Children enter free and can get soft drinks, exhibits show brewing history, but displays are static, no play zone or changing tables, and alcohol theme may bore kids under twelve.

Tip: Use the small elevator for strollers. Scan QR codes for English and Chinese translations.

Tip: Kids’ soft drinks cost ¥200 each. Arrive before 6 PM to catch last orders.
Family Meal at Poplar Hall:

Tip: Reserve a corner table to fit your stroller. Plan dinner after 5 PM to avoid the lunch crowd.

Fun museum with information provided in Japanese, English, Chinese and Korean. Perfect for beer enthusiasts and those just looking to learn more about Hokkaido history alike! The entrance was free, and there was also a free guided tour. The museum had a gift shop and the option to do a taste test.

Honestly, the museum itself didn’t have much to see, and most of the explanations were only in Japanese, so it wasn’t very foreigner-friendly. However, the beer tasting on the first floor is a must—super fresh, cold, and delicious. If you come here, definitely give the beer set a try. Low score as a museum, high score for the beer!

Overall a pretty good facility, would recommend. Free tour available but if you want the premium tour it’s 1,000¥ or so.

I’m writing this review based on the free tour, as I didn’t book the premium one. The free tour you can just walk in and make your way to level 3. No need to queue for ticket . Honestly, the free tour is pretty short — it’s mainly about the history of how Sapporo Beer was founded, along with a small exhibit showing what the brewery looked like in the past. You can finish the tour in about 10–15 mi...
