What other travelers are saying about Saitama Municipal Youth Astronomical Museum
It's a good place to spend your day when you are living around urawa or Saitama. Walk in was fast and staff was very friendly. They have a small canteen for refreshment of vending machines. 2nd is a must visit for the planetarium experience.
Free with free parking. They have interactive exhibits that really engage the kids. Kids not only have fun, they learn something. On the 2nd floor they have some wooden toys for smaller children. There is a reading room up there too. You can pay to enjoy a movie in the hybrid planetarium.
Expected more, half of everything was roped off so we couldn't see. But what we did see was okay. Some stuff like the piano was really old and didn't work hardly at all. No theater shows either. Was in and out in less than one hour.
