Mokpo Natural History Museum — Attraction in Mokpo-si

This museum has some of the most interesting fossil finds, geological and seashell collections I've ever seen... and most are from the local area! The dinosaur exhibit was spectacular and even showed a video on the history of dinosaurs on the wall of the round room which almost looked 3D. The insects, flowers and fauna section were like walking in an art museum, very beautifully displayed and so much to see. It's just the right size to spend a couple hours with the family while in the gorgeous town of Mokpo. An amazing lady who recognized we didn't speak Korean or read Hangul approached us and walked us to thru the entire museum like a personal tour guide and gave the history on where fossils, gems, meteorites were found in Mokpo and even what plants they like to use for tea, food or medicine and it didn't cost a dime. They even have a 4D Dino theater that plays just about every hour! For a family of 5 it only cost us 12,000 WON to get in and the 4D theater costs 2,000 per person. Take your time here, you won't regret this...

We loved it. And spent a lot of time there. There's 3 parts to explore. Kids will be most interested in the animal/ dinosaur exhibits. But there are 2 other entrances: 1) history of money and and art ( which was beautiful), and 2) traditional Korean pottery. The detail and quality is pretty impressive. My son is already asking to go back for another visit. We enjoyed the gardens surrounding the museum too. There's all the facilities you'll need. Right accross the street is the marine museum.
