Bringing a 7-year-old kid to Osaka, this place is a must-visit! | Osaka Municipal Science Museum~

The science museum is located in Nakanoshima in the center of Osaka city. It is very convenient to get here by subway, consisting of an exhibition hall and a planetarium. The exhibition hall mainly displays pictures and instruments, with strong practical operation and interactivity; the planetarium is a dome theater, with lectures held irregularly. You can see that although some of the interactive items in the exhibition hall are a bit old, they do not affect their use at all. We arrived just before 10 am and saw staff checking the condition and functionality of each device. The main area is the exhibition hall, from the 1st to the 4th floor. After buying tickets on the basement floor, take the elevator straight to the fourth floor, and then visit each floor in descending order. The fourth floor mainly focuses on knowledge about the universe and the solar system; The third floor is about the materials of objects in nature; The second and first floors have practical interactive experiments, which children prefer. Currently, the planetarium has image explanations about the universe, the solar system, and Saturn. 🌹Visiting Tips: 1⃣️It is recommended to allocate about 3 hours to explore this place. 2⃣️There are no restaurants nearby, but there is a cafe inside the museum with simple meals. 3⃣️Many scientific lectures in the planetarium are in Japanese without translators, so it is not recommended for those who do not understand the language to buy tickets, as it can be quite confusing. 4⃣️The Osaka Municipal Science Museum is next to the Osaka National Museum of Art, so those interested in art can plan to visit both at the same time. ⏰Opening hours: 9:30-17:00, last admission at 16:30; closed on Mondays. 🎫Ticket prices: Free for elementary and middle school students, 500 yen for adults Planetarium, 600 yen for adults, 300 yen for elementary and middle school students and below.
