National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo
Located in Ueno Park, this is the only national comprehensive science museum focusing on natural history and the history of science and technology.
What a pleasant surprise! Especially on a chilly, gloomy day. The 360-degree theater alone is worth the ticket price—the screen is a sphere that goes from top to bottom! There’s a huge collection of animal fossils and even the first quartz watch! Our kids loved it. Great spot to visit while shopping.
