I want to go back for the second time! Apart from rich materials, the museum is so clean and well-maintained.

Have fun while learning about the rich history of Chinatown, it’s people and it’s culture. You don’t need to travel far to be inspired and educated about historical Chinatown. Located conveniently inside the Lucky Chinatown Mall. Where you can go malling after or before going to the museum. Food won’t be a problem either just choose from the wide selection of restaurants too.

Our visit to the Chinatown Museum was a blast! Got to dive into the awesome history of Binondo, from the first Chinese settlers to the bustling trade scenes. The exhibits were a mix of cool artifacts and old pics, making it super interesting. It's like Binondo's story in a nutshell – Chinese traditions blending with Filipino vibes. Definitely a must-visit if you're into history and want to soak up the vibe of this vibrant neighborhood! Big shoutout to Joyce for being our guide at the Chinatown Museum! She made the whole experience extra awesome, dropping knowledge bombs and keeping it fun. Her enthusiasm and insights added a special touch to our visit, making the history of Binondo come alive. Kudos, Joyce – you rock! 🌟

Chanced upon this place on Jan 30, 2022, few days before the Chinese New Year, and I'm glad I did. For only Php150 per head, you will get to see several of their exhibits which are quite detailed and educational. I'm the type who enjoys museums as I make it a point to read almost everything inside. That said, I think I spent an hour and a half inside this place.

Small entrance fee. There was no guide when we walked in on a Sunday noon but it was alright because the exhibit has comprehensive captions. Displays provide a view of Binodo’s evolution.

A very comprehensive way to learn about the Chinese heritage and culture in the Philippines. This museum is well-kept, clean and organized. I highly recommend a visit to this place.

very educational... the museum guides are very friendly and helpful. they will take your pictures into the next level - they are amazing on taking your best photos. must visit...

Highly recommended activity in Manila! Its a small museum but please do get the guided tour. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about the Filipino-Chinese culture and beginnings. He made our visit interactive where we were able to use/feel some of the items in the museum under his supervision. Saw a lot of cool artifacts. He also took amazing photos! Mabuhay ka kuya! We visited the museum at around 1pm on a Sunday and were the only ones there. We did not have to wait in line. We paid 150pesos each.

Visited the museum on a Wednesday morning with a group as a field trip. As students, Php100 was the entrance fee, but for adults entrance fee is at Php150. Tour guide was friendly and detailed throughout the entire visit, and explained the history and culture of Binondo in detail. Spent 2 hours in total.

Excellent experience. I don’t know why it is not more advertised. The place shares interesting highlights of Binondo’s history as one of the oldest Chinatowns in the world. It is located on the 4 floor of Lucky Chinatown Mall. The entrance fee is 150 PHP (regular), 120 PHP (senior) and 100 PHP (student). It is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10 am to 6pm.

The Chinatown Museum is found at the topmost floor of the Chinatown Hotel Bldg, at the right side of Lucky Chinatown Mall. It is accessible to wheelchair users as well. This interactive Museum tells about the rich history of Manila Chinatown, one of the oldest Chinatowns in the world. The exhibit are divided into various sections about the people, religion, food, crafstmanship, culture, vices, fire safety and even the birth of the Philippine Revolution in Chinatown. A must visit for those exploring Manila for the first time or for the nth time. Tickets are affordable and bought at the entrance. Add P50 if you and your kids want to have a mini notebook for collecting stamps in every sections of the museum, or you may being your travel journal with you as well.

Great for photo opps. Most of the items you can touch and use as props for photos

A place to learn abt the history and culture of Binondo. We went on a weekend and we were the only visitors at that time. The tour was pleasant - the displays were interesting and some areas are snap-worthy too. I particularly like the pharmacy where you can smell spices and herbs being used before.

Super nice place to learn about the history of Binondo. Very good visual material and also fun for photos. Recommend for all age groups.

I was so happy to see that there is a hidden treasure housed at the Lucky Chinatown in Binondo. So amazed on their Research about the history , the heritage pieces, the Chinese influences, shared to all of us. The content, the storytelling, defined their presence in our lifestyle, the Food , jewelry, textiles and many more. I am thrilled with this New discovery that I Love sharing to all mankind . Impressed!!!

