The "Kashihara City Children's Science Museum" in Kashihara City, Nara Prefecture, is a facility where children can enjoy the wonders of science while experiencing them firsthand. This science museum is equipped with exhibits and experiment classrooms filled with discoveries and surprises, allowing children to learn about nature through play.
The children's science museum features corners where various scientific phenomena, such as the properties of magnets, the force of air, and series and parallel circuits, can be experienced firsthand. Children can feel the physical laws through experiments.
For example, in the corner that explains lift, you can observe the foam ball floating in an air tube. By trying different sizes of tubes and balls, you should understand the relationship between the force and the size of the ball.
This science museum is also useful for children's independent research. During the summer vacation period, elementary school students can be seen exploring scientific phenomena on their own. In the experiment classroom, the staff explains the properties of magnets and batteries using familiar examples in an easy-to-understand manner.
The science museum has a nursing room, so even parents with babies can visit without hesitation. Re-entry is possible, so you can return to enjoy the exhibits even after having a meal outside. The children's admission fee is only 100 yen, making it budget-friendly for families to stay for a long time.
Since it is less crowded on weekdays, you can enjoy almost private access and play to your heart's content. The staff are also kind and will answer questions politely.
Even if you are not interested in science, at the children's science museum, you can stimulate your child's senses. Without forgetting the spirit of play, why not indulge in a delightful series of discoveries?
