A real gem. A modern, fun and informative museum of natural history. Unmissable. Get there early if you can to avoid the crowds.

This park is interesting place to visit with your family. There are many dinosaurs in the jungle that you can see with your children. Wassalam.

I -love- this park and museum! All of the signs are in both English and Japanese, so I really felt like I was learning something. Every other museum I've been to, including the National Gallery in Ueno, Tokyo, was only in Japanese-- it's not their fault, but going through those museums really felt like a waste of time. Not here! The architecture is really unique, and the range of specimens is top-notch. Seeing the fossil prep room was a unique, cool experience. Two warnings for visitors: the restaurant is over-priced and underwhelming; best avoid it, really. Also, the museum is slowly undergoing renovation, which is to be finished in 2023. It wasn't too bad when I went, in April 2021, but your experience may be different because of this construction.
