A great place especially if you love dinosaurs. Very well maintained, neat and foreigner-friendly with a very helpful staff. A lot of species were titled with their biological names in English and not the common name. Ticket is only 30 RMB and you can find English audio guide for 20 RMB (with a 200 RMB deposit or passport / ID deposit for foreigner). There are free lockers as well but they seem to be insufficient (you can find vacant lockers if you arrive early). Almost everything is written in both Chinese and English so there's no problem in visiting without a local friend. There are also a few stores within the museum. The one in B2 felt unnecessarily expensive. There are restaurants, Ice cream bars and kiosks for drinks everywhere within the place. If you have a curious mind, you'll need almost the whole day to enjoy everything. Wechat & Alipay works everywhere here.

A very well organized very informative place for those who love nature. There are three floors of wide halls full of displays. Huge collection of life-size models and skeletons, real preserved animals of all kinds (mammals, reptiles, birds, fish), fossiles, plants, shells, also displays of living animals (insects, reptiles and amphibians).... all what you can imagine (see the videos and pictures) The museum not just include animals, but also a hall dedicated for minerals, and a hall dedicated to the universe and space. There are also two gift shops where you can buy a lot of stuff for all ages. The place will be very crowded during school holidays (August) so it is better to purchase tickets in advance. Final verdict: MUST VISIT while you are in Shanghai

A amiga, o amigo que visitarem este museu, não se esqueçam de olharem para cima. Estive aí em agosto de 2019, época de férias escolares, corredores cheios. Segui a sequência cronológica das exposições, quer dizer, vi as coisas na ordem em que aconteceram no nosso planeta. Não me lembro dos detalhes da minha exploração. Passei pelo bando dos dinossauros robôs, tropecei nos pés dos outros, enveredei por um corredor que dava na exposição de fósseis de dinossauros, senti uma fisgada na pálpebra, olhei para cima e me deparei com uma ossada completa de Pterodáctilo, suspensa do teto por cabos. Só essa visão valeu pela visita inteira; nem o cinema ou os vídeos do tutube, nem os livros ilustrados de História Natural, nada nos prepara para o pasmo de ficar embaixo de um esqueleto daquele tamanho. Aliás, escrevi esqueleto, quero mesmo dizer bicho — nada prepara o nosso espírito para o assombro de ficar embaixo de um bicho daqueles. Havia bem mais a observar, muito do que vi com pressa porque eu chegara tarde e não queria ser o último a sair; planejava vir novamente outro dia, com algum colega da faculdade de chinês, contudo acabei não voltando. Em fins de dezembro, o meu roommate visitou o museu sem me avisar. — Se tivesses me dito que irias, eu te acompanhava. — É que esse tipo de coisa é melhor fazer sozinho, sem ninguém pra nos distrair, pra darmos conta de ver tudo, ele se justificou. — Viste o esqueleto de Pterodáctilo? — Tinha um desses lá? — Tinha, mas precisava olhar pra cima. Em uma das paredes do museu há um monitor com dados estatísticos sobre a população humana, uma linha para nascimentos, uma para mortes, uma para o número total de criaturas pipocando por aí. São algarismos de dar medo. Naquele dia, ao sair, ainda me sentei um tempo num degrau à frente do prédio do museu, sob os pergolados, só para admirar a beleza da construção. Vim embora porque um moleque entediado achou divertido tacar pedras nas minhas costas; ia me ofender; considerei parte da experiência. Espero ter a chance de retornar aqui.

This is one of the most spectacular museum in Shanghai where the exhibits are housed within a 5 storey building. The entry fee is RMB 30 for adults and there are special rates for children and senior citizens. Children under 1.3m are free to enter the museum without charges. This museum is disabled and children friendly. There are ramps and elevators which fit such purpose. This museum is huge and it is best to allocate at least half a day to enjoy the exhibits. There are two restaurants and a cafe in the museum, level 2, B1 and B2M respectively. The foods served here are of moderate taste. Anyway, a good museum for the young and old.

5 levels of information starting from the big bang theory all the way to the present. Good educational information but beware as it’s quite noisy with school excursions held throughout the day. 4D theatre viewings are optional at 30 yuan per head per show. Entry fees to the musuem are 30 yuan for adults and 12 yuan for children below 1.3m. Place is closed on Mondays. There’s a big garden surrounding the musuem for photo ops. Good place to pass half a day or more if one is thinking of where and what to do with school going kids. Getting here is easy, either take a taxi which is very common and aplenty or take the “line 13” subway.

This museum has more content stuffed into a space than I have ever seen, and that's NOT an issue. Not only do they have lots and lots of dinosaur bones and recreations, but they even have one that moves! Adults cost $5 US, children under 6 are free, and $4 US for others. Whether you want too spend an hour, or make a day of it and eat at the on-site restaurant, you should feel as though you got your money's worth. Finding a cab afterwards was a little tricky, tho, so plan ahead with an app or something.
