Free Child-Friendly Activities in Changchun | Jilin Province Natural Museum

Changchun is not just about the Puppet Manchurian Palace; the queues during holidays can be quite exaggerated. Consider the less crowded Natural Museum for a family trip. 🔍The museum offers a unique visiting experience. Babies can take the accessible elevator, while walking children should try the artificial hill on the left side of the entrance, starting an immersive nature exploration right from the gate. 👶Our 3-year-old insisted on climbing the stairs instead of taking the elevator and wasn't tired at all after the whole tour. Just follow the little footprints on the floor without missing or repeating anything, and you'll end up on the first floor. 🔍There are 7 exhibition areas in total. The Butterfly Valley and the Spirit of Birds might not be very interesting for preschoolers, but the highlight is the Fossil World, which is where the giant dinosaur skeletons are located, including unique fossils from Shandong and restored animatronic dinosaur models. 👶What the children find most interesting are the 3D films, watched while sitting inside a dinosaur egg, imagining various scenarios of dinosaur extinction. 🔍The other animal exhibits mainly consist of specimens and simulated scenes. The museum has 100,000 items in its collection, primarily showcasing the animals and natural resources of Jilin Province, and you can even see a Siberian tiger. 👶Basically, without any explanation, even young children can understand what's happening just by looking through the glass, which is very child-friendly.
