EigoPro 準2級 読解 — Hoshino Science Museum Guide

Welcome to the Hoshino Science Museum The Hoshino Science Museum is one of the largest science museums in the country, with five floors of hands-on exhibits. Whether you are five or fifty, there is something here to amaze you. This guide will help you plan a perfect visit. Floor Guide The first floor is all about space. Visitors can sit inside a real spacecraft model and feel what it is like to look down at the Earth. The second floor explores the human body; you can walk through a giant model of a heart. On the third floor, young children can build bridges and dams with water in the popular "Engineer's Playground." The fourth floor changes every season. This month, it features a special exhibit on deep-sea creatures. The fifth floor is a quiet library and a café with a beautiful view of the city. Special Shows The planetarium on the first floor offers three shows a day, at 11 a.m., 2 p.m., and 4 p.m. Each show lasts about 40 minutes. Seats are limited, so we recommend getting a free ticket from the front desk when you arrive. The 4 p.m. show is often full by lunchtime. Tickets and Hours The museum is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday to Sunday. It is closed on Mondays, except on national holidays. Tickets cost ¥1,200 for adults, ¥600 for students, and are free for children under six. A family ticket (two adults and up to three children) is ¥3,000 — a great deal for larger families. Helpful Tips Lockers are available near the entrance for ¥100 (the coin is returned when you finish). Photography is allowed everywhere except in the planetarium. Most exhibits have explanations in English and Japanese, and free guided tours in English start at 10:30 a.m. on weekends.
