Zigong Dinosaur Museum is the only dinosaur fossil burial site museum in my country. It is located at the Dashanpu dinosaur fossil excavation site in the northeastern suburb of Zigong City, about 11 kilometers away from the central area of Zigong City. It is another large-scale on-site museum in my country after the Banpo Site and the Qin Shihuang Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit. It consists of three parts: the museum building, the green area and the ancillary buildings.

Since the museum was built on the original site of the excavation, these skeletons are real. Some relatively complete skeletons have been reassembled into models, and those that are too scattered and incomplete have been kept in their original state. But why there are so many dinosaur fossils concentrated in this area has not yet been determined. There is an information card under each skeleton fossil model, and you can listen to the explanation directly by scanning the QR code. The scene of the law of the jungle is restored vividly.
A famous scenic spot in Zigong, located in Dashanpu. Here you can see precious dinosaur fossils and learn about dinosaurs. The tour time is no less than two hours.
The grand Chishui trip finally came to an end. On the way back to Chengdu, we passed Zigong. Zigong is also famous for Alsophila spinulosa, salt mines and dinosaurs. For most people, the most expressive thing is still the dinosaurs. As we all know, dinosaurs mainly lived in the Jurassic system, and the Zigong outcrop includes the Ziliujing Formation strata. It seems that the corresponding geological age is the era when dinosaurs were rampant in the world.
The location of the Dinosaur Museum is now called Dashanpu. The relatively small dinosaur Linglong here once reached 1.8 meters in length. After reading the introduction, I learned that dinosaurs were divided into "Ornithischia" and "Saurischia". Does this also represent the two directions of dinosaur evolution? Did the dinosaurs become extinct, or did they evolve into other species? Mamenchisaurus, which I saw in Anyue Yuanjue Cave (see the travel notes "I strayed into the small place of Buddhist carvings during the Spring Festival to explore the great scenery" http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/7282196.html), turned out to be the name of a class. There are also fossils of Tianfu Emeisaurus, which is 20 meters long, and this dinosaur belongs to the Mamenchisauridae. Every time I stand in front of dinosaur fossils, I feel the insignificance of human beings.
The Dinosaur Museum is a great place for popular science for both adults and children. Fossils of turtles, mammals, fish and even insects that lived at the same time as dinosaurs are exhibited here. Of course, there are also ferns from the Early Cretaceous, which have a lot in common with the Alsophila spinulosa that we saw in Chishui the day before.
The ticket price for Zigong Dinosaur Museum is 40 yuan per person. There are not many tourists and there are bus routes passing by.
There are all kinds of dinosaur fossils and models, and you can also experience them firsthand.
The characteristics of Zigong, a childhood dream come true. But the children really couldn't understand it, so they simply looked at the dinosaur fossils. There was no explanation, and they couldn't understand it either. It is a must-visit check-in place. When the children grow up, you can come again for a science education tour.
Suitable for children to visit. The fossils are well preserved, but the scale of the display is small and the number is not large. The overall area of the museum is a little small, the popular science is not enough, and the entertainment is relatively weak! In general, it is still worth a visit, because there is only one in this place!
There are many dinosaur fossils in the Dinosaur Museum, so it is more educational to take children there.
When you come to Zigong, how can you not go to the Dinosaur Museum? I have known since I was a child that there is a Dinosaur Museum in Zigong. Today I was able to check in at the Dinosaur Museum, and finally fulfilled my wish.
A bit old. Suitable for bringing children, there are many mosquitoes, it is highly recommended to bring children to popularize science
Zigong is famous for its Dinosaur Museum, which houses real dinosaur fossils.
The ticket to the Dinosaur Museum is 40 yuan, and if you want to watch a 3D movie, the ticket is 80 yuan. You can buy it on the group buying website more than 2 hours in advance, which is 38 yuan, excluding the movie. Although it does not look big, it contains fossils of creatures hundreds of millions of years ago. More than ten complete dinosaur fossil skeletons are placed in the exhibition hall in different categories, ranging from 4 to 5 meters in length to 20 meters in length and 9 meters in height. You can only face the dinosaur skulls on the second floor. You can also visit the excavation site of that year and see the fossils and introductions of other creatures of the same period as the dinosaurs.
This place is suitable for people who are interested in natural sciences. We just watched for fun.
The museum on the site brings people a different visual impact, reality, cruelty, regret, and reflection...
China is a vast country with abundant resources. Dinosaurs have been discovered in many places, but Zigong does have its own characteristics in terms of area, number, scale and uniqueness.
The last stop of the self-driving tour in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan in August 2016, mainly to visit old friends and take the kids to see the giant dinosaurs.
There is still a traffic jam at the entrance, only 300 meters. The highway still won't let me out, so I had to go around in circles. It's really annoying. I'll comment after I go in and see...
I took my son to visit the Dinosaur Museum. The place is a bit small and old.
I have a civil servant interview the next day. I went to relax on a half-day tour in the afternoon. The ticket is 40 yuan. Dragon God bless you!
