Sendai City Science Museum

The four-story museum building features interactive displays focusing on natural history, engineering, life sciences, and environmental exhibits throughout its dedicated spaces.

Established in 1952 as a science education facility, the museum underwent development before its official opening in May 1968 under architect Kume Sekkei's design.

The museum incorporates a hands-on learning philosophy where visitors physically engage with exhibits through buttons, mechanisms, and experimental stations to understand scientific concepts.

The facility operates from 9:00 AM to 4:45 PM with admission fees of 550 yen for adults, offering parking space for 200 vehicles and free Wi-Fi access.

The third floor contains a detailed wetlands display that models the local Hirosegawa River, connecting environmental science to regional geography.
