Itami City Children's Cultural Science Museum - Itami

It's a small planetarium, but I was happy enough to see it with my kids. However, when I went to Asaichi on a holiday afternoon, the tickets for the day were sold out, so I decided to go get the tickets again in the morning ... Also, since there is no parking lot, it is necessary to use the parking lot of the nearby Itami Sky Park, but on holidays it is also full, so I think it is better to use the bus. By the way, there is no upper limit on the parking lot of Sky Park.

We know that one planetarium is included, but the entrance fee of 400 yen is subtle. (Because you can receive a supermarket-like receipt instead of an admission ticket stub, you can re-enter it if you show it.) The hall is narrow and there is no one other than the reception of the planetarium and the entrance. It can be seen that the ISS of the planning exhibition is having a hard time knowing that there is no budget. Is it appealing that you can see the early planetarium (a copy of the Astroliner) created by Ohira Giken's Mega Star 2B and Mr. Ohira? (Visited 20.19.03.25) (201.04.21 added) It has been added because it is quite critical content. The exhibits on the ground floor, probably made in the bubble era, are retro-style that feels like the times, and for adults who know the air of the times rather than for children. Unfortunately, the planetarium sees the light of the projector's lens so it's bothersome depending on the situation during projection. From JR Itami Station, walk through the Aeon Mall and walk along a large road for about 15 minutes. From the observation deck on the roof, you can see planes flying to and from Itami Airport, so the waiting time for the planetarium does not bother you. Be careful because there are few pedestrian crossings if you do not move to the opposite lane towards Aeon Mall early on your way home on foot. (201.04.26 revisited and added) The facility in the bubble era is exactly what opened in 1990. I heard that the planetarium had clouds, so I went to see it again, but when the sun goes down, the brightness of the sky is uneven and it is not noticeable. After the projection, I asked the staff and said, "Are you aware?" When passing through the Aeon Mall from JR Itami Station, you can enter the elevated from JR and exit smoothly from the 24th exit on the left, so it is convenient for you to get out on the road. There is a vending machine for discounted tickets next to Kansai Super at JR Itami West Exit, so it might be good to stop by for a return.

I go to see the twilight screening on Saturday once a month to see only the planetarium. I'm looking forward to it every time because I'm not doing anything that is free and fixed. I go so often that I want an annual pass. To be honest, I would like you to set an age limit for the Twilight screening. There are many times when children's voices are noisy even though they want to look at the night sky quietly. I want you to be a junior high school student or older. In today's screening, the time of the starry sky seen in the dark was short. More than half under the city lights ... I personally want to see a lot of stars.

The planetarium was a masterpiece! The narrator also speaks comfortably, and as an adult, I fall asleep deeply ... lol The children were watching it well. There were other activities and a playground like a fair, so the children seemed to have fun.

What surprised me was that the admission fee was 400 yen for adults and 100 yen for children, but the planetarium one-time viewing fee was included! !! It's too cheap The planetarium projector here is called Megastar, and it seems that the company involved in the development of home star for home planetarium is manufactured. There are some parts of the facility that make the exhibits look old, but I wonder if it is enough to play with children for several hours. Various craft kits are sold near the entrance, and there is also an assembly corner. In case of car, please use the parking lot of Itami Sky Park You can also enjoy taking off and landing planes!

I went there in March 2022. The price is 400 yen for adults and 100 yen for infants (3 years old to preschoolers) including one planetarium appreciation. This planetarium can be taken with a smartphone until it is performed. Use is prohibited during the performance. There is an observatory on the roof, overlooking Osaka International Airport. It wasn't very crowded, so I think it's okay to go if you think about it on the day. Most of the customers are with children, but there were also a few couples.
