The 5-Days Children's Cultural Science Museum is such a great space to take the kids, especially since the entrance is free.
It’s designed to let them really burn off some energy, and the highlight is definitely the huge labyrinth. It’s like a giant maze that they can spend forever exploring and climbing through.
For the parents, it’s actually a pretty thoughtful setup because there are plenty of seats where you can sit and wait while the kids do their thing. It’s a nice way to take a breather while they stay entertained.
The only real downside is that it closes quite early—usually around 5:00 PM—so you might find yourself having to head out just when the fun is really getting started. It’s definitely worth arriving early so you don’t feel rushed when they start wrapping things up for the day.
Awesome free science museum fun for the whole family. Free lockers also available. Kept kids aged 7-12 completely entertained for 1.5 hours, but could have stayed 2.
Sadly this lovely retro museum is apparently being demolished this spring to be completely rebuilt.
The museum is definitely an interesting place for kids, and you can see that parents have a chance to sit down and chat while their children play or learn through play. Most of the exhibits are really engaging, though some are a bit old or out of order. The astronomy floor (which is the free section) is rather modest, so it’s usually empty and you don’t see many kids there — most of them prefer running around the maze and similar attractions. Overall, it’s a place worth visiting. It’s free, and the kids leave happy. The staff are also very kind and helpful.
Worth stopping by if you’ve got kids, lots of hands on activities for them to do. We had 30 minutes or so to do something and this was a perfect spot. Probably could have spent an hour here I’d say. Lots int he area as well to see and close to the other tourist spots that you can divert here plus it’s free
My young nephew adored the Hiroshima Children's Museum! I was a little worried about an attraction aimed at such a broad age range, but this place truly delivers. The interactive displays were clever and colourful, making learning feel effortless. There were plenty of areas dedicated to different subjects, keeping my curious six-year-old engaged throughout our visit. We especially enjoyed the earthquake simulation – he loved feeling like a brave rescue worker! While we had a fantastic time, some areas did feel slightly disorganised, which is why I've given four stars rather than five. Still, I'd highly recommend the Hiroshima Children's Museum to families and anyone looking for an engaging way to spend the day. Reviewed on Google Maps, June 2023. Rating: 4/5 Helpful?
