Mount Tenpō is 66% Kids-Friendly

Osaka City Museum of Fine Arts is 66% Kids-Friendly
Children enter free and workshops add hands-on learning, yet most exhibits are look-only and require soft voices, so curiosity may wane after about an hour unless a special kids program is running.
Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours
