Nagoya City Science Museum

©（公財）名古屋観光コンベンションビューロー

This is a must-visit attraction in Nagoya! The museum is a large experiential science facility, located within the Shirakawa Park. The eye-catching huge spherical structure is one of the largest planetariums, where you can enjoy a starry sky and authentic astronomy shows and feel like you are traveling through space!

There is a variety of experiences both children and adults can fully enjoy, such as watching the aurora at the extremely cold lab at – 30℃ and participating in surprising experiment shows. It is a recommended spot perfect for families and couples even on rainy days!
