Positives:

  • Gift Shop Picks: Browse robot models and science-themed gifts at the exit shop for a unique souvenir
  • Odaiba Waterfront Walk: Step outside to Symbol Promenade Park for a romantic stroll along Tokyo Bay

Challenges:

  • Timed Shows Sell Out: Dome theater and robot performances have limited seats; reserve early online
  • Crowded Weekends: Permanent exhibits can get busy; arriving before 10:00 helps avoid the rush

We visited the Miraikan Museum with three kids (ages 9 to 14) and it was amazing! They didn’t want to leave. We spent hours exploring exhibits on space, robots, and cool technologies. Everything is interactive, intriguing, and full of fun learning experiences. Perfect for families who love to learn and enjoy together.

Awesome science museum to visit, especially with your kid. We were only planning to spend an hour or two here, but ended up spending three hours. If it wasn't other plans we had, we could have spent a whole day here. Lots of cool and interesting exhibitions, as well as tons of interactive experiences. Higher recommend if you are in Tokyo.

True to its name. Instead of just the typical science exhibits - showcasing basic scientific principles, it shares some interesting innovations and possibilities for future adoption. From therapy robots to methods for predicting future disasters and space exploration. Pretty cool stuff. P.S. The Nobel Q wall - Questions posed by Nobel Laureates during their visit was also quite fascinating.

The dome theater movie on astronaut life was kind of boring. A lot of kids went there for field trip. The aging exhibit shows how aging people see, hear, experience. It helps the younger generation gain the understanding and empathy for the...
