The Hiroshima Children's Museum of Culture and Science is an experiential facility for children to become familiar with science and culture. The museum has a wide variety of exhibition areas themed on the wonders of space, earth, and science, and visitors can learn about the principles of science by touching, moving, and playing with objects. The planetarium, where visitors can enjoy beautiful starry skies and images of the universe on a large dome screen, is particularly popular. Different themes are projected for each season, and children and adults alike will be fascinated by these.

The exhibition room is filled with unique devices such as sound, light, and electrical experiment equipment. These stimulate children's curiosity and give them an opportunity to deepen their interest in science. On weekends and during long holidays, various events such as science experiment shows and craft classes are held, and children can be seen participating with shining eyes.

Located in the center of Hiroshima city, it is also an attractive location that is easy to access. It is also a great place to go on a rainy day, and is recommended as a learning spot for families with kindergarten and elementary school children.
