When it opened in January 2024, the museum immediately became one of Asia's largest natural-science institutions. Occupying 7.31 hectares in Baoding's Lianchi district, it houses five themed galleries – Earth Pulse, Ancient Oceans, Dinosaur Empire, Mammal Evolution, and Extinction Crisis – along with two large temporary exhibition halls.
It offers immersive experiences through AR and VR technologies, so that visitors can interact with prehistoric creatures. Popular educational programs like "Night at the Museum" and "Dinosaur Night Watch" engage children with hands-on activities and fossil restoration workshops.
