What other travelers are saying about Kobe Anpanman Children's Museum & Mall
This is first time to visiting this children's paradise. Although the weather is quite cold and it is close to the seaside which can enjoy the beautiful harbor together with the vast blue sky. There are also so many unique and cute cartoon characters and exquisite products. It is also one of the must-visit attractions for cartoon fans.
Perfect for children. The museum is more like an indoor playground, with many activities and play areas for children to enjoy. My child loved exploring and playing with the interactive areas.
There is not much for an adult to do. I just watched my child play and took many pictures. Some play-sets are small so it's hard for an adult to come inside and play with the child. I don't think the ticket price is worth it for an adult, but the ticket price for a child is worth it because the children have so much fun. I brought a book and read while my child was busy having fun. There are many seats to sit on while the children enjoy themselves.
The staff was kind and happy. The musical show was very enjoyable, but I recommend getting to the stage area early because seats fill up fast. We arrived thirty minutes before the showtime and sat near the back. There is standing room behind the seats, but you will have to carry a small child to they can see over the other people.
I took my family here after growing up as a child with Anpanman. It brought back a lot of nostalgia and was an amazing time for my children. It was super crowded though so prepare for that, BUT the staff and overall experience were top notch!
We went to Anpanman by chance in the afternoon after 2pm. No queue and bought tickets to enter. My kids are not familiar with the characters but they enjoyed everything including my 7 yr old. However, most of the things are geared towards younger children. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The Apanman show was very full, and staff helped get the kids to a spot where they can see. My son loved the train ride that's included in the ticket. You can go out and re-enter the museum.
