Osaka Science and Technology Museum
Japan's leading cutting-edge companies and research institutes use hands-on exhibits and games to introduce the latest science and technology in everyday life in an easy-to-understand manner.
This hands-on science museum allows visitors of all ages to learn about various science technologies, such as industrial technology used in our daily lives, space, and the deep sea, through physical activities, games, and quizzes. Admission is free, and the adjacent Utsubo Park is an urban oasis, with beautiful flowers blooming throughout the seasons. Special exhibitions introducing science and technology topics are held for a limited time, and on Sundays and during the spring, summer, and winter holidays, there are fun science events such as experiments, crafts, and talk sessions.
