Kids Plaza Osaka is a museum for children that aims to bring out the creativity and individuality of children. It is a popular spot in Osaka that is full of ideas for hands-on learning about science and culture through play, stimulating children's curiosity and cultivating their creativity.
Kids Plaza Osaka is an experiential museum located in Ogimachi Park in Kita-ku, Osaka City, where children are the main characters. This facility, which opened in 1997, is based on the concept of "children are the main characters" and has many exhibits that allow children to touch, move, feel, and learn while having fun. The building itself has a unique colorful design that piques children's curiosity. Inside the museum, there are various experience zones tailored to different ages and interests, such as the "Waiwai Studio" and "Gokko Town" where you can learn about the structure of society and the principles of science through "play," and the "World Culture Experience Corner" where you can experience cultures from around the world.

The huge playground equipment "Children's Town" is particularly popular. This colorful building was designed by Austrian architect Hundertwasser, and is a space where children can use their whole body to play, climbing up and down the slides freely. Through play, children not only develop their sense of balance and motor skills, but also naturally interact with other children. There are also plenty of attractions to turn children's "why?" into "I see!", such as a corner where you can try scientific experiments and a studio where you can try making a TV program.

It's an indoor facility so you can play safely even on rainy days, so you can enjoy it all day regardless of the weather. It's a great spot to visit with your family, with plenty of ideas for children of all ages, from infants to elementary school students.
