Kids Plaza Osaka — Attraction in Osaka

I came here twice last year as I got a free ticket for adding them as a LINE friend.

The lift on the first floor will bring you right up to the fifth floor, and from here, whichever floor you go to is all fun, fun, and more fun.

This place has so many fun activities that my kid had difficulties plucking herself off when it was time to leave.

My kid especially loved the supermarket because she got a chance to select whatever items she wanted and to scan the items one by one. She "bought" a lot of things and collected a lot of receipts.

Using the wind blower to guide the ball through the loops was also fun. It wasn't as easy as it looked as it involved a lot of coordination.

My child also enjoyed putting on the various ethnic costumes in the room.

There's a long slide here that other kids enjoy but unfortunately, it closes at 2:00pm, even though the plaza itself closes at 5:00pm, and I wonder why.

For me, I like the musical section as I got to play different instruments from throughout the world.

I also like that they have free lockers and various tables and chairs for us to sit down and eat our snacks without having to leave the venue and without having to fight for a seat.

This attraction starts to play its closing hour song 1 hour before they close. So we listened to it ad nauseum over the 2 days that we were there.

On our last visit, we went to play with the red colored balls on the 5th floor at about 4:50pm.

A male elderly volunteer came up to us with an angry face and told us to proceed to the exit RIGHT NOW.

His attitude spoiled what would otherwise be a fun day for us. Originally I wanted to give this place a five-star rating, but because of his bad attitude, I...

This seemed to be the perfect place for kids with a lot of energy.

At first, they were amazed of the size of the building. Three floors with activities?!

It only took them an hour to get through everything. I was a little bit worried that this was it. That they would get bored.

The third floor for example, only had two active rooms. The rest were closed. And the ones that were opened were not that special to be honest...

Like, sit and "paint" on computers... Hmm...

So we were mostly focusing on the other two floors, and they were a hit! The kids seemed to find new things to play with and try out every time, even if we had already been in that area.

There are a lot of restrooms, that are tidy and clean. There's a food area, but no restaurant. Don't forget to bring something to drink and eat if you want to last a couple of hours. There are some vending machines tho, if you're thirsty.

It was almost empty around 12 on a weekday. A little bit more crowded around 14, but still OK.

Parents should not treat this place like a kindergarten. Please keep an eye on your kids. Some didn't, so some kids were rude and cut in line.

Staff were friendly, playful and helpful.

We stayed for four hours, and the kids loved every single minute!

It was 1400 Yen for adults and 800 Yen for kids....

This is a great place for the 3-8 yrs old age group. For 1400 Yen for Adults and 500 - 800 Yen for kids, this is great value. This children's attraction is massive and covers 3 levels. There are tons of hands on creative play activities spread out through a massive space. Educational opportunities are available as well for the older end of visitor with books and video offerings that allow interested kids to learn more. For the busy little guys who just want to move, they can touch, bang and grab all kinds of hands-on items like drums, bubble blowing, building items etc. I was so impressed with the variety of fun stations for kids to interact with. If your little one likes pretend play they can enjoy the kids grocery store where they can really "check out" their items, or a play food cart area, or a school, or even make real recordings in an actual "tv studio"! The center of the building features a massive "treehouse" to climb and run around, complete with two story slide. There are staff members at every station to ensure smooth operation of each section, and the facility is mainly staffed by older folk who clearly love playing with the kids. We don't speak Japanese but still had a fun and easy time here. If you in Osaka with kids, make...
