(Translated by Google) 2018/7/13 It was so good that I came back again. 2017/7/29 It's really good! !! !! !! At first I thought it was a child-friendly facility, but when I actually went there, it was completely different. I was clearly misunderstanding. sorry. The structure of the building itself is elaborate, and not only children but also adults can enjoy it because it is well explained academically. The entrance fee is also cheap (720 yen for adults), so even if you go with your family, it will not be a big burden. I think it is a facility that everyone should visit at least once. Fukui has a lot of delicious food (and many of them are of a common price), so I think you can enjoy local meals while you go to the Dinosaur Museum. There is also Tojinbo, and there are many hot spring towns, so there are many places to enjoy. (Original) 2018/7/13 すごく良かったので、また来た。 2017/7/29 すっごくいい！！！！ 最初は子供だまし的な施設かと思ってましたが、実際に行ってみると全然違ってました。明らかに誤解してました。ごめんなさい。 建物の構造自体が凝っていて、子供はもちろん、学術的にもしっかり説明がされていて大人も楽しめます。 入場料も割安（大人720円)なので家族で行ってもそれほど負担は大きくありません。 誰でも一度は訪れるべき施設だと思います。 福井はおいしい物も多い（しかも庶民的な値段の物が多い）ので、恐竜博物館に行ったついでに地元メシも楽しめると思います。 あの東尋坊もありますし、温泉街も多いので楽しめる所は多いです。

Amazing place and really worth the visit. For english users buying tix to the permanent exhibition was easy. You can not buy the Dino-A-Live event tickets on site and must be bought in advance. Come early (around 8am) as when i left at around 12pm. The queue to go up to the museum by car was horrible. Parking lots are limited as well so you will be routed to further away car parks. Mosy exhibits have English translations, and you can rent an audio guide as well. Word of advice if you are visiting. Try to go on the weekdays, the weekend is really crowded with families.

An entertaining and expansive collection of dinosaur skeletons, fossils and research. Extensive information about the exhibits offered in Japanese and English as well as the wider context of palaeontology in Japan and the rest of the world. Easily the most exhaustive display of dinosaur specimens I have ever seen and arranged in a way that makes the visit entertaining for all ages. (I just wish it were closer to Fukui city then I could visit more than once in this trip!) The museum also boasts a thorough exploration of the evolution of life, from the very beginnings of life on Earth to the advent of modern humans. Definitely recommended.

Superb museum with some of the best displays I have seen anywhere. Scientifically interesting as well as great fun for the kids, this museum is a must see.

Great place for kids. Kids will truly love this place . There are many touch and feel artifacts as well . Try to avoid weekends or public holidays, it will be full of people. Entourage from Kanazawa is very beautiful. Better to visit this place on non rainy days, outdoor area is also beautiful. Unfortunately it rained on the day we visited and we could not enjoy the sightseeing and artifacts outside. Souvenir shop has excavation kit and my son really loved it. He excavated T. rex out of his excavation kit at home and it was super fun. Be patient enough and do not miss any artifact. Even if you, they do sell book at artifacts onsite and it is very informative. For Foreigners, they have assistance by using smart phone and you can avail the service by paying 500 yen. It is worth spending that money.

We came here with family. This museum is a great and a large place to see dinosaurs. There are a lot of dinosaurs world. Children and adults will enjoy this interesting place. The entrance fee for adults is 720¥, for College and high school is 430¥ and Elementary school only 260¥. You can park your car with free, and it has a large of parking area. Recommendation for family holiday.

(Translated by Google) It was wider than I expected and I enjoyed it with my family! The admission fee is also cheap and recommended! (Original) 思ったよりも広く、家族ですごく楽しめました！入館料も安くオススメです！

Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum is the third largest dinosaur museum in the world. The museum is four storeys high and packed with fossils and dinosaur bones from around the world. It is a great place to visit to learn about paleontology. It is a good value for money.

Getting here was a full day trip from Kanazawa, but definitely a worthwhile experience. The museum has a lot of dinosaur models, some of which came from nearby dig sites. The format of the museum is quite nice as well with each floor covering different topics.

Great place to visit with the family! Ticket reservation is needed before showing up, due to the covid situation, the number of entries per day are limited.

