Not great!
Not a great experience; everything is designed to make the visitor spend money, you have to wait in line to take the elevator and go up, so far so good, then to go down it is a nightmare!!! An enormous line, the elevator does not go all the way down, it stops at several floors to make the tourist spend money, and to go back down each time you have to wait in line again and take at least 3 elevators to arrive at the ground floor, a horrible organization, an experience that costs a lot of money! Then you finish your visit in front of a shopping arcade and there is a shop that sells or shows insects and reptiles. A squirrel is locked in a cage at the entrance of the shop; it has no fur left on its tail because it is so miserable, its coat is damaged, it is sad to see 399rmb per person for the highest floor 199rmb for the second floor

Review: Oriental Pearl Tower Tickets – Shanghai’s Must-See Attraction
Visiting the Oriental Pearl Tower was one of the highlights of our time in Shanghai! This iconic TV tower—one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks—offers stunning panoramic views from its multiple observation decks and is truly worth the visit if you’re exploring the city’s skyline. The ticket was easy to use: we simply scanned the QR code at the entrance and headed straight in. Once inside, the experience unfolds beautifully. The higher observation platforms offer sweeping views across the Huangpu River, The Bund, and the surrounding modern skyscrapers—perfect for photos both during the day and at sunset One standout feature was the transparent glass skywalk at one of the upper viewing levels. Walking over the city with such a bird’s-eye view was thrilling and gave the visit an extra wow-factor Overall, if you’re interested in iconic city views, a memorable sightseeing experience, and a chance to see Shanghai from above, this ticket is a great value and a must-do attraction on your trip!

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Shanghai Oriental Pearl Tower Observation Deck Admission Ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Shanghai.
How much does Shanghai Oriental Pearl Tower Observation Deck Admission Ticket cost?
+
Prices start at $29 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Shanghai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Shanghai Oriental Pearl Tower Observation Deck Admission Ticket take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Shanghai is not rushed.
Is Shanghai Oriental Pearl Tower Observation Deck Admission Ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Shanghai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Shanghai Oriental Pearl Tower Observation Deck Admission Ticket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Shanghai Oriental Pearl Tower Observation Deck Admission Ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Shanghai Oriental Pearl Tower Observation Deck Admission Ticket?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Shanghai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Shanghai and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Shanghai Oriental Pearl Tower Observation Deck Admission Ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Shanghai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Shanghai?
+
On Outty we rank every Shanghai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Shanghai Full Day City Tour with Old and New Highlights, Suzhou Private Day Trip from Shanghai with Bullet Train Option, 4-Hour Flexible Private Shanghai City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Shanghai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Shanghai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
