Nagoya City Science Museum - A Journey of Scientific Exploration

🚍 Let's start with transportation. From Nagoya Station, you can take bus C-758 and get off at Hirokoji Fushimi after three stops. It's a 5-minute walk from there. For the return trip, you can take the subway from Fushimi Station, and you'll arrive back after one stop. If you happen to get on a women-only carriage, you'll find makeup mirrors inside, which is quite interesting. 🔍 Before entering the Science Museum, it's a good idea to check the venue map and performance times in advance to better plan your visit. The museum also has an app that allows you to scan QR codes next to exhibits and listen to audio explanations, which is very convenient. 🌟 The highlight is the world's largest planetarium, where you can watch a 50-minute starry sky, which is absolutely stunning. Although the commentary is all in Japanese, you can still feel the mystery and beauty of the universe. Additionally, there's a tornado activity that's quite innovative, allowing children to better understand natural disasters. ❄ There's also a polar low-temperature experience that requires a ticket in advance. It's recommended to calculate your time well to avoid missing out. Once inside the experience room, you need to put on a coat to experience temperatures of minus 10 degrees, minus 30 degrees, and minus 10 degrees, which is quite interesting. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Besides the above features, the Science Museum has many fun games and exhibits that help children better understand scientific knowledge, such as light, sound, materials, and more. Additionally, the Life Pavilion has exhibits like dinosaur fossils and DNA structures, suitable for older children. 🛍 After visiting the Science Museum, you can buy some special gifts at the souvenir shop across the street. In summary, for families who love science and exploration, the Nagoya City Science Museum is a great destination. Remember to plan your route and time in advance to let the children fully experience the charm of science.

Nagoya City Science Museum

#nagoyatrip A wonderful experience. This museum can be both an absolute source of joy and an opportunity for learning for children. Floors 2 to 6 are full of experiments and contraptions designed to explain basic scientific theories while demonstrating real life examples and applications. The exhibition starts with hydraulics, then common electrical and mechanical theories, then comes the waves, and lastly basics of human bodies. The place is so crowded, and each child is having so much fun enjoying science that it’s hard to believe that they are actually learning science which was supposed to be difficult. There is even a train simulator where you can run and control like a real train driver, and it’s an added bonus. If you have interest in science, then it’s highly recommended. If you do not have interest in scientific theories, still it’s recommended as a fun place.

They allow visitors to solve questions, try experiments, watch videos, go into sound rooms, etc. It's a great way of engaging the public, to make Science interesting. It was a fun visit! #wintergetaway
