Enjoy the wonders of science through interactive exhibits where you can 'see, listen, and touch'
About this spot
An interactive science museum on the upper floors of a building just off Shizuoka Station's south exit, themed on 'seeing, listening, and touching.' The floors are lined with participatory exhibits where you can use your body to explore the mysteries of sound, light, and force, naturally touching upon scientific principles while playing. As a finale to your day of history, switch mental gears and give children's curiosity one more boost. Being indoors is a welcome advantage for enjoying it regardless of evening weather.
Tips
Elementary and middle school students receive discounted admission, and preschoolers enter free. The museum occupies floors 8-10 of the building and uses elevators—completely safe with a stroller. As closing time approaches, wait times for experiences shorten, but children may feel they haven't played enough, so coordinate the time allocation with your child. The bus heading to Shizuoka Station's south exit is convenient from the Toro Archaeological Site.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour. Early evening is relatively uncrowded, making popular exhibits easier to experience
