  • 5/5 TOYO M. 2 years ago on Google
    20211128念願の初訪問。「家族で楽しめる施設を」とGoogleマップ検索で見つけ、行ってみたい先に登録していました。 入口で可愛い犬型ロボットが出迎えてくれ、家族皆大喜び。期待のボルテージは上がります! …館内は、科学技術館(九段)がワンフロアに凝縮されて「超」リニューアルしたような印象。ただ見るだけではなく、器材に直接触れたり自分の体を使って科学の知識や港区の歴史を体験できます。学芸員さんが良いタイミングで解説してくれるのもグッド。個人的には、吊り橋(斜張橋)の組み立てが新鮮で興味深かったです。 ビックリなのが、家族でこれだけ楽しめてなんと無料!さすが港区。財政力がありますね! 今回は時間帯が合わず断念しましたが、次回はプラネタリウム(大人600円 子供100円)を必ず体験しようと思います🌠

    (Translated by Google) I dropped in during the walk, but the tour area was a holiday. 😅 Next time I would like to check it out before going. I ate Kake Udon at the cafeteria in the basement and went home. The building was very beautiful. (Original) お散歩の途中でふらりと立ち寄りましたが、見学エリアはお休みの日でした。😅 次回は調べてから行きたいと思います。 地下の食堂でかけうどんを食べて帰りました。 建物はとてもきれいでした。

    (Translated by Google) Since it is a ward science museum, you can enter it for free.

  • 4/5 Sunetra S. 1 year ago on Google • 146 reviews
    It's really a good place for kids to understand the science behind everything happening around. There are two floors and two separate staircases to climb up and get down. Each floor has restrooms. On the second floor they have a planetarium and a game zone related to science. The planetarium has reclining chairs. The person in charge who explained everything to us has a very calm and soothing voice. The kids enjoyed it. I ran out of time so couldn't check all the games it was fun. No admission tickets for Minato ku residence, 65+yrs old, pre-schoolers. Others had to pay 600¥ i think.

    Plenetoriun show is awesome. Must watch it. Many hands on stimulating activities for kids and fantastic demonstrations of natural processes e.g. earthquakes, tsunami and meteorology etc

  • 5/5 Mayumi H. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The Minato Science Museum, Planetarium, and Meteorological Science Museum are located next to each other. Due to the influence of the corona, the time system is every 2 hours, so you can't fully experience it in a day. As it was new, I was able to experience various things, and the staff in the hall were kind and I was able to spend time comfortably with my parents. It is amazing that it is free without the planetarium. I will go again. (Original) みなと科学館、プラネタリウム、気象科学館が併設。 コロナの影響で2時間毎の時間制の為、一日ではとても体験しきれません。 新しいだけあって色んな体験が出来、館内スタッフさんも親切で親子で気持ちよく過ごせました。 これでプラネタリウム抜きだと無料というのがすごい。 また行きます。

  • 4/5 おもち 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) 2020.6 Opened public facility. The appearance that is not like a planetarium, the complete telephone reservation system due to the times, and the fact that there is no news because it is publicly owned, it can be said that it is a secret secret full of hidden spot elements, the current super secret. Information on new buildings in Minato Ward Minato Science Museum, including the planetarium Google search "Defrag Life Hidden" (Original) 2020.6オープンした公共施設。 およそプラネタリウムらしからぬ外観、時勢ゆえの完全電話予約制、公営のためまるで報道がないという、穴場スポット要素満載の秘中の秘ともいえる、現時点の超穴場。 港区立みなと科学館プラネタリウムをはじめ穴場新ビル情報は Google検索「デフラグライフ 穴場」

  • 4/5 André L. 10 months ago on Google • 176 reviews
    Pretty good. And FREE! Small, but enough fun for a whole afternoon. All exhibits are interactive. The planetarium feels brand spanking new — the museum just completed its 3rd anniversary — just avoid the lunchtime sessions, unless you really wanna have a snooze.