The dinosaur fossils found in Dashanpu, Zigong, are the largest ever found in the world. The museum built on the original site is also considered the best dinosaur museum in the world. It is well worth a visit.
There are many dinosaurs in Sichuan, and Zigong is a nest. The museum is very educational and suitable for children to expand their knowledge.
It's very suitable to take children to see and broaden their horizons.
One of the special attractions in Zigong, the existence of dinosaurs here may make you really believe in their existence, so magical, so incredible!
The second time I took my children there, I was still shocked by the number of dinosaur fossils. It made us feel that dinosaurs existed in the world. However, there was no explanation, so it was meaningless to see it. Later I learned that there were paid explanations. However, I followed a group of students to listen to some of the explanations and learned a lot. I will definitely come to this place again in the future because my son likes it.
It takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes to drive from Leshan to Zigong Dinosaur Museum. The museum is not big, so it is more suitable for children. Adults may find it a bit boring. There is a food street next to it, but the taste is average and the price is not good. It is recommended not to eat here. 3 hours is enough to visit the museum. Children can bask in the sun on the grass. The dinosaur fossils are still worth seeing.
The environmental simulation is super realistic, and there is also a tour guide to introduce it. This resource is well developed!
I came here once 5 years ago. Now there are more entertainment facilities. The 40 yuan ticket is very worthwhile. Be sure to ask for an explanation!
The museum content is OK, the layout is reasonable, and the potted aloe outside is very large.
The largest museum in southwest China, the world's largest dinosaur fossil burial site, you can bring your children to visit and learn
The scale is a little small, a little small, a little small
Whether in the minds of locals or people in surrounding cities, Zigong has only two famous attractions, the Lantern Festival and dinosaurs. The rest are memories of Zigong cuisine. If you haven't been to the Dinosaur Museum, you can go and see it. It is not recommended to visit it repeatedly.
Very shocking. I strongly recommend asking a guide for a personal tour. I am completely confused.
The school organized the trip. There was an English guide throughout the trip. Although the venue is not big, it is worth a visit.
The Zigong Dinosaur Museum is a museum built on the site of the Dashanpu dinosaur fossil group. It exhibits a wide variety of dinosaur fossils from the Jurassic period. Being in it is like going back to ancient times. It is suitable for visiting with children to increase knowledge. The museum is located next to the highway exit and is easy to find. There is also a restaurant inside for dining. The ticket price is not expensive. We went there during the Spring Festival. The adult price was 42, and the child price was half price. The management is also very standardized and worth visiting.
Zigong Dinosaur Museum is located in the northeast of Zigong City, Sichuan Province, 9 kilometers from the city center. Zigong Dinosaur Museum is a large-scale site museum built on the world-famous "Dashanpu Dinosaur Fossil Site". It is also the first specialized dinosaur museum in my country. It is one of the three largest dinosaur site museums in the world. The museum covers an area of more than 66,000 square meters. The fossil specimens in the museum almost cover all known dinosaur species in the Jurassic period 205-135 million years ago. It is currently the place in the world with the largest collection and display of Jurassic dinosaur fossils. It was rated as "the best dinosaur museum in the world" by the American "Global Geographic Magazine".

(Hotly recommended must-see attractions in Zigong)
A nice scenic spot with many people, suitable for the whole family to play. Tickets are 42 per person. The recreational facilities inside are charged separately.
Friends who like dinosaurs can go and see it, but the equipment is a bit old
This place is definitely not worth going to. There are only a few fossils in the 45 ticket, which is very small. Many projects are consumer experiences. Although it is suitable for children to get to know dinosaurs, it feels too simple and small.
44 yuan/person, there are many dinosaur exhibits. If you are interested, you can take a look~
One of the three wonders of Zigong, you must see it, and you need an explanation to understand its essence
The scale is smaller than expected, and there are fewer types of dragons. But it is very carefully made and very unique. Each dinosaur skeleton tells a story. Don't waste your money on the 4D theater. My 8-year-old child cried out that he was cheated.
There are all kinds of dinosaur fossils excavated from Zigong. Every time I go there, I feel like I’ve returned to the past.
You can see many kinds of dinosaur fossils here! Fortunately, I saw a very small dinosaur unique to China: Guizhousaurus
It's hard to imagine that there is a well-designed museum in such a small place. Entering the museum is like traveling back to the dinosaur era. A large number of ferns add a mysterious atmosphere to the museum. What impressed me most was the site where the fossils were excavated, which fully showed the original appearance of the fossils to tourists. The tour route designed by the museum also allows everyone to walk into the mysterious dinosaur cemetery! Overall, it is very good and suitable for adults and children to visit! Recommended!
After lunch, we visited the Zigong Dinosaur Museum. It is recommended for families with children to go there, as it is very educational.
The dinosaurs that lived 160 million years ago seemed very far away from us, yet very close to us.
