It wasn't too crowded on a weekday. Upon entering, you're greeted by a lively dinosaur. The main exhibition area has three floors, featuring various dinosaurs and dinosaur fossil models—a great place to learn about dinosaurs and take photos. There's also a dinosaur animation and 3D cinema with three different film sets, including scenes of downtown Fukui and the dinosaur museum at night—very interesting. There's a restaurant inside offering dinosaur-themed food at reasonable prices. The journey from Fukui to the museum by train and then bus takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
