PLAY! — Attraction in Tokyo

It’s a nice spacious museum in a good family friendly area.

We enjoyed the Oni exhibition on the very last day. My qualm was, the staffs were not accommodating. My daughter was seen with a lollipop stick and was looking for a bin to throw it, the staff was too rigid about her “eating”, and I explained to her she wasn’t. She even typed on a translator to explain to me over and over, which irked us off. It was rather insulting really. The other incidence was my kid wanted to watch the short films while I was browsing the souvenir shop, merely few steps away but another staff insisted she should be under supervision. This is the part where I’d suggest a better training should be provided. If the exhibition or place is meant for families, do understand the ages between kids. Above 7 yrs old, kids are independent enough to see some films by themselves. My kid asked my permission to watch by herself but she wasn’t allowed to. How is this supposed to help with kids’ independence skill?

And us parents were literally there in another section.

This should be handled more knowingly with better human/body language skills.

The staffs at the cafe were more...

The art itself is interactive and well laid out in a compact space; the exhibition project for September 2025 is the "Great Thief Exhibition. Stone. The exhibition features a collection of thieves from all over the world, ancient and modern. It is a good opportunity to recall the picture books you...

Play Park: One the most creative art playgrounds I've visited in Tokyo! It's very teamlab-like creative open play, made of recycled bubble wrap. There are swings and it feels like a giant ball pit for the kids but not. There's also a babies corner that's suitable for 3 and below, including a diaper changing area. There is also a music corner and an art video exhibition. Workshops are available for an additional fee.

Note: the museum and playground are two separate...
