Abiko City Bird Museum

Flow of the course

About this spot

A specialist museum devoted to birds, standing on the shore of Lake Teganuma. The exhibition rooms, lined with specimens ranging from the birds that gather at Lake Teganuma to birds of the world, have real impact and a pull that draws children in on their own. There are also displays on how wings are built and how birds fly, which is fascinating because they answer the simple question of why birds can fly. It is indoors and air-conditioned, so you can spend the sunniest part of the morning in comfort. The Splash Pond is close by along the lakeshore, and the short distance between the two is a real help for families.

Tips

The museum is closed on Mondays (the next weekday if Monday is a public holiday). Fees and exhibition content can change during special exhibitions, so check the official information before you go. It is a quiet space, so telling small children about the appropriate tone of voice in advance keeps things smooth. You can view the exhibits without leaving your stroller.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 15 minutes. The morning, before the sun gets strong, is the most comfortable
