2026 Science Center Park Water Play Area Full-Day Course

The Science Center Park Water Play Area is a free water play spot that appears only in summer at Science Center Park in Atsubetsu Ward, Sapporo. In 2026 it is open from Wednesday, July 1 to Monday, August 31, from 9:30 to 16:30. The venue is Science Center Park in Atsubetsu Ward, Sapporo, and just as its name suggests, its greatest feature is that it stands right beside the Sapporo Science Center (札幌市青少年科学館) and Sunpiazza Aquarium. The water is shallow, so even little ones can play with peace of mind, and admission is free. Because the indoor facilities and the water play area sit within walking distance of one another, you can rearrange the plan to suit the weather or your child's mood — that is the strength of this day. In the morning, at the Sapporo Science Center, you confirm how force, light and ice work by operating the exhibits with your own hands. Have lunch at Sunpiazza, the shopping complex in Shin-Sapporo, then begin the afternoon at Sunpiazza Aquarium. Small though it is, this aquarium inside a downtown building presents everything with care, letting children take their time face to face with the fish. Finally, return to Science Center Park and play in the spray until closing. Opening can change because of weather or cleaning, so check the City of Sapporo's information before you head out.
