About this spot
The Osaka Science Museum in Nakanoshima, Osaka, is a popular spot where everyone from children to adults can enjoy the wonders of science with all five senses. The main highlight is the planetarium, boasting one of the world's largest dome screens. A starry sky as realistic as the real thing and a powerful full-dome digital space experience give an immersion that makes you forget everyday life. Live commentary by specialist curators, with talks tailored to the night sky of the day, is also a major draw. In the exhibition hall, themed "Space and Energy," more than 200 hands-on items are installed. You can learn the principles of physics and chemistry by operating the devices yourself, so it is full of discoveries that make even adults say "I see!" as well as curious children. The science shows with experiments performed right before your eyes are also a must-see. As the whole building is indoors, it is ideal for planning a date or family trip regardless of the weather. Why not spend a special time that makes science closer and more enjoyable?
