When you first arrive there, you walk directly into the gift shop, which is where you purchase the tickets. I don't know if this is just a special promotion or if it's a permanent thing but if you purchase $30.00 or more in the gift shop, you will get a $10.00 discount off of your ticket purchase. Mai and I decided to buy something but separately, our purchases would have been under $30.00 so we combined our purchases under one sale and was able to get the $10.00 ticket discount.
After you purchase your ticket, you go up the escalator and there is a wall with Teddy Bears around the World. It was difficult to get the full wall but I managed to take a picture of the section that featured Asia.
I don't know how many people saw the K-Drama, "Goong" aka "The Palace" but a portion of one of the episodes took place at a Teddy Bear Museum and I was expecting it to be similar. It was quite different because what I saw in the drama were showcases of teddy bears. At this museum, there were themed showcases and the themes were mechanical. There is a motion detecter eye so when you step into that area, the mechanization starts. It's like a little wonderland. There are different theme areas in the museum--8 Wonders of America, Dinosaur Park, Save the Planet, All About Teddy Bears and Hawaii in Hawaii. I thought that the most impressive portion was the Dinosaur Park. The dinosaurs roar and move as well as some of the teddy bears.
I thought that the cutest display was the panda bear display. Some of the pandas were dancing!
At the end of the museum tour, there is a mini show. I'll leave you with a short clip of that show.
I've uploaded the pictures that I took of our little trip here at this album. You're welcome to take a look.
I know that this isn't beauty or fashion related at all but I hope you enjoyed it. We had fun.

lol the pandas look so cute!! have you seen the real ones though :D? They look super chubby and cuddly!
i got a small bear from my bf yesterday - what a coincidence :)!
I actually haven't seen real ones in person, just on tv. The cutest ones are the baby pandas. There was a Japanese show in which a Japanese idol worked with baby pandas and it was sooo cute. It was at some panda reserve in China and I believe that these baby pandas were orphans.

Hi Kat...
Another weird coincidence - I have watched Goong as Yoon Eun Hye is my most fave Korean actress. Unlike so many - she's not had plastic surgery - she's 100% natural!! LOLz.
I love the pandas but you know teddies are just so cute anyway...
Cheers
