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.