(Translated by Google) The admission fee is as low as 730 yen for adults due to the operation of the prefecture, but the content is wonderful! ️ The access is not bad because you can go from Fukui Kita Junction on the Hokuriku Expressway through the free Chubu Jukan Expressway in about 20 minutes. Admission is by appointment, but children and adults can enjoy it ❗️ (Original) 県の運営だけあって入場料が大人730円と安いのに内容は素晴らしい‼️北陸自動車道の福井北ｼﾞｬﾝｸｼｮﾝから無料の中部縦貫自動車道を通って20分位で行けるのでｱｸｾｽも悪くない。入場は予約制だが、子供から大人まで楽しめる❗️

(Translated by Google) It was more than worth seeing. There was an exhibition about dinosaurs as well as the origin and evolution of life, which was a great learning experience. If you want to go around properly, you can't finish it in half a day. (Original) 見応えが十二分にありました。 恐竜について展示はもちろん生命の起源~進化などの展示もあり、とても勉強になりました。 ちゃんと周ろうと思ったら半日じゃ見切れないです。

(Translated by Google) Good exhibition, good building, bad location. It takes time, but it is worth visiting once. It's not a place for adults to push children away and take the front row of the parade at Disneyland. (Original) 展示よし、建物よし、立地悪し。時間はかかるが一度は訪れる価値あり。ディズニーランドで子どもを押しのけてパレードの前列を陣取るような大人達が来る場所ではないが。

(Translated by Google) The scale of the dinosaurs on display is amazing! Even adults can enjoy it! (Original) 展示の恐竜のスケールが凄い！ 大人でも楽しめる！

(Translated by Google) Fukui / Dinosaur Museum / Japan ’s largest dinosaur museum and one of the top three museums in the world The museum looks like a dinosaur egg Once inside the museum, take the escalator directly down to the bottom of the building The museum introduces the birth of dinosaurs, fossil excavation, dinosaur ecology, etc. You can watch the life of dinosaurs up to 360 degrees in the hall In addition to various dinosaur models, there are also real bones of dinosaurs In another area, the camp created a dinosaur environment Also through the large-screen digital video face-to-face Playing the life of a dinosaur The video playback images on these two sides are not the same It looks like a picture of life in the whole dinosaur world In the original calm scene of dinosaur life, one of the screens suddenly showed a scene of dinosaurs attacking each other, Instantly the dinosaur jumped to another screen on the opposite side, and then resumed a peaceful foraging There will be small surprises when people watch Many dinosaur fossils have been found in Fukui, and two of them are new species found in Fukui, so they are also called Fukui Dragon and Fukui Raptor. Friends who like dinosaurs can find opportunities to see (Original) 福井/恐龍博物館/ 日本最大的恐龍博物館，也是世界前三大博物館之一 博物館外型就像顆恐龍蛋 一進入博物館內，搭乘手扶梯直接下探建築物最底部 館內介紹恐龍誕生、化石挖掘、恐龍生態等 廳內可近距離360度觀賞恐龍生活 除各種恐龍模型外，其中有也恐龍的真骨 另一區則營造成恐龍的生長環境 另外也透過兩面面對面的超大螢幕數位視頻 播放著恐龍的生活 這兩面的視頻播放影像並不一樣 看起來就像是一整個恐龍界生活的畫面 在原本平靜的恐龍生活畫面中，其中一個螢幕突然播放一段恐龍互相攻擊的畫面時， 瞬間恐龍跳躍到對面的另一個螢幕上，然後又恢復平靜的覓食 讓人觀看時會有小驚喜 在福井發現了很多恐龍化石，其中還有兩種是在福井發現的新品種，所以又被稱福井龍跟福井盜龍 喜歡恐龍的朋友建議可以找機會去看看

Highly recommended. You can take a look at (and in some areas even touch) many different dinosaurs. They not only have dinosaurs, but also many interesting stones and the like. Nearly all of the signs come with an English translation, enabling you to make your way through the museum easily. In case you didn't purchase your ticket prior to your arrival, there is a very easy to use ticket machine and some friendly staff at the museums entry.

(Translated by Google) I went with my children, but unexpectedly it may be more enjoyable to go alone with adults. (Original) 子連れで行きましたが、案外大人だけで行くほうがゆっくりと楽しめるかもしれません。

(Translated by Google) I took my grandchildren! ️Very 😆 I was very happy ❤️ (Original) 孫を連れて行ってきました‼️とても😆よろこんでいましたよ❤️

(Translated by Google) Many actual fossils, restored models, moving robots, etc. The outside scenery is also beautiful. This is a great deal for 700 yen. (Original) 実際の化石や復元模型、動くロボット等多数。外の景色も綺麗。これで700円ちょいはかなりお得。

(Translated by Google) Since I came with my wife, I went with a 2-year-old child for the first time in 4 years. The size and volume of the exhibits are just right. It seemed a little early for the kids and didn't show much interest lol I will come when I grow up again (Original) 妻と2人で来て以来、4年ぶりくらいに2歳の子供を連れ3人で行きました。 広さや展示物のボリューム感などすごくちょうどいいです。 子供には少し早かったようであまり興味を示してくれませんでした笑 また大きくなったら来ようと思います

