The first glance can deceive you. - It is a structure that, at first glance, looks merely modernist—nothing more. But when you venture into its depths, you discover something truly impressive and remarkably well-built. We rode a roller coaster inside, and it was anything but smooth; I wouldn't recommend it for those with sensitive stomachs or a tendency toward motion sickness. For me, it was a terrible, jarring experience—though everything else was fantastic.

A Myst Do Experience - Absolutely worth every penny, so much to see and unsurprisingly so well organised. Excellent value for money, the buffet was absolutely amazing so much choice especially if you like seafood, including wonderful sweet lobster and massive choice of fruit juices and unlimited beer. This is an experience not to be missed, you will be overwhelmed by the size of the tower and the interior. There even a very scary ride and a glass walkway. 5 stars but for me everything about Shanghai is 5 stars

Three Balls Experience - We had a great experience booking the three balls tour! We got exactly what was described. We toured the Oriental Pearl Tower at our leisure, all the way up to the third ball. Recommend!

Visit with 3 children. Thinking they weren't gonna like it, and they came out looking mad. Both with dinner and the tower. Both things a - Awesome. An amazing experience. We arrived by day. There were quite a few people but as soon as it got dark and you could see the Bund lights it was amazing. To enter the restaurant quite queue pq if you want to sit near the window is impossible. Still amazing. Spectacular food. And then you go downstairs as you walk out into the room with the transparent floor and it's shocking. We loved it. Good. Overall China has been a very very good discovery. To repeat.

Iconic tower. - I couldn’t leave Shanghai without visiting Oriental Pearl Tower. It’s very kitchy inside, and hot/crowded at the time I visited. Honestly I preferred the viewing experience from Shanghai Tower, which offers an overview of OPT - and is more interesting when viewed from outside. A little dated now, but that gives it a special charm.

Pearl tower & Travel China Guide - Incredible experience from purchasing on-line tickets with Travel China Guide (days before flying to Shanghai & their efficient response gave much comfort in the company’s credibility especially for foreign visitors like myself 👍🏻) to getting up in the Pearl tower. It was amazing view and we stayed there at the observatory deck for more than two hours appreciating the view from evening to sunset and till night.

Total waste of money - Looks amazing from downstairs. Its organised very badly. Ultra crowded lift with no aircon. Had to ask for host to translate to English. Dirty, smelly, crowded. Top ball has a tiny window only and mainly some cartoon caracters and shop. Wish I could get a full refubd as this was not worth the price !!!!!
