rest There are restaurants and rest areas in the museum, so you can recharge when you're tired. The Shanghai Natural History Museum is not only educational, but also a great place to take photos. It's perfect for family trips and dates. Go for it!
