The variety of dinosaurs and fossils will dazzle children, and the souvenir shops and restaurants are of good quality, making it worth spending at least half a day exploring.
Taking the bus to the Dinosaur Museum costs more than the face value of the ticket, but you need to queue up early and wait for all the pre-booked guests to board before you can stand on the waiting list.
