We had three hours to spend and were looking for something to keep our 8 year old occupied. When we asked what she was looking for, she said, “something with fossils, dinosaurs, early humans.” Hmmmm...check, check, and check. There was something for all of us to enjoy. Some exhibits were only in Japanese but many had English translations or were self explanatory. Kids had free admission. Worth a stop!

This is not so easy to find but is a great place to visit as it is interactive and fun for all ages - do go in as even though a lot of the outside is in Japanese, it is free to enter and one can interact with the robots that are generally used for other tasks in the real world, such as car manufacture or medicines and travel in a VR reality as well! The staff are really friendly and we came away with portraits drawn by a robot as well - all free of charge! Definitely recommended Enjoy

This is an interesting museum, I enjoyed most of the exhibits and hands on activities. Though my kids, 5 and 3, are still too young to understand real science, they still enjoyed the visit. Maybe when they are old enough to understand the descriptions, we can visit again.
8. Meguro Parasitological Museum
Overall Ratings

The Meguro Parasitological Museum is a private research facility that was established in 1953 with the private funds of a medical doctor, Satoru Kamegai. The museum exhibits about 300 parasite specimens and related material. On the first floor we present the "Diversity of Parasites" displaying various types of parasitic specimens with accompanying educational movies. The second floor exhibits are "Human and Zoonotic Parasites" showing parasite lifecycles and the symptoms they cause during human infection. In addition to research, the museum also performs other activities such as education and provides special publications. The museum has been admission free since it was established. However, running the museum has become more costly, and donations from individuals and corporations provide us with an invaluable financial resource. Therefore, your contribution is essential and will be very much appreciated.

Don't skip this Free museum of weird parasites in glass tubes on display. By the stairs going to 2nd floor make sure you look at the picture book. Only some things are labeled in English but it's still an hourlong tour. The famous 8 meter tape worm is upstairs along with the chigger mite in wax. From the JR Yamanote line to Meguro, take the west exit and walk 1 km . It's up hill from Otori -jinja mae bus stop on the ground floor of apartment building. Lots of locals were headed for it also so you can always ask. T shirts and key chains are for sale upstairs.

We found this museum to be a fun and educative experience for our kids, aged 7 and 9. Brochure available in English. Interactive activities and a short film which we all enjoyed. Close to other activities. Allow about an hour.

Located in Miraikan, 2 Chome-3-6 Aomi, Koto City, Tokyo, Japan on what appears to be reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay is this amazing museum and research centre covering 7 levels of working and static displays of technology and innovation. Entering on level 6 the first thing one sees is a real rocket engine (with the bonnet off), three generations of super high frequency receivers, a massive photo multiplier arrangement (you can walk through it) studying Neutrinos (A neutrino is a subatomic particle that is very similar to an electron, but has no electrical charge and a very small mass). There is a model of a bathyscape like submarine and a full size model of the Space station that you can walk through and see all the amenities within.. Further down the hall is a large earth sphere with thousands of little TV screens; the view is what the space station “sees” in real time and it changes as the space station circles the earth. There is a circular walkway around the earth sphere so you can “simulate” yourself as being the space station. On another floor there are the robotics displays; from a human robot (a fully clothed one disguised as a Geisha) to little autonomous single person ride-on vehicles. Another area has a medical operating theatre with remote mechanical arms and a TV screen showing the efforts being made. The kids have a great time trying to break the (artificial) vein in the grip of the robotic pliers. One of the most significant finds is actually outside the museum; it is a Cosmic Yakusugi cedar tree, one of five to survive from 2000 seeds germinated on the space station by a Japanese astronaut and donated to the museum. One thing to remember; when purchasing entry tickets, they cover only the permanent exhibition. There was a special exhibition on Woolly Mammoths which required a separate ticket, so if you go, remember to ask if there are any other tickets required for special exhibitions.
