What travelers are saying
- Ms30Canada35 contributionsWe weren't sure what to expect specifically, but so glad we went.
Our family learned a lot about the history and got to play in the interactive portion of the museum.
The displays and machinary were impressive. Overall, we recommend it!Written July 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Make sure to know the schedule so you know where to go at what time so you don’t miss something you’d like to see
Beluga training and Dolphins was the best, you can get really close to them and they’re so cute!
There is a mini mall with food court next building l, prices are reasonable. Best is, their place is really near train station. They also have several parking spaces if you bring your car.Written July 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We spent around an hour+ here touring the old trains to the current Shinkansen, playing with simulators and learning how the modern high-speed rails can travel at such fast speed. There are plenty of seats around so visitors can take their breather if required. Worth it if you could slot it into your itinerary!Written May 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- geo3Calgary, Canada1,598 contributionsSuch a great variety of shops! Some good bakeries (which I ended up patronizing) and great eating places, plus almost everything you could think of for sale. There aren't many chain stores, which was one of the things that made this area so interesting.
I normally don't like shopping, but this was interesting and fun.
Easy to get to from the Osukan subway station.Written July 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

But the queue is not very long, we manage to ride many rides in the park. We are a bit disspointed as there is no ninjago live show which our kids hoping for.
But overall we still enjoy our time there.
On the souvenier store, its good if they have more variety which is specifically for Legoland Japan so it feels more exclusive for the visitor.
We love the Lego factory tour.
It is about 30 minutes from JR nagoya station to the legoland.Written March 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

All of them are so big in size!Written June 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- kumi L107 contributionsWe went with our teen child (13 y/o) and the entrance for her was free, which it was unexpected.
They had like 4 different prices depending on what you want to do (simple visit to the permanent exhibition, planetarium, and other two prices with special activities)
I was surprise that my teen daughter (13 years old) was free to enter. We got the tickets that includes the planetarium. It costs 800yen for adults. If you go with a senior, I think you also have discounts. Ask anyways!
The planetarium is nice. We didn’t understand anything because it was in Japanese but it’s well done. The voice of the lady explaining everything was like a white noise. The temperature was perfect, the chairs are like business class airplane seats and they also turn about 40 degrees to the sides. We saw a lot of people sleeping there! It was relaxing. Don’t take little kids there.
The planetarium part lasts about 40 to 50mim.
The permanent exhibition was also nice. We spent around 3 hours in the museum THINGS I WISH THEY HAVE:
- I know that what they said in the planetarium changes depending on the time and dates, but it would be nice to have not a translation (because that would be imposible) but at least general information with some subtitles. They lady in the ticket did mention tho, that there is not translation. It was a relaxing time anyways. We went in January so it was very cold outside and very cozy in the planetarium.
- I think the permanente exhibition could easily have translation at least in English. This exhibition doesn’t change in years and it would benefit even international students studying in nagoya.Written July 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is also a good restaurant nearby to dine with Noritake tableware.Written April 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- thelonious22Seongnam4,387 contributionsTokugawa-en Garden can be visited for a few hundred yen more along with a visit to the museum. While the landscape doesn't measure up to some of Japan's better known gardens, It's still quite pleasant to walk around the lakes and waterfalls.Written January 27, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Makoto Y5 contributionsIt is a place where you can enjoy a sense of open-air in the center of Nagoya.
On sunny days, look at the beautiful ripples projected on the buildings.Written May 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is no surprise considering the fact that Nagoya is a sister city of Paris. It is not very tall but gives you a pretty good view over Nagoya city. In the nights, it shines in various colors and allows you to take beautiful pictures with the background of Sakae downtown.Written February 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Laguapa0310Nagoya, Japan2 contributions山崎川の両岸が桜並木になっています。名古屋市内には桜の名所がいくつもありますが、ここは昔から定評のあるところです。気持ちのよい春の夕暮れにそぞろ歩くのにぴったりです。地下鉄桜通線・瑞穂区役所駅からの道は、途中にも桜がたくさんあるのでお花見気分が続きます。
Cherry blossoms are beautiful all day long. Twilight walk on the riverside of Yamazaki river is recommended.Written December 11, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

But it was too hot so we left only after a while.Written July 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JapanTessJapan666 contributionsDon't go here expecting to spend half a day, and don't expect an aquarium on the scale of the other one in Nagoya, or the famous one in Osaka, for example. With expectations in check, this is an excellent little aquarium, with a big focus on education about the sea, pollution, and sea life.
They sell activity packs for just 500yen (in Japanese or English), which added a lot to the experience.
Among the exhibits were some amazing seahorses, clown fish, and moray eels. Sea Life Nagoya is tied to Legoland, so it was also full of Lego models which made it even more interesting.
It took around half an hour to go through the aquarium, and then a while was spent in the final area where you can color in sea creatures and then watch them come to life on the wall, which was fun.
Finally, there is a gift shop, which you can only enter from the aquarium, which sells Sea Life souvenirs, animal toys, and some Lego sets, so be sure to look around and not miss anything before you leave.
It is well worth getting the combination ticket of Legoland and Sea Life Nagoya.Written September 5, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
