Obihiro City Children's Hall

Flow of the course

About this spot

This is a facility for children run by the city of Obihiro, located inside Midorigaoka Park. It has a planetarium where you can sit and look up at a projection recreating the night sky of Tokachi (十勝). Inside there are exhibits you can touch and operate and spaces to play, and being able to spend time regardless of the weather is why local families rely on it. Midorigaoka Park also holds a zoo, an art museum and a history museum, so if you have time to spare you can walk over to one of them. It is air-conditioned indoors, which helps you get through the sunniest hours without using up energy.

Tips

The planetarium has fixed projection times, so reserve a time when you enter and then tour the exhibits to avoid wasted waiting. Check the admission fee and closed days in the city of Obihiro's information in advance. Park in the lot inside the grounds and you can walk to the other facilities as well. Keep the visit to about 1 hour 20 minutes and save energy for the afternoon water play.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 20 minutes. Right after opening it is easier to choose planetarium seats
