Kunming Zoology Museum, 32 Jiaochang East Road, Wuhua District (in the north of Kunming between the first and second ring roads, approximately 600 m directly west of the Carrefour supermarket at the intersection of Longquan Road and Baiyun Road; bus routes 92, 115, 139, and 146 run close to the museum (92 and 146 are best as they stop outside the main entrance); or take routes 9, 10, 55, 59, 74, 84, 96, 129, 175 or z63 to the Xiaocaiyuan bus stop just south of Carrefour and walk from there), Tu-Su 09:00-17:00. Anybody interested in Yunnan's animals through the ages could spend a couple of hours here. The museum is adjacent to and indeed shares a compound with, a university science campus. The exhibits are arranged on five floors starting with dinosaurs, fossils, and skeletons on the ground floor and working up to a tropical rainforest replica on the uppermost floor. There are sections with preserved fish and amphibians, stuffed animals, and preserved insects. The exhibits seem to concentrate on creatures that are, or were, to be found in Yunnan. Most exhibits are labeled in English and Chinese but the longer explanations and information boards are generally Chinese only. Overall it is a pleasant, clean, museum with the exhibits well presented and usually well-lit. It is not really an interactive museum; there is plenty to point at and peer at but not much to do. There is a small table offering mementos for sale but otherwise no shop. Nor is there any onsite catering.
