Based on the concept that "understanding and creation begin with surprise," Wonder Museum is a facility filled with "excitement," "thrill," and "wonder."
The "Ball Climber," which uses two ropes to reach a goal, seems simple enough to balance a ball on the rope and move it, but when you actually try it, it is difficult, and children seemed to do better than the adults.
The "Gear Puzzle," a creative activity that allows children to learn about the movement of gears and the flow of force, allows them to place gears freely and combine them in any number of ways to create their own puzzle.
Children grow by touching, feeling, and noticing things on their own. The exhibition includes programs to enhance independence and imagination.
Although booths using the latest technology are conspicuous, many of the actual experiences are simple, analog, and intuitively created to be felt with the body.
We invite everyone from young children to the elderly to come and experience the fun for the whole family.
In addition, exhibitions, events, and special workshops are held monthly. Please visit Okinawa Zoo & Museum website for more details.
