    It was really a fun experience to see the scientific development in Japan. It's basically for kids. Everything is explained in Japanese and English. So it is not difficult to understand. The best part was the Robot dance and the hanging globe. However, I feel considering the size of the museum, they can put some more scientific things as there was lot of dead space. Altogether it's a good place to visit when you are in Tokyo.
  • By Roberto Villegas
    Good science museum, specially for kids. Although if you are looking for the Paris or Munich experience this is not the place. Advantage is that in one day you can have a pretty good broad number of topics to cover. Didn't stay longer than 4 hours so I can not judge food possibilities if I had to stay full day. Interesting open concept and exhibitions are interesting
