Mokpo Natural History Museum

It is a small museum but we like it

We loved it. And spent a lot of time there. There's 3 parts to explore. Kids will be most interested in the animal/ dinosaur exhibits. But there are 2 other entrances: 1) history of money and and art ( which was beautiful), and 2) traditional Korean pottery. The detail and quality is pretty impressive. My son is already asking to go back for another visit. We enjoyed the gardens surrounding the museum too. There's all the facilities you'll need. Right accross the street is the marine museum. With access to a seaside walkway.

This museum has some of the most interesting fossil finds, geological and seashell collections I've ever seen... and most are from the local area! The dinosaur exhibit was spectacular and even showed a video on the history of dinosaurs on the wall of the round room which almost looked 3D. The insects, flowers and fauna section were like walking in an art museum, very beautifully displayed and so much to see. It's just the right size to spend a couple hours with the family while in the gorgeous town of Mokpo. An amazing lady who recognized we didn't speak Korean or read Hangul approached us and walked us to thru the entire museum like a personal tour guide and gave the history on where fossils, gems, meteorites were found in Mokpo and even what plants they like to use for tea, food or medicine and it didn't cost a dime. They even have a 4D Dino theater that plays just about every hour! For a family of 5 it only cost us 12,000 WON to get in and the 4D theater costs 2,000 per person. Take your time here, you won't regret this amazing experience.

family friendly vibes all around. access ticket to all types of museum in one complex. money worth spend.

What a fantastic museum! It’s NOT just for kids. Adults will love the beautifully displayed relics and the breadth of the collection which encompasses a great deal of Korean culture. This should definitely be a Must See in Mokpo!

Amazing place to see so many fossil. Kids can enjoy watching different fossil.

A dinosaur egg nest is located in Mokpo
Because it was discovered Aphaedo island in sinan

Aphaedo was the center of maritime activity during the Baekje period and it was the Sambyulcho's excuse for the Great Dream Uprising

This fossil is the largest and best dinosaur egg fossil found in Korea so It was designated as a natural monument for the first time as an individual fossil due to its high irradiation value in the late Cretaceous period

Mokpo museum of Natural History is closed on every Mondays the others day business hours 9AM~6PM and the entrance fee is 3000 won for adults 2000 won for teenager

This place has good parking facilities so I recommend you to drive your own car
I recommend this place because there are many things to see and they facilities are clean

Good place to go with our childs. Very informative and a good asset of Mokpo city.

Really cheap 3000 wons per person, and it's sooo great. Many skeletons, and diversity of really unbelievable and unknown things from another era. Whatver your age you will surely enjoy. Kids first

Good place for small rest!

The Museum of Natural History is located inside Gatbawi Neighborhood Park in Yongha-dong, the largest tourist attraction in the southwestern coastal region, and consists of a natural and a literary and artistic museum. There are dinosaurs and animal models outside, so it is a good place to play with children.

Great natural history...some explanation in English. All aspects of nature from butterflies, trees, insects, animals...great for the entire family! It's a reminder of the great world that we live in with a Master Designer!

Nice education place for kids.

kids will love this place

Great museum, very good mineral examples.

Their dinosaur exhibits were unexpectedly sophisticated.

Good thing to do on a free day

good!

Amazing please 😍😍😍

자연사 박물관 특유의 고생물 화석이 전시되어 있어 보는 재미가 있습니다. 특별 전시로 같이 본 자개에 관한 걸 큐레이터 분에게 설명 듣는 재미도 있었습니다. 다음번에 다른 특별 전시가 있으면 다시 방문해볼 생각입니다.
