    We did get as close as the Fukui Shinkansen Station and fully agree that even that is both dinosaur centric and worth the visit. Our train pulled right up to a platform display of a pair of dinosaurs hovering over a nest of dinosaur eggs with their necks arched to form a heart. It was fun to watch a kid Leo's age walk up and become fully engaged. Even got some photos and a video as we pulled away. There have been dinosaur finds here in Alaska but yet to have a dedicated museum.
    Thanks so much for sharing your visit to Fukui's Dinosaur Museum. In March time limitations kept us from getting all the way to the museum so really appreciated your making the effort to let us see what we can look forward to on a return trip to Japan.

    Nice! Quite similar to the Royal Tyrell Museum of Paleontology near Drumheller, Alberta, Canada. The Badlands are nearby, still actively explored for new fossils and many found fossils are displayed at the museum. Good to check out if you visit Canada.Lots to see and do besides the dinosaurs.😊

    Some of my best memories when I was a kid are from when I went to the Chicago museums: Science and Industry, Field Museum of Natural History (had the dinos), Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium and the Art Institute. My parents used to take us a couple times a year, plus my grade schools took field trips. These places were magical to me as a youth and were instrumental in my goals as an adult. Perhaps Leo could one day be a museum director or archeologist. What a great thing that would be.

      It’s an easy day trip from Fukui city. Bus from Katsuyama Station is frequent or a few km hike through town. With the new Shinkansen extension to
      Fukui it’s a possible day trip!

    Aloha John. Aiyah! Missed this but caught the replay. This is a very cool looking museum that I would love to see up close. How much was the admission price and would've loved to see what that dino coffee is all about. Maybe they have dino donuts that look like a dinosaur egg or something. Lol. Mahalo for showing this to us my brother.

    • @dalejay7843
      @dalejay7843 5 місяців тому +1

      Agree Michael. I think John mentioned something like 1000 yen admission for adults and kids under 6 free. What a deal! Sure beats the $30 + dollars to get to see a dinosaur at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu. (FWIW I do have both a Dinosaur egg from a Jurassic Park movie and a real one at my office which you are welcome to view if you make here to Alaska. :)

      @@dalejay7843 Crazy. I just learned that every continent has dinosaur fossils but Hawaii has none. Reason is that Hawaii is only 6 million years old and the Dinosaurs died out 66 million years ago. Of course that isn't quite correct though since I did see a dinosaur skeleton at Honolulu's Bishop Museum. :)
