Miraikan Tokyo

Room for discovery

What can you explore?

• Curiosity Field invites children and parents to explore through activities such as rolling balls, constructing marble runs and digital drawing; the museum recommends the space for ages 3 and up and requires adult-child participation.
• Permanent galleries connect visitors with space, Earth, life, sustainability and future society; Miraikan says many exhibits are interactive and suitable for small children.
• The Dome Theater presents immersive full-dome science and space films; seats are reserved and a separate or combo ticket is required.

Suggested interest ages

Suggested interests: ages 3–17

Editorial age guidance

Editorial planning suggestion: ages 3–17, not an admission rule. This range reflects the official family-oriented Curiosity Field recommendation (ages 3+) and interactive exhibits described as enjoyable for small children, alongside broader science and future-society themes that can interest older children and teens. Babies and younger children may accompany adults, but are not counted as the main target audience by this suggested filter. Curiosity Field specifically requires a parent/guardian/chaperone to participate with children and allows at most four children per one guardian. Check current exhibit/program details after reopening; the 3+ recommendation is for that sub-attraction only, not the whole museum.

Visitor planning notes

Miraikan is closed in its entirety from October 1, 2026 through April 22, 2027 for refurbishment; official site lists a grand reopening on April 23, 2027. Check the official calendar and ticket pages before planning afterward, since hours and programs can change. Permanent-exhibition tickets and Dome Theater tickets are distinct; Dome seats are reserved. Official accessibility information lists 13 loaner strollers, a fifth-floor nursing room with formula water, wheelchair loans and quiet rooms; availability is limited and visitors should ask staff. Curiosity Field can have timed entry/numbered tickets on busy days and operating times may change.
