5-Days Children's Museum of Culture and Science

Flow of the course

About this spot

This is a science museum for children in the Central Park area beside Hiroshima Castle (広島城). Inside, rows of hands-on exhibits let visitors operate things with their own hands and play while thinking about how they work. Viewing the exhibition rooms is free, and only the planetarium costs extra, which families will appreciate. The building is air-conditioned, so it is a good place to spend a long morning on a hot day. Hiroshima Gate Park is within walking distance, making this the perfect starting point for the day.

Tips

Viewing the exhibition rooms is free; the planetarium is paid. Check the projection schedule, fees and closed days on the official website. During the summer holidays there may be events such as craft workshops, and some require advance application. Popular exhibits get crowded, so arriving right after opening lets you play at a relaxed pace. The layout is easy to navigate with a stroller, but leaving it at the entrance when crowded makes moving around easier.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 40 minutes. Right after opening you can use the exhibits without waiting, which is very comfortable
