The Muroran Youth Science Museum displayed scientific principles through interactive exhibits, handmade demonstrations, fossils, minerals, and a 3D simulator for visitor experiences.

The facility opened its doors on April 1, 1963, as the first science museum in Hokkaido, reaching one million visitors by 1974 before closing on March 31, 2021.

The museum maintained strong connections with Muroran Institute of Technology, organizing robot soccer tournaments that attracted students from elementary through middle schools.

The museum operated from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM between March and October, and until 4:00 PM from November to February, with different admission fees for adults and students.

The facility featured a greenhouse and wild plant garden where visitors could observe different plant species throughout the seasons, along with solar panels for energy generation.
