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.
The Kansai & Hokuriku Area Pass allows you to use the Shinkansen and other JR trains; the Fukui Area Pass allows you to use local railways, visit the Dinosaur Museum, and ride the cable car at Katsuyama Ski Resort in the Fukui area. Overall, it can save you a considerable amount of money!
