What other travelers are saying about Kobe Anpanman Children's Museum & Mall
It's more of a play area than a museum. There are slides, big bouncy balls and some sets to play with. I went with my 2 year old daughter and she really enjoyed it. We went at 10:30 on a Saturday and it was very overcrowded so I recommend coming after lunchtime. You can exit and reenter so when it was busy we went out for lunch and came back. The main attraction is a 15 minute show in the theatre. People took seats from an hour before so you will probably have to stand. Good for kids aged 1-6. A bit overpriced though as there isn't a whole lot to see or do in the museum. The mall part is mostly a huge gift shop.
This is first time to visiting this children's paradise. Although the weather is quite cold and it is close to the seaside which can enjoy the beautiful harbor together with the vast blue sky. There are also so many unique and cute cartoon characters and exquisite products. It is also one of the must-visit attractions for cartoon fans.
20250324 Streets nearby are decorated with anpanman! Have a bread shop (but everything was sold out in the late afternoon), a shop, a play area (I think), and the meseum itself. Very nice for kids
Perfect for children. The museum is more like an indoor playground, with many activities and play areas for children to enjoy. My child loved exploring and playing with the interactive areas.
There is not much for an adult to do. I just watched my child play and took many pictures. Some play-sets are small so it's hard for an adult to come inside and play with the child. I don't think the ticket price is worth it for an adult, but the ticket price for a child is worth it because the children have so much fun. I brought a book and read while my child was busy having fun. There are many seats to sit on while the children enjoy themselves.
The staff was kind and happy. The musical show was very enjoyable, but I recommend getting to the stage area early because seats fill up fast. We arrived thirty minutes before the showtime and sat near the back. There is standing room behind the seats, but you will have to carry a small child to they can see over the other people.
