Fukuoka City Science Museum

The Fukuoka City Science Museum is a science museum in Ropponmatsu featuring multiple floors with sections dedicated to physics, chemistry, biology, and technological advances. Interactive exhibits allow visitors to engage with concepts through hands-on experimentation.

The museum opened in October 2017 as a major step forward in science education facilities for the Fukuoka prefecture. Since then, it has become a central hub for scientific learning in the region.

The museum integrates Japanese scientific achievements into its displays, showing how innovation connects to everyday life. You can explore how local researchers and engineers have contributed to modern technology.

The museum is easily accessible from Exit 3 of Ropponmatsu Station and is located at a central address in the neighborhood. Plan enough time to explore all floors, as the exhibitions offer plenty to discover.

The building houses a large planetarium with a dome theater and digital surround projection on one of the upper levels. This feature brings stargazing and space exploration together with modern technology in an unexpected way.
