Gifu City Science Museum (岐阜市科学館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A hands-on science museum run by Gifu City, with a great many exhibits you can touch and move with your own hands. You can check out how force, light and sound work while playing, so even children too young to follow the theory can enjoy it fully. There is a planetarium inside, and if the show times line up you can sit and cool off while looking at the starry sky. Unlike the art museum, the atmosphere here allows raising your voice and moving around, which switches children's mood. It is also just right as a warm-up stop before the afternoon water play.

Tips

There is an admission fee, plus a separate fee for the planetarium. Prices, opening hours, closed days and show schedules may change, so check the official website. During the summer holidays there may also be special exhibitions and craft workshops. The air conditioning is strong, so a light layer makes it more comfortable.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 10 minutes. It is relatively empty before noon
