Visited with my 12yo, while there were some interesting bits esp at the 5th floor (science area), overall the place is much more suited to younger kids.

We brought our young toddler here and he had a blast! While there were certain activities he could not participate in due to age and height restrictions, there were so many other activities for him. He especially enjoyed the bubble area (bring spare clothes as they may get wet). We saw many older kids enjoying themselves too. It's very well maintained and clean. Definitely a must visit if you have kids.
Tip: if you're planning to spend a couple of hours, go in the afternoon. We arrived around 2:30pm and was pleased to find out the tickets were discounted.
loads of activities for kids to do. We easily spent a number of hours here. The only con is that adults need to pay as well, when its entirely a kids activity.
A must visit if you have young (pri sch or younger) kids. Very large two story play area, many interactive and fun scientific exhibits (physics and biology from what I remember), a 'kidzania' style pretend job area, a great cultural interactive area with cultures from around the world (musical instruments, spinning tops), a mini tv studio, and a two story slide. The staff were also very helpful and involved - they often jumped in to show off how to play certain stations or encourage kids to do certain activities. Enormously fun, and you can reenter with the same ticket on the same day. It's just off the Tenshinbashisuji shopping street, so you can pop out to have lunch and go back in for the second half of the day. There's also a huge outdoors playground just next to it at Ogimachi park (sand surface, multiple slides) so definitely recommend a whole day out in the area. And not crowded with tourists either! We did encounter several local primary schools doing outings in the morning we were there but didn't quite mind the noise and chaos, the place was big enough to still enjoy yourself with many other kids around!
When we were planning our trip to Osaka, Kids' Plaza Osaka was a place which we wanted to get a look at and which we wanted our 6 year old to visit. It is situated in an office building with the Kids' Plaza Osaka taking up three floors. When you've bought your ticket, you can go out and come back in as many times as you like during the course of the day. Just be mindful that the place closes down at 4.30 PM.
Kids' Plaza Osaka describes itself as a museum though perhaps an educational playground is more like it. It encourages interests in science with displays that double as an experiment. A skeleton display encourages the child to place the bones in the proper location while another display, with the assistance of an attendant, places a child in the middle of a bubble. Cultural awareness is also encouraged with musical instruments from various other countries being put on display.
It's a great place that mixes education and play. Worth a visit.
Great family fun for both kids and parents! Spacious, with individual floor for activities ranging from art classes to adventure indoor playground to infant child exploration, a mini library and scientific educational fun and learning sounds making from various countries to studio video making! Easily you can spend 2-3 hours there!!!
This is a awesome place to bring the kids along to. They will have so much fun by themselves exploring and trying to understand each segment. They will learn physics, mechanics, creativity, sound, educational fun, adventure, nature, body science and video making. The respective segment advisors there are pretty attentive to your needs and friendly too.
We observed they have young schools kids coming in for excursion fun so it must be a meaningful place for them here!
It is very near and within walking distance from Ogimachi station (take the brown K Sakaisuji Line).
So go on have fun, and bring your children to this lovely place..
