Here you can see exhibitions on various topics such as - evolution, survival and extinction of different animals, progress of science and technology, the mysteries of the dinosaurs and many more. There is also a space where kids can experiment with phenomena such as sound, light, force, motion, electricity, and magnetism, or explore the mysteries of nature, in a thicket of mixed trees, that are usually overlooked.

This is very interesting museum for kids and youth but note that Japanese are science and technology lovers, so the line to this museum is huge usually.
