Qiball, Combined facility in Chūō, Japan
Qiball is a multistory building with a science museum, health center, and children's area spread across 15 floors. The different sections are housed in a single structure, making it easy to visit multiple facilities in one location.
The building was designed by Nikken Sekkei and opened in 2007 to create new community services in Chiba. Its opening marked a shift in how the city brought educational and health facilities together in one location.
The science museum draws visitors who want to explore interactive experiments and join learning programs. This reflects the local commitment to introducing scientific thinking to young learners.
The building sits about 1 kilometer (3,300 feet) from JR Chiba Station with parking for around 300 vehicles. When planning a visit, allow enough time since the different areas spread across multiple floors.
One area on the sixth floor offers support for parents and children. This space has become a popular gathering spot for families living in the area.
