Museum Visit


The children had yet another day off school today in lieu of going to school on Saturday to prepare for the sports day (don't even get me started on this!) so we headed off on the train to Kitakyushu to go to what turned out to be a great museum. To be honest I am not really a museum kind of person, but this "Museum of Natural history and Human history" was well worth the trip. Great exhibits and enough for the kids to "touch" to make it easy to spend a few hours wandering around. Of course the kids best memory was probably the donuts on the train on the way home, but I personally loved the "dinosaur show" complete with lightening and a volcanic eruption. Definitely a place to go back to in the near future.

  2. Hi Illahee,
    Yes, it is right beside space world and MUCH cheaper! Only 200 yen for the kids and 500 yen for adults. Really worth a trip.