(Translated by Google) It's the busiest facility in Fukui prefecture right now. There were more than 100 cars outside the prefecture even on weekdays 😁 Please go and see 🦕 (Original) 福井県で今、一番賑わいがある施設ですね。県外の車が平日でも100台以上は足りました😁 是非行って見て下さい🦕

(Translated by Google) Great for families with children who are interested in dinosaurs When the weather is nice, you can spend the day together with the facilities outside ♪ (Original) 恐竜に興味があるお子様連れご家族には最高です 天気の良い日は外の施設も合わせ一日過ごせます♪

(Translated by Google) The dinosaur exhibition was very powerful and very spectacular. And anyway, the building is wonderful! (Original) 恐竜の展示が大迫力でとても見応えがありました。 そして、とにかく建物が素晴らしい！

(Translated by Google) My son, who loves dinosaurs, is very excited! !! Reservations are required in Corona! (Original) 恐竜大好きな息子は大興奮！！ コロナで予約制になってます！

(Translated by Google) I had to make a reservation in advance, but I filled out the reservation form on the spot. (Original) 事前予約が必要でしたが、その場で予約用紙記入して入れました。

(Translated by Google) The museum is on a hill, but it's a straight road, so cars are congested, so it's recommended to go early in the morning. The inside is 4 stories underground, and it is very crowded especially during summer vacation and Saturdays and Sundays. Children are overjoyed at the giant dinosaurs. Various souvenirs, dinosaurs, etc. were sold at the shop. (Original) 博物館は丘の上にありますが、一本道なので、車は渋滞します、午前中早めに行くのがオススメです。 中は地下4階建て、特に夏休みや土日は大変混雑します。 巨大な恐竜に子供は大喜びしてます。 売店も色々なお土産、恐竜等が売ってました。

Dinosaur Museum is our midway stop for the long drive from Kanazawa to Osaka. This place is really worth to go. Entrance ticket only costs about 800yen per person. They have real fossil and the dome is wonderful. You can understand a lot more on dinosaurs and its history. Do not forget to visit the Dino Store! Kids and Adults will surely find their own goods! Restaurant food is also good for a quick grab of food.

I am one of dinosaur fans and I enjoyed looking at many fossils and exhibits in the museum. There were hundreds of them and I was satisfied with that. The fossil hunting training rooms were also really enjoyable and educational. However, I felt dismayed by the fact that some of the information were outdated. For example, the skull fossil of Deinonychus is supposed to be narrower, but the museum showed it as a broad and wide skull, which was previously thought because experts believed it was relatively close to Allosaurus, which has a broad skull. Also, the life restoration models next to the fossil and at the new exhibit had NO PLUMAGE. Recently scientists found quill knobs, which are evidence of feathers, in a forearm of a Velociraptor fossil. I understand that fossils, even replica ones, are extremely expensive and hard to reconstruct. However, I think the museum should at least put plumage on the dromaeosaurid models or even just mention about it.

My friends in Japan highly recommended this dinosaur museum. So, I paid my visit last week and had a great time over there. You needed to make an online reservation first (which is very easy) due to the COVID-19 regulation. I believed kids and adults all enjoyed the diverse collections in this museum. Most exhibitions are labeled in both Japanese and English, so as the details (nice). Surprisingly, this world-class dinosaur museum is operated under the Fukui Prefecture, not the central government.

First visit and we really enjoyed it especially my 9 year old. So many things on display it took about 3 hours to see them all at a leisurely pace. Definitely recommend trying your hand at the fossil dig too.

Amazing museum, many things to see and a variety of animatronics dinosaurs

(Translated by Google) Wide and interesting (Original) 広くて面白い

(Translated by Google) Boys are overjoyed. (Original) 男の子は大喜びです。

(Translated by Google) It is a facility that adults can fully enjoy! With my annual passport, I felt it was even better! (Original) 大人も充分楽しめる施設です！年間パスポートで、さらにお得だと感じました！

(Translated by Google) It's powerful and even adults can enjoy it! Please be careful about advance reservation system due to the influence of the new corona! (Original) 迫力があって大人でも十分楽しめます！新型コロナの影響で事前予約制にご注意を！

(Translated by Google) The fossil excavation experience is recommended! A few years ago, there must have been a new discovery in the participating children. Please arrive early and make a reservation as there is a reservation. (Original) 化石発掘体験がオススメ！何年か前に、参加した子供に新発見があったはず。予約がいるので早めに到着して予約してください。

