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.

Average - Insanely long and slow moving queues and frankly not worth the wait. The views from the observation points were quite good but behind glass which was smudged and quite dirty so not so good for photos. There were also very long queues in order to leave the tower.

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 !!!!!
