This place is within walking distance of Tokyo Station and is a great destination for families with children. It features a wide range of interactive exhibits covering construction equipment, minerals, evolution, computer technology, the history of motor vehicles, vehicle mechanics, light and energy, and many other scientific and technological topics. While adults may not find some sections more interesting. children are likely to have a great time exploring the exhibits. There are also several simulators that provide hands-on demonstrations and make the experience even more engaging. One thing to note is that only a limited number of exhibits include English descriptions. Visitors who understand Japanese will be able to get much more out of the displays and learn in greater depth about the various technologies on exhibit. Overall, it’s an educational and enjoyable place to visit, especially for kids.

Absolutely must visit if you have kids that are in primary or secondary levels in school. Especially if you have a Monday morning that is raining and you want to do something fun and educational indoors. So many different sections that teach Physics of electromagnetism, radio, energy, Geophysics, sensors, automobile engineering, Medicine/ Pharma, Nature, History of Cycles and a lot more! Very interactive and very cheap clean cafe under the building for convenience.

Despite appearing closed on the outside, it's very much open! After chatting to a friendly security guard and making our way to the ticket desk through a completely empty hallway, we purchased our tickets and made our way in. This is obviously primarily a place for Japanese children / families, but non-Japanese adults can have lots of fun here too! There are 4 floors, each with a slightly different feel, I recommend working your way top to bottom. There are hundreds of interactive exhibits scattered throughout, everything from an earthquake simulator to curling to cannons to walking pianos and optical illusions! You'll need to use Google Translate for most items, but the child-friendly Japanese means it all translates well. My personal highlights are, using the floor map, 4F (construction), 5F (optical illusions), and 5H (guitar hero-style piano). Around lunchtime you might turn a corner near 4E and suddenly discover... hundreds of Japanese school children eating their lunch! This was quite a surprise, as we'd only seen a few running around playing with the exhibits. There's a shop back on the ground floor, although mostly full of toys for kids (the museum's main audience!).

Great place for kids. They warn you exhibits arent in English. Some are some are not. However, my son enjoyed all of them. There is a cafe there that serves lovely food. I recall it being very cheap to enter something like 1000yen for son and me. We were there 2-3 hrs. My son really enjoyed the car simulators and the giant marble run. They have lots of school trips so the museum can be very busy.
