A wonderful place to encounter the charm of science

The children's science museum in Morioka city, Iwate prefecture, is a cozy facility where both adults and children can experience the mysterious world of science. Inside the museum, there are various hands-on science experiment corners where everyone can learn by getting their hands dirty. Some facilities may seem old, but they are well-maintained, so you can use them with peace of mind.

Exciting hands-on science experiments

For example, in the corner where you can learn about the properties of electricity, you can conduct experiments to make your hair stand on end with static electricity. The sight of children being captivated by this is a must-see. In addition, at the corner where you can confirm the properties of sound, you can enjoy the sound of the musical instruments you made yourself. It is the physical sensation of various principles that deepens understanding.

Enchanted by the mysteries of the starry sky

The highlight is the planetarium that screens the astronomical show. In the large dome that spans 360 degrees, a beautiful starry sky spreads out. In works themed around the Milky Way, a fantastical landscape unfolds, allowing both adults and children to immerse themselves in a dreamy state. The gentle narration of the guide is also impressive. The price is reasonable, so be sure to experience it.

Experience the fun of science through events

The children's science museum holds regular events. For example, you can watch rocket launch experiments, participate in stargazing events, and fully enjoy the fun of science. By getting children familiar with science at an early age, they may cultivate the seeds of future dreams and hopes.

Morioka Children's Science Museum is a valuable place where both adults and children can encounter the charm of science together. Why not pay a visit?

Used in January 2024. Opening hours: 9:00-16:30 (Admission until 16:00) Closed on Mondays, last Tuesday of each month, New Year holidays Fee Children (4 years old to junior high school students) Exhibition room / 100 yen Planetarium / 100 yen Adults (high school students and above) Exhibition room / 200 yen Planetarium / 300 yen Although the facilities and exhibits are old, they are well-maintained and there are staff who will explain various things to you, so I think children will have a lot of fun. I wonder if it's a little unsatisfying for high school students? However, they seem to be holding a variety of events, and I can feel their desire to convey the fun of science. The explanation given by the planetarium guy was very soft and the children seemed to be having fun.

This is a place where you can experience various scientific experiments. Some of the facilities provided are a bit old, but they are well maintained and can be used without any problems. As the name suggests, it is aimed at children, so there was nothing dangerous about it, so I was able to let them play with peace of mind. Events such as scientific experiments are also held here. Be sure to visit the planetarium, the main attraction. The prices for both the exhibition corner and planetarium are very reasonable.

It's cold, and it's a bit old, but I think it's useful and fun for children under elementary school age, and adults can play with it too 👏✨

It's been the same inside for decades. Why not update? It's fun for both kids and adults, but it gets boring after the first few times. No matter how many times you come, they don't want you to enjoy yourself and go home without getting bored. I only went to see the Galaxy Express planetarium... The Golden Week parking lot and reception counter were lined up and crowded with children, but there was only one staff member at the entrance. I arrived and lined up more than 10 minutes before entering the planetarium, but when it was my turn, 2.3 minutes had passed and the tickets for that show had already been sold. Isn't it strange that you said that? It's obvious that the number of people will increase during Golden Week, so why not install ticket machines that make it easier to buy tickets or increase the number of staff? The same counter is used for goods sales. I think it takes a lot of time because we are standing in the same line. Even though I went to the trouble of going there, I was told that even the children did not have to go inside. I'm sorry.

The exhibits are full of variety, and there are many ways to attract interest and deepen understanding. The shows and planetarium didn't skimp on the content for children, but were of a very high quality with easy-to-understand explanations. Adults can also have fun and not just accompany children.
