HOKUSHU Sendai City Science Museum

About this spot

A comprehensive science museum run by the City of Sendai, next to Dainohara Forest Park (台原森林公園). Its exhibits range widely from natural history to physics and living creatures, and many corners let you check things by moving them with your own hands. It is only a few stops on the Namboku Subway Line from Izumi-Chuo Station (泉中央駅), the closest station to Nanakita Park (七北田公園), which makes it easy to build into the day even without a car. Being indoors, you can stay out of the summer sun and save energy for the afternoon water play. Special exhibitions and craft workshops are sometimes held during the summer holidays, so checking the notices first makes for an efficient visit.

Season & hours

Name: 七北田公園 水遊び場

Date & time: 開設期間は未発表 (例年は夏休み期間)

Venue: 仙台市泉区・やまいちサステナパーク七北田公園

仙台市泉区のやまいちサステナパーク七北田公園にある、無料の「七北田公園 水遊び場」です。園内には泉ケ池やカムリの池といった水場があり、夏の日ざしの下で足をひたしたり水しぶきをあげたりして遊べます。すぐそばに大型遊具と芝生広場があるので、水に飽きたら遊具へ、走り疲れたらまた水へと、子どもが自分のペースで一日を組み立てられるのが大きな魅力です。都市緑化ホールに授乳室とおむつ交換台があり、小さな子を連れていても休憩や着替えの心配が少なくて済みます。料金は無料なので、短時間だけ立ち寄る使い方も気軽にできます。

Tips

開設期間は未発表で、例年は夏休み期間の運用です。出かける前に仙台市の案内で当日の状況を確認してください。水深は浅くても目を離さず、大人が必ず付き添ってください。日陰は木の下に限られるので、帽子と飲み物、休憩用のレジャーシートを忘れずに。おむつが取れていない子は水遊び用おむつを用意してください。遊んだあとは水道で足元をよく流し、着替えてから帰ると体が冷えません。

Tips

Check closing days, opening hours and the schedule of special exhibitions on the official website in advance. The exhibits cover a wide area, so with small children it is less tiring to focus on a target such as the natural history displays on the third floor. It is within walking distance of Asahigaoka Station and there is a car park.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 40 minutes. The morning, before the sun gets strong, is the most comfortable
