Osaka Science Museum: exhibits and planetarium tickets
Exhibition and planetarium tickets are separate. If you want a show, choose its start time first and fit the exhibits around it: late entry is not allowed.
Official information reviewedWhere should I start?
The exhibition is free through junior-high age, but a free admission ticket is required. Planetarium age bands and prices are separate.
Planning this outing
For a rainy day, leave a break between exhibits and the show instead of stacking indoor venues. Exhibition-only admission is an option if a long seated show does not suit your child.
Questions before you go
Can children enter without a ticket?
The exhibition is free through junior-high age, but a free admission ticket is required. Planetarium age bands and prices are separate.
Can I enter the planetarium late?
No entry is allowed after a show begins. Shows run about 45 minutes; finish toilet and feeding breaks beforehand.
When should I check online tickets?
The official guide lists sales from seven days ahead, with planetarium online sales closing one hour before the show. Read change and refund conditions before buying.
