Excellent indoor facility for children to role play different occupations and earn kidzo (currency that can be used in all Kidzania outlets globally). It is located in a shopping mall and near to Toyosu station. Staff are friendly, helpful and patient, and they make instructions very simple for kids (young kids or kids who don’t speak Japanese) to follow. You can check in (best to buy tickets online before visiting) at the counter before the shift starts (2 shifts per day: 9am to 3pm and 4pm to 9pm) and you will be given a queue number card for entering. You can start to queue 45 minutes before the shift starts at the stipulated queue spot according to your queue number and admission begins around 30 minutes before the shift starts. Once inside, it is best to go to the popular activities (Nintendo, candy factory, pilot) to make a reservation so that you can come back for that activity later at the reserved time. You can only make the next reservation after you have finished the first reserved activity. In the meantime, You can do other jobs that are available (refer to the timing information displayed at each activity). For the theatre events, there’s only 1 session per event(example, there’s only 1 wedding ceremony per shift) so you might want to reserve for a particular type of theatre activity that your child really wants to do. Kidzania Tokyo does not use the B.Kidzania PaZZport so you cannot collect stamps in your PaZZport here. Instead they use the job reservations card and they give out a job card at the end of each completed activity, which is quite a nice collectible. They also have professionally taken photos of your child for certain activities that are printed out and displayed near the entrance and you can choose which one you will like to purchase. (Wish they can be more environmentally friendly though!) They have some F&B outlets for food and drinks purchases, with lots of seatings around. There’s also a parents lounge for parents to relax in. We went for the Speak English Wednesday 2nd shift event, and we heard from the staff that the speak English events are usually not as crowded. Overall it’s a unique and fun place for kids to try different jobs activity.

The 3rd floor math museum/hall was great. Wonderful tech and we stayed here all morning. Kids enjoyed it, as did I! Worth the admission price - gives you a taste of future tech that could be used to teach math and science. 2nd floor had a Nintendo demo hall where kids could play for 10 minutes at a time and some free exhibits. All were great. We actually thought this was much better than the other science museums in Tokyo. Went on a weekday morning and it was pretty empty. 1st floor under renovation for exhibits related to the Olympics, but those looked inspiring as well.

We always make sure to stop in Odaiba to see the 1:1 Gundam every time we go to Japan. From the classic RX-78 to the current Unicorn I do feel this is landmark of Japan loved by the people who live there and foreigners alike. This should clearly be on the list for people who like anime, robots, science fiction, etc - but I would say there's a good chance anyone would enjoy seeing something like this come to life. It's a work of art. Relatively quick to get to from multiple train stops, and the Diver City mall is quite extensive with a good food court as well.