(Translated by Google) I went from Kansai in January 2020, but I was amazed. Is there such a museum in Fukui Prefecture? (Excuse me) Also, the surrounding mountains were too beautiful. Just be careful of the time as it is a bus to Katsuyama City Station. I will upload the bus timetable (as of January 2020). It takes about an hour by Echizen Railway from Katsuyama Station to Fukui. (Original) 関西から2020年1月に行きましたが、度肝を抜かれました。これほどの博物館が福井県にあるのか！（失礼）また周りの山系もあまりに美しかったです。ただ勝山市駅までバスですので、時間にご注意を。バス時刻表（2020年1月時点）をアップしておきます。勝山駅から福井までえちぜん鉄道で1時間くらいかと。

(Translated by Google) A building with a unique form. It was strange from the outside, but I was impressed by the structure of the atrium! The exhibits are designed to be enjoyed by children, and the explanations for each one are quite interesting, and it was a facility that made me want to take the opportunity to take a closer look. It's kind of exciting to go down the first escalator. After that, we went to an exhibition facility with a large egg-shaped atrium structure. The sounds here and there echoed at a moderate volume, and I even felt something mysterious. The process was decided and I couldn't see each exhibition in detail, which was a regret, but I wanted to take a closer look. (Original) 独特のフォルムの建築物。 外から見ても異様だったが、まさかの吹き抜け構造に感動！ 展示物も子どもが楽しめるようになっているし、一つ一つの説明もなかなか興味ぶかく、また機会を作ってじっくりと見に行きたいなぁと感じる施設でした。 最初のエスカレータでぐんぐん下っていくのは、なにかワクワクする気持ちになります。 そのあとは大きな卵形の吹き抜け構造の展示施設へ。あちこちの音声が適度なボリュームで響いておりなにか神秘的な感じさえしました。 行程が決まっておりそれぞれの展示を詳しくは見れず、心残りではありましたが、じっくりと見たかったです。

(Translated by Google) There were many exhibits and it was very enjoyable. (Original) 展示数も多く見応えがありとても楽しめました。

(Translated by Google) I went twice. You can play all day! I think that both dinosaur lovers and those who are not interested can enjoy it. It was so powerful that small children would cry. There is a facility outside where you can meet dinosaurs and insects by walking or by bus, but it was closed during the winter. Confirmation required! I think it's best to go in the warmer months. (Original) 2度行きました。一日遊べます！恐竜好きにも興味のない方でも楽しめると思います。迫力がありすぎて、小さい子は泣いてしまうかと笑　外にも歩きやバスで恐竜や昆虫に出会える施設がありますが、冬の時期は閉鎖されていました。確認が必要です！暖かい時期に行くのがいいかなぁと思います。

The museum is like shining egg nestled within the Fukui mountains. This is a very well designed and informative dinosaur musuem for all ages. The star pieces are the animatronic dinosaurs and life sized replicas. Highly recommend. Buy the transport round trip ticket for rail and bus at Echizen railway station (next to Fukui station) for 1500 Yen. It takes about 1 hour each way.

(Translated by Google) Exhibition scale larger than expected. I enjoyed it quite a bit. (Original) 予想以上の展示規模。 結構楽しめました。

(Translated by Google) The Dinosaur Museum, which is closed from the 29th of every year, is open this year. It is also a corona measure to avoid 3 cs with advance reservation system. Year A leisurely tour of the dinosaur museum Grandchildren are also very satisfied (Original) 例年29日から休館日になる、恐竜博物館だが今年は開園している。 それも事前予約制で3密回避のコロナ対策。 イヤーこんなにすいてる恐竜博物館は初めて、ゆっくり見学 孫も大満足

(Translated by Google) It is relatively vacant in winter. Admission requires advance reservations, and same-day reservations are also possible. (Original) 冬季は比較的に空いています。入場は事前予約制で、当日予約も可能です。

The best Dino museum I've been to. Great for families!

(Translated by Google) If you think that it is a leisure facility for children because it is a dinosaur, it is a serious museum. Adult men can be satisfied. (Original) 恐竜っていうから子供むけレジャー施設かと思ったら、本気の博物館。大人の男性なら満足できます。

We were at least 30 minutes late (bought tickets 1 day in advance) but still were allowed to enter 👍😃 2-3 dinosaurs move their body, except for the legs. Moving eyes are the most impressive 🙈 - can be scary for kids. Lots of amazing exhibits 🤩 : dinosaurs 🦕, mammoth 🐘, elk, skeletons of different types of humans. 2-3 hours is not enough. For the whole day visit. All shops and restaurants close together with the museum at about 17:00 - that's a pity 🙄 If you buy a ticket online in advance, you can enter much quicker - it took us about 5 minutes to enter during the weekend.

