Kanagawa Institute of Technology Atsugi Children's Science Museum

The Kanagawa Institute of Technology Atsugi Children's Science Museum is a science venue for young learners located in a city building in Naka-chō. The exhibition space includes hands-on stations where visitors can explore different scientific concepts and phenomena.

This facility was established in the 1980s and later received a major update with new equipment and technology. The renovation added improved systems for viewing astronomical displays and demonstrations.

The space shows how science learning connects to everyday life for young people through hands-on exploration. Visitors can see how knowledge is shared through experimentation and group discovery rather than passive instruction.

The museum is open on most days, and you can move around freely to explore different areas at your own pace. Some activities and demonstrations may require waiting time, especially during weekends and busy periods.

The facility features a large dome planetarium where visitors can watch presentations about stars and space. This dome experience stands out as something different from the regular exhibition areas.
