What other travelers are saying about Osaka Science Museum
Science Museum that has everything explains and demonstrates, very easy to understand. They have a wide range of science as well, from the very basic knowledge to the very advanced one, but rest assured, everything was demonstraded in a very easy to understand manner. There are a lot of children (of course!), and might get a bit noisy, but that is just how children are. This place just shows that science is not boring. Highly recommend bringing your kids here. Very good experience, worth all the money.
Interactive large science museum. Some of the exhibit not only actively involved by your vision, but also your hearing, smell, and touch. Very interesting for kids also. They have around three levels and to enjoy all of the exhibit you have to allocate around three hours. Recommended to buy in advance for the planetarium.
It can get pretty noisy here with all the kids 🤣 but the atmosphere is nice and lively, I guess. If you're a science person, then this place is definitely one I'd recommend you visit. The building is huge, and each floor has interactive exhibits and plenty of information. I didn't get the chance to visit the planetarium part, but I imagine it's pretty cool too!
I love how inexpensive it is (400 yen for adults, 350 yen for high school students, free for middle school and under.) The planetarium has a separate fee, but it's worth the price. The planetarium that we watched was difficult for our elementary and middle school kids (English and Japanese bilingual) to understand in Japanese, and I wished they used easier terms for little kids or something. Overall, it was good and the kids loved the experience.
The exhibitions were all good and educational. We spent a good few hours there.
A fantastic museum for anyone with a love of science. Children would enjoy this a lot — very interactive, well spaced out. There is not a lot in English so bring your phone to Google Translate everything.