One of the greatest dinosaur museums in the world. It's very educational. You can spend a whole day there if you are a dinosaur fan. Of course a great place you come with your kida

We went here during near Chriatmas & outside was all covered in snow. Good place to bring kids & can easily spend 2 hours here. The museum is well structured & very informative.

We enjoyed that place, had to drive some extra to rich there, never regreted.

Fossils of dinosaurs displayed here. Good place to spend with family. Kids can also enjoy in the Dyno park

Interesting poster saying fukui happiness but kids look horrified. Anyway. We like this place. It gets a bit stuffy in summer indoors, and gets quite crowded. Restrooms are limited I think. You need to make reservations in advance to enter. Also, "babycar" is allowed but not those wagon type. Ours had seat belts and was specifically for built for babies and kids, but we were asked to leave the "wagon" at the entrance. They said two "babycars" are fine, but not our wagon type stroller.

I attended the outdoor excavation & fossil research experience through advanced booking. Although it was raining, the staff were very kind and helpful for a fruitful experience outdoors. As, I was the only foreigner in the research group, the staff went the extra mile to explain and guide me in the process. I am humbled and thankful for a delightful adventure in Fukui.

Great exhibits, it was a fun tour with lots of English as well as Japanese. There's a restaurant as well as souvenirs to buy.

Great exhibits. Especially the animatronic dinosaurs. The pork katsu in the restaurant was really delicious, too.

Quiet nice place

We ALL love it so much!! The dragons here are all impressive. The slide outside is also interesting.

Cool museum! The museum can get really crowded even in weekdays with students on a school trip, so it'd be better if you buy tickets in advance.

nice dinosaur museum, but unfortunately when I went there the museum was closed until the end of this month

(Translated by Google) Powerful score that even adults can enjoy (Original) 迫力満点　大人でも楽しめます

(Translated by Google) It was so crowded that there were so many people in Fukui. It feels like Jurassic Park. It can be used in various ways to pay the admission fee. It is recommended to buy a ticket at a convenience store in advance. Reservation required due to corona. (Original) 福井にこんなに人がいるのかというくらい混んでいた。ジェラシックパークみたいな感じ。入館料の支払いにはいろいろ使える。予めコンビニでチケットを買っておくのがおすすめ。コロナの関係で要予約。

(Translated by Google) It's a lot of fun with fossil specimens of dinosaurs and redevelopment. However, the redevelopment placed next to the fossil is very very small. The toilet is not good. (Original) 恐竜の化石標本や再現像がいっぱいでとてもとても楽しい。ただ、化石の横にちょこんと置かれた再現像がとてもとても小さい。トイレがイマイチ。

(Translated by Google) The moving dinosaurs are powerful (Original) 動く恐竜は迫力満点

(Translated by Google) Not only the dinosaurs, but also Kisho Kurokawa's building is spectacular! (Original) 恐竜だけではなく、黒川紀章さんの建物も見応えあり！

It will take one our and a half to look around the museum. A reservation is required now to enter. See official website.

There are dinosaurs. Lots of dinosaurs and children. If you are interested in looking at dinosaurs while dodging children this is the place for you. Also it's shaped like an egg. The inside is cavernous and echoey. All the screaming children will dance inside your ears. It's actually quite beautiful inside.

I learned about dinosaurs in the world, not just Japan.

Awesome Dinosaur museum! The design is top-down so you start by going down a super long escalator and gradually make your way back up to the top. Plenty of big exhibits, tons of info, and they even have presentations by resident researchers and archeologists! I just wish we could have stayed longer!

For 700 yen admission fee, you'll get access to one of the best dinosaur museums in the world. They have exhibits not only on dinosaurs, but also on other prehistoric animals, plants and even rocks and minerals. Very child friendly too, with some interactive exhibits plus ANIMATRONIC DINOSAURS. Tbh though, the animatronic dinosaurs are worth the price of admission by itself. 6/5. Would go again.

I wasn't expecting the museum to be this large, but it was very big and has a wide of collections from dinosaur fossils to geological samples. highly recommended for people of all ages, especially for children. The only problem is the access which might be quite difficult without cars. At the time, we had to book the time slots for entry in advance. Seems like a very popular destination in Fukui.

Very informative place about Dino fossils and as well as kids favorite. However, cost of Dino park is high specially for kids. BBQ site is worthy for kids.

It was a fun place for kids and adults. You have to book tickets in advance though.

2nd largest museum with dinosaur fossils. Informative and interesting.

Come to here if you are a Dinosaurs fan. Won't regret! Very suitable for family road trip tour!