In any case, these dinosaur fossils still buried in the soil are more shocking than any exhibits. One can even guess how these most prosperous and active reptiles were buried 160 million years ago. 160 million years, for me, is too far away; at this moment, it feels very close. Time is really amazing.
After passing Renshou, the road was smooth and we arrived at the Dinosaur Museum before 9:30. Ticket price: 42 yuan. Bao Gong had never been there and wanted to see the Tyrannosaurus Rex. As a result, the most powerful carnivorous dinosaur he saw was the "Heping Yongchuan Dragon". . . Half an hour later, Bao Gong continued his journey with resentment that he had not seen the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The ticket to Zigong's Dinosaur Museum is 40 yuan, but I personally think it is still worth a visit.
Although I was not a dinosaur fan when I was a child, I liked watching Jurassic Park. I didn’t know that many dinosaurs were discovered in Sichuan until I went there. There is a dinosaur pit inside, which is a bit like a smaller version of the Terracotta Warriors Pit.
Tickets are 42 yuan, and the explanation is 60 yuan. This is the first specialized dinosaur museum in my country. More than 80% of the collection is real fossil specimens, covering almost all known dinosaur species in the Jurassic period.
After buying the tickets, I couldn't wait to step into the real Jurassic era. This museum is a large-scale site museum built on the world-famous "Dashanpu Dinosaur Fossil Site", which is very authentic. In the end, I just want to say: "It's worth the trip!" "It's worth the trip!"
To be honest, I finally have a better understanding of dinosaurs! They really come in different sizes. Read quickly, they are so big!
On the second day of the first lunar month, there were many people visiting the museum, and it was inconvenient to take pictures inside the museum. When I raised my camera, I found that the viewfinder was full of people. It is a place worth visiting for friends who like dinosaurs, especially children, but it seems that some children feel very scared after entering the museum, haha.
It is a very suitable place for children to visit and learn. It can increase knowledge and have fun~~
It seems that history has been restored here. The dinosaurs here are really big, and some cameras can't fit them.
The Dinosaur Museum is a rip-off. I thought the 40-plus yuan ticket was cheap since it is such a famous attraction after all. But there is only one museum inside and the whole park is very small. If you are not giving your children scientific education, you'd better not go.
As soon as we walked in, we saw a lot of model dinosaurs, which occasionally turned their heads up and down and made "not scary" sounds. After entering the museum, we finally saw real dinosaur fossils. The skeletons of those dinosaurs were so tall, and some of the bones were also very large!
It is worthy of being the best dinosaur museum in the world. There are many lifelike dinosaur models inside. It is very large and the environment is good.
Very clean, the air is very good, maybe because it is in the suburbs, everything feels very comfortable after coming in! Or take bus No. 35, this is what I think Zigong is pretty good, 1 yuan directly to the Dinosaur Museum, the transportation is very bus-like!
I have always liked dinosaurs and I think they are very majestic here, especially the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Only here can you appreciate the hugeness of dinosaurs.
The tickets to the Dinosaur Museum are also relatively cheap, with a student ticket of 22 yuan. I thought I had found a bargain, it was so cheap, but it turned out that there was only a dinosaur mountain, a stele forest, and a fossil museum. I gained a lot in the fossil museum and learned a lot. I also carved a dinosaur, which was very interesting. But it cost five yuan to draw one.
My son wasn't very interested at first, maybe because he was too young. But the more he went in, the more fun it became.
The Dinosaur Museum is located in the suburbs. It was built on the original site. Fortunately, there is a direct bus to the museum for 1 yuan. It is fun inside.
The kids at home loved it and are planning to go there for the second time.
Very authentic, and the price is quite suitable...
There are all kinds of dinosaurs at the entrance of the museum, some of which can move and make sounds. The children are so excited. After going around the dinosaur mountain, you will enter the museum, which contains dinosaur fossils and related introductions. The dinosaur museum is very small and there are no other scenery. If you travel a long way to come here, it is really not cost-effective. We just came here on the way, which is equivalent to resting in the service area. We went out at about five o'clock.
In the mounting hall, there are several restored dinosaur skeletons and ancient vertebrate fossil specimens.
Among them, the "Tianfu Emei Dragon" is the most eye-catching giant in the hall.
The museum is located at the exit of the highway and we arrived there very quickly. We parked the car, bought tickets and went in. We visited Longshan Mountain, walked through the maze, watched the dynamic movie "Jurassic Park", and saw many precious dinosaur fossils in the indoor exhibition hall. The museum is the first professional dinosaur museum in China. It can be said to be world-class. Many celebrities have visited it. It is known as a unique Chinese wonder and a world wonder. The feeling after the visit was really worthwhile, especially the two brothers were very excited. It was rare for Brother Ding to cooperate so well in taking pictures. In the end, the two brothers each chose their favorite toys. Mother Ding bought another dinosaur book. Not only did they play but they also learned knowledge. This stop was the happiest stop for the two brothers on this trip.
