I don’t know why some people gave this such a low rating? We had a great time with the dinner buffet. Did a little research for the dinner buffet. Arrived at the tower at 17:30, had a little bit under an hour to explore the two levels in the first sphere before sun down. Lined up at 18:30 for the buffet dinner. Hey, the seating area revolves around, which is pretty cool. The food is decent. Lots of choices. It’s like most buffet places, you get lots of choices. After dinner, you go down to the first sphere and you can explore if you want to do the two activities at the 90 meter area. If not, head down the last glass elevator and out. Fun 3.5 hours of my life. Go down a little early after dinner if you want to explore the first sphere as the tower closes at 9. A few shops on the ground level. It’s fun, even though I am a little afraid of heights, i managed to walk a little on the glas floor before my knees shaked a little too much. Time well spent.

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.

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

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 !!!!!

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.

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.