  • 5/5 Yuko S. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I went to see a rocket show with a 5 year old and 2 year old child! The show was fun and the kids were fun! Excited. The image of the planetarium was also beautiful. The facility itself is very clean and not very large, but there are many attractive exhibits in the free area so you can play without getting bored. The Meteorological Science Museum area on the 2nd floor is also fun. (Original) 5歳2歳の子供とロケットショーを観に行きました!ショーは楽しくて子供は面白かった〜!と大興奮。プラネタリウムも映像が綺麗でした。施設自体とてもきれいで、さほど広くはないですが、無料エリアも魅力的な展示が沢山あり飽きずに遊べます。2階にある気象科学館エリアも楽しいですよ。

  • 5/5 Sunny G. 1 year ago on Google • 54 reviews
    Visited here on a weekday with my family. The Japan Meteorological Agency is in the same building (so cool!) and their cafeteria on B1 floor is open to the public. The food was delicious, the prices excellent and the staff were very kind and welcoming and went out of their way to help us. It was a great place for lunch before we explored the museum. The museum wasn't large but the exhibits were very well done. They were engaging, interactive and modern. My child especially loved the sunny Harerun mascot motif and statue. The circular theatre on 2F was impressive, with the show taking place on a 360° screen all around the audience. We didn't pay to enter the planetarium this visit so we'll definitely be back! The majority of the museum is free to enter.

  • 4/5 Pom M. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It seems that the Japan Meteorological Agency has moved, so I went to see it. Advance reservations are required even on weekdays as a countermeasure. However, a smartphone is essential because you can make a reservation in front of you and enter immediately. You can visit the 1st floor of the Science Museum and the 2nd floor of the weather. To visit the planetarium Should I check the screening content and time properly? I think the exhibits were fairly solid with recent technology. The space isn't that big, but you can enjoy it all. However, there is no specialized guts shop, so there is a convenience store in the basement. I'm going to use a specialized corner It takes courage to say that it is a little inconvenient for the general public to enter. .. .. After all, it's hard to know the location. I don't understand the procedure well. It's a shop for people involved in the building, so it's crowded with business people. There are few items related to the Science Museum / Meteorological Museum ... Please do your best with a little more assortment. (Original) 気象庁が移転したようなので見学に行ってきました。 ころな対策で平日でも事前予約が必要です。 とはいえ目の前で予約してすぐに入館可能なのでスマホは必須。 科学館1Fと気象関連2Fが見学できます。プラネタリウム見学するには 上映内容と時間をちゃんと確認した方がよいでしょうか。 展示物は最近の技術でかなりしっかりできていたかと思います。 スペースはそれほど広くはありませんが、一通り楽しめます。 ただ、専門のグッツ売店とかがありませんので、地下にあるコンビニの 専門コーナーを利用する形になるのですが 一般客が立ち入るにはちょっと不便なのと、勇気がいります。。。 なにしろ場所がわかりずらいのです。手続きもよくわからず。 ビル関係者用のお店なのでビジネスマンで混雑しているのと 科学館/気象館に関する品が乏しいのです・・・・ もう少し品ぞろえがんばってください。

  • 4/5 Y “0u0” N. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a new and very beautiful facility. The contents of the exhibition are so fulfilling that you cannot think that the admission fee is free. There were games and so on, and my kids were crazy about playing. I was able to enjoy the exhibition slowly without congestion in the hall, probably because of the web reservation system as a measure against corona. There is also a nursing room for babies and a multipurpose restroom, so you can rest assured with your children. (Original) 新しくてとても綺麗な施設です。入館料が無料とは思えないくらい充実した展示内容です。ゲームなどもあり子供が夢中になって遊んでいました。 コロナ対策でweb予約制になっているおかげか、館内は混雑もなく、ゆっくりと展示を楽しむことができました。 赤ちゃん用の授乳室や多目的トイレもあり、子連れで安心していけます。

    大人も子供も無料で利用できます。 (プラネタリウムは有料) どちらかというと子供向きだと思いますが、大人でも楽しめます。 「わたしエリア」では反射神経テストができて、ゲーム感覚で楽しめる展示物も多いかと。 2階にある気象科学館と合わせてどうぞ。

    Amazing experience!!!

