    Also in the park is the zoo. Entrance fee is 500 Yen / 150 Yen for children. The zoo is open from 9:30 - 17:00. closed on monday.
    There are some modern exhibits, like the one about africa. And we think it is a nice place to visit with children.

    Some 360° pictures can be seen on this website: http://violet.imedio.or.jp/cgi-bin/VR_ENG.cgi?ACTION=MAP&FIELD=tennoji

    castle: One of the many Japanese Castles

  • OSAKA CASTLE Central Tower - Osaka
    OSAKA CASTLE Central Tower
    by KevinMichael
    Japan has many Japanese Castles. They differ greatly from the European kind but are grand in the immensity of their moats. However, the central castles themselves tend to be quite small.

    Someday I hope to see them all. The castles
    are rich in history. It should be noted that photography is absolutely prohibited inside some areas of the castles you may visit.

    It's open from 9am to 5pm ( the last admission to the Central Tower at the Castle is no later than 4:30pm)

    Karaoke in tennoji park.
    by tompt
    Try to visit the park on a sunday afternoon. There are some stalls set up along the main road where you can enjoy the singing of amateurs. It is all very low class but Karaoke is the word in Tennoji park on a sunday.

    museums: The Science Museum

  • "Taking it all in with an old
    friend"
    by PartyRambo
    Back in Toronto where I grew up, is the Ontario Science Centre, globally recognized as perhaps the finest (and first!) facility of its kind in the world.
    As a kid, I was constantly fascinated by the hands-on approach to learning, as the exhibits offered fun & information at the same time.
    It helped that the founder of the centre was a friend of my grandparents, so my brother & I occasionally got in free (!)
    I don't believe that learning ever ends. There's always something new to discover, and it can't hurt to refresh yourself on the basics once in a while... true, if you're a rocket scientist, it might be somewhat boring...
    I therefore have a fondness for science museums in general, and 'hands-on' places in particular, and headed out one day for Osaka's entry - opened in october 1989, the hall contains 230 exhibits, the world's largest domed planetarium screen, and the world's largest image system, the OMNIMAX.

  • "Do you have change for a
    200-lb slab of granite?"
    by PartyRambo
    The Daiwa Bank Money Museum is free admission, and naturally, concentrates on the history of Japanese currency, but is nevertheless an interesting exhibit, worth a half-hour or so if you're nearby with nothing to do.
    -see my travelogue.

  • One of Osaka's leading large-scale multipurpose facilities. The site is divided into three areas: a fun area to shop for outlet and other goods; a fun area for meals and amusements; and a large exhibition space.
