Fukui Prefectural Science Museum for Children

Fukui Prefectural Science Museum for Children, Children's science museum in Sakai, Fukui Prefecture, Japan

The Fukui Prefectural Science Museum for Children, nicknamed Angel Land Fukui, opened on 1 June 1999 in the town of Harue, Sakai, Fukui Prefecture. It combines a children's hall and a science museum in a main building and an annex, with outdoor play equipment and a plaza. Its areas include a play zone, a center zone with a planetarium, and an exhibition zone whose Geo Angel is a 3 m by 7 m screen.

The Fukui Prefectural Science Museum for Children opened on 1 June 1999 in Harue, Sakai. Astronaut Mamoru Mohri became honorary director because his father came from the area. The exhibition area closed from 11 April 2016 and reopened on 22 October 2016 after renovation. The facility won a JCD Design Award in 2000 and appeared in the 2001 Architectural Institute of Japan selected works.

The nickname "Angel Land Fukui" comes from the facility's angel-themed name, and the honorary director is astronaut Mamoru Mohri, whose father was from this area. The site also serves as a base for local boys' and girls' clubs and as a play area for children of the region.

The museum is in Harue-cho Higashitaromaru, Sakai, Fukui Prefecture, not Sakai, Osaka. From Fukui Station take Keifuku Bus line 25 (Angel Land line) or 28 to the "Angel Land Fukui" stop. Alternatively, walk about 15 minutes from Taromaru Angel Land Station on the Echizen Railway Mikuni-Awara Line, or about 20 minutes from Harue Station on the Hapi Line Fukui.

The honorary director is astronaut Mamoru Mori, appointed because his father came from this area of Sakai. The nickname "Angel Land Fukui" is used for the whole complex, which combines a children's hall with a science museum.
