Known forscienceinteractiveplanetariumfamily-friendly
A hands-on science museum perched on the edge of Nakanoshima island, covering space, energy, and the natural world across four interactive floors. The planetarium is one of the best in western Japan and should be booked in advance as it sells out quickly. The exhibits skew toward children but adults genuinely enjoy the physics and astronomy sections; some English signage is limited.