  • 5/5 Tomoko I. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I visited on a weekday during summer vacation. It was free except for the planetarium. The staff will kindly explain the exhibits. I didn't know that the shape of the falling rain was actually a shape of melon bread. I am very grateful for this type of hands-on experience, as learning and curiosity deepen through experiments. I told my daughter that it would be fun to imagine melon bread falling on a gloomy rainy day. The planetarium was also nice. The pork curry in the employee cafeteria in the basement was also delicious. Is a mini curry enough for a small eater? Somehow I stayed there for three and a half hours. Perfect for kids who love science and experiments! (Original) 夏休みの平日に伺いました。 プラネタリウム以外は無料でした。 係員の方が優しく展示物の説明をして下さいます。落ちてくる雨の型が実はメロンパンの型とは知りませんでした。実験を通すと学びや興味関心が深くなるのでこういった体験型はとてもありがたいです。 これから憂鬱な雨の日もメロンパンが降ってると想像すると楽しくなるねと娘と話しました。プラネタリウムも素敵でした。 地下の社員食堂のポークカレーも美味しかったです。ミニカレーでも小食な女性は十分かも?何だかんだで三時間半も滞在しました。科学や実験好きな子にはぴったりです!

    (Translated by Google) This is a municipal science museum where even older children can learn. It touches on the basics of science, but the explanations for children are easy to understand, so I learned a lot. The method of explanation is also devised, so it can be called lifelong learning. However, it was a little awkward for adults to play. (Original) 大きな子どもも学ぶことができる、区立の科学館です。 科学の基本的な内容についてふれられているのですが、お子様向けの説明は分かりやすいので勉強になりました。 説明の仕方についても工夫がされているので、生涯学習と称していけますね。 ただ、大人が遊ぶには少し気まずさがありましたが。

    (Translated by Google) The explanation of the starry sky seen from Minato Ward in the first half of the planetarium is excellent. Is it more like a planetarium than a planned product? (Original) プラネタリウム前半の港区から見た星空説明のくだりがすぐれる。企画モノよりプラネタリウムらしいと言うか。

  • 4/5 はなこ 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Although it is a small science museum, it has abundant planetarium programs. It takes about 5 minutes on foot from Kamiya station. As a measure against corona, the inside of the building is disinfected by dividing it by time zone. You can make a reservation from the homepage. Pepper welcomes you at the front entrance, and there is a hands-on exhibition room on your right and a room for events (science laboratories) in front. The toilet is on the left on the stairs, and the planetarium entrance is on the right. In the hands-on exhibition room, there is a corner where you can learn by linking the projector and the sensor using your body in a ring shape. Many of them are related to Minato Ward, and you may naturally become familiar with the Minato Ward area. Most of them use the body, so I think they can be enjoyed by everyone from small children to adults. There are programs for small children to adults, so if you do not compare the program contents, there are some difficult contents for children, so you may not be able to sit for a long time. (Original) 小振りの科学館ですが、プラネタリウムのプログラムが豊富です。 神谷駅から歩いて5分程度で着きます。 コロナ対策として、時間帯で区切って館内を消毒しています。 ホームページから予約ができます。 正面入り口にはペッパー君がお出迎え、右手に体験型展示室、正面にはイベント(科学実験室)用の部屋があります。 階段上の左はトイレ、右手にプラネタリウムの入り口があります。 体験型展示室には円環状に体を使ってプロジェクターとセンサーが連動して学習するコーナーがあります。 それぞれ港区に因んだ物が多く、自然と港区地域に詳しくなるかも知れません。 体を使うものがメインなので、小さいお子さまから大人まで楽しめると思います。 プログラムも小さいお子さまから、大人向けの物もあるので、プログラム内容を照らし合わせて行かないと、子供には難しい内容もあるので、長時間座ってられないかもしれません。

  • 4/5 Nozomi 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Reservations are required to prevent corona. You can also enter the Meteorological Museum of the Japan Meteorological Agency on the second floor. I also made a reservation for the planetarium at the same time by calling the reservation of the science museum. The planetarium is 600 yen for adults and 100 yen for children. Although it is on one floor of the Science Museum, there are plenty of hands-on facilities with many smart devices, and you can enjoy the planetarium (40 minutes) for about 2 hours. (Original) コロナ対策のため予約制です。二階にある気象庁の気象博物館も一緒に入場できます。 科学館の予約の電話で同時にプラネタリウムの予約もして入りました。プラネタリウムは大人600円こども100円です。 科学館ワンフロアですがスマート機器が多い体験型の施設が豊富で、プラネタリウム(40分)まで合わせて約2時間楽しめます。

