Toyama City Science Museum
A museum where you can learn about natural science and space in a fun way.
Located in the heart of Toyama City, the Toyama City Science Museum is a museum that gently spreads the joy of science through Toyama's nature and the everyday wonders of the world.
The museum offers a wealth of exhibits that clearly explain the topography, climate, and the lives of various creatures, allowing visitors to learn through seeing and touching. Adults alike will find themselves captivated by a "time of discovery."
In the first-floor renovation in March 2026, we added new exhibits that adults can enjoy, such as a display of beautiful rocks and fossils, a skeleton of an armored dinosaur, and a projection mapping device that teaches about the Earth.
The planetarium inside the building boasts a beautiful starry sky recreated with approximately 1 million stars and impressive full-dome projections.
In addition to viewing seasonal constellations and the latest images of the universe, you can enjoy a variety of programs in a relaxed dome setting, from children's animations to science programs for adults.
This science museum is perfect for family outings or for enjoying some alone time to relax.