It was worth it despite that it was not too big you learn more about Binondo during the Spanish time. I also like the location inside the Lucky Chinatown Mall. You must visit there when you go to Binondo.

It's a nice place to spend an hour or so, a colourful spot with very little foot traffic

The museum is a good place to know more about the history of Manila's Chinatown. The place is still nice and new. The place is quite small and prices seem a bit high for the place.

Located on the north wing of Lucky Chinatown Mall in Binondo, the World's oldest Chinatown. This museum's educational exhibits will take you back in time with well captured replicated scenes from the American occupation to World War II and beyond.

We enjoyed the train ride inside the mall, ate at the S&R restaurant, window shopping 🛍️,

not rich in museum matters

I guess we expected a lot because we find that it's not worth the entrance fee. The museum is not big and only has limited area for viewing.

I Love the place its a educational tour, i recommend this to filipino schools.

the museum is very nice and very good curated. I enjoyed learning about the chinese community in Manila. A must to anyone visiting Manila!

A museum that showcases the heritage of Binondo, one of the world's oldest Chinatowns. Located inside Lucky Chinatown Mall, it also serves as a community space for educational events and webinars.

It's like going back through time! We learned a lot about Binondo's history. Very instagrammable!

Nice I didn’t know this place existed

I really like this place! This raminds me of the chocolate meusem in davao, really realistic food, and i like the painting aile! Really love it would go again~~

Nice place and very accommodating staff

(Translated by Google) A museum in a shopping mall that is a little confusing. I happened to visit on the opening day. The admission fee P150 is a little higher than in Japan, and although the area is not large, there are some exhibits. The display method is also refined to the advanced country level, such as diorama reproduction, and is beautiful. Recommended for those interested in Chinatown. Lastly, the Post Museum corner, which has been closed since the fire, is also valuable for stamp fans. (Original) ショッピングモール内のちょっとわかりにくいところにある博物館です。たまたまオープン当日に見学しました。入場料P150は日本並みで少し高めですし、面積も広いとは言えないものの、展示物はそれなりにあります。展示方法もジオラマ的な再現など、先進国レベルに洗練されていてきれいです。中華街に興味がある方にはお勧めです。最後にある、火災以来閉館中というPostal Museumのコーナーも切手ファンには価値があります。

(Translated by Google) The museum is beautiful. We brought the kids. And they really enjoyed it because they learned a lot about Binondo. (Original) Maganda ang museum. Dala po namin ang mga bata. At sobrang enjoy nila kase marami silang natutunan tungkol sa Binondo.

(Translated by Google) Nice! Worth the experience especially after the Binondo food tour! (Original) Ang ganda! Worth it yung experience lalo na pagkatapos ng Binondo food tour!

The place is nice. The galleries and display are well-thought of. The guards and guides even helped us take our pictures.

Enjoyed visiting the place, knowing the history of Chinatown..

Educates people about the origins of the Chinatown and the Tsinoys. 👍👍👍

A good place to learn about iconic and historical places around Binondo in the old days.

Chinatown museum is great for students and adults alike. My kids had fun stamping on the museum passport. We really enjoyed the tranvia!

One underrated Musuems in Manila you should include in your itinerary. If you are into history and learning more of the culture of the place, a visit at Chinatown Museum is a must. Entrance Fee is at Php150 only.

this place will give you knowledge and experience to explore chinatown history, from food, transportation, and their kalakaran way back in the old time 😊 it is located in lucky chinatown mall 4 floor Annex A.

Happy to have been here (twice already). As someone who grew up and still lives in Downtown Manila, going here is such a treat. I love how they made the museum interactive and also instagrammable. Maybe they just need to add more interesting pieces and also expand it even more. I thought it was a bit "bitin." But, still, I would highly recommend this museum. Truly, if Makati is what the PH aspires to be, Chinatown shows us what it used to be.

Awesome place, and to think that it's located inside a mall (Lucky Chinatown)

Modern and partly interactive presentation of the essential aspects of Chinatown. One of the most impressive museums in Manila. It is a gem within the rubble of a terrible mall and in a filthy surrounding. It hurts to see how beautiful Manila was in the past as compared to today.

Having fun, great overall