    (Translated by Google) The science museum is on the first floor, and the meteorological museum is on the second floor. The planetarium is 600 yen for adults. There are many hands-on facilities, so it is highly recommended for families with children. It was quite empty in the evening on weekdays, but it seems to be very crowded on Saturdays and Sundays. There is also a dining room in the basement, and the facility is overall clean and comfortable. (Original) 1階が科学館、2階が気象館でこちらは無料です。 プラネタリウムは大人600円です。 体験型の施設が多くお子さん連れに大変お勧めです。 平日夕方ですと流石に空いていましたが土日は大変混むようです。 地下には食堂もあり全体的に綺麗で過ごしやすい施設です。

  • 5/5 浅井エリ 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The planetarium is a little-known spot. The program is updated little by little every month and you can enjoy it no matter how many times you go to see it. The screen transition of the reservation site is a little difficult to understand, but you can watch it with confidence because it is a complete reservation system. You can enjoy it at a very low price in the ward building, and there is Toranomon Hills in the neighborhood, so you can enjoy it slowly for a day in the Toranomon area. (Original) プラネタリウムは穴場です。 プログラムも毎月少しずつ更新され何度観に行っても楽しめます。 予約サイトの画面遷移が少々分かりにくいですが、完全予約制なので安心して鑑賞できます。 区立の建物内でとてもお安く鑑賞できて、近所に虎ノ門ヒルズもあり虎ノ門エリアで1日ゆっくり楽しめます。

    I have been to three science museums in Tokyo and this is definitely my favorite. The planetarium has great shows.

  • 5/5 K K. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I have used it many times, but the 1st floor is the science museum and the 2nd floor is the meteorological museum, where you can learn about science, nature, history and disasters of Minato Ward in a fun and easy-to-understand manner using digital teaching materials. . Although the scale of the special exhibition is not that big, you can enjoy learning. The contents of the planetarium are different for each screening, and you can fully enjoy it for 600 yen for adults (I have never been able to watch it to the end, so I can spend comfortably). Small children are not restricted from entering, but if it's dark and they cry, you can guide them near the entrance so that they can leave immediately. There are diaper changing sheets in the building and the restrooms are clean, so it's helpful for 1-year-olds. We sell original goods, but the cafeteria and shop in the basement are open only on weekdays. There are two elevators, so you can use it without crowding even on weekends. There is one vending machine for eating and drinking in the area of ​​3 bench seats on the 2nd floor of the building, and 1 vending machine for food and 1 drink are installed in the basement cafeteria. The bench outside the entrance can also be used for eating and drinking, but be careful of mosquitoes. It takes a little time to disinfect, take temperature, and enter the building, but you can enter without lining up and it's not crowded, so it's a place like a hideout spot with children that you don't want to be known too much. (Original) 何度も利用させて頂いておりますが、1階が科学館で、2階が気象館となっており、デジタル教材も用いて楽しく分かりやすく科学と港区の自然と歴史と災害について学べます。企画展示も規模はそこまで大きくないものの、楽しく学べます。 プラネタリウムは上映回毎に内容が異なり、大人600円で存分に楽しめます(最後まで見ていられた事はなく、気持よく過ごせます)。小さい子が入場制限される訳ではなく、暗くて泣いてしまうようならすぐ出られるようにと出入り口付近にご案内頂けます。 館内にオムツ替えシートがありトイレもキレイなので1歳児には助かりますが、付近のコンビニおよび神谷町・虎ノ門ヒルズ駅付近のドラッグストアにはオムツやミルク関連製品が売っていないので、持参マストです。 オリジナルグッズを販売していますが、地下の食堂・売店は平日のみの営業です。エレベーターが2基あり、週末も混まずに利用可能です。 館内2階のベンチ3シート分のエリアは飲食可能で自動販売機が1台あり、地下の食堂に食べ物と飲み物の自動販売機が各1台設置されています。入口外のベンチも飲食に利用出来ますが、蚊に注意が必要です。 消毒・検温・入館手続きにちょっとだけ時間かかりますが、並ばずに入れますし混雑していることもないので、あまり知られて欲しくない子連れ隠れ家スポット的な場所です。

😐 Visited for the “Sailor Moon” exhibition. The museum itself was easy to access and convenient. As per the exhibition, it is not worth the hype (for me).
