Great Excitement with Moving Tyrannosaurus and Impressive Full Dinosaur Skeletons
About this spot
A world-class dinosaur museum located in Katsuyama, a major site for dinosaur fossil discoveries. The soaring exhibition hall showcases dozens of complete dinosaur skeletons lined up impressively, with a realistically moving Tyrannosaurus robot being the most popular attraction for children. It's unique to this museum to encounter locally-discovered dinosaurs like Fukuiraptor and Fukuisaurus. There's also a corner where you can watch fossil cleaning work up close—whether you're a dinosaur enthusiast or an adult, you'll lose track of time enjoying this museum.
