Saitama Museum of Rivers, Yorii-machi

Fun place for kids , mostly to visit during warm season

Fantastic outing during the summer. Lots for the kids to do. The water adventure playground is really fun for the kids. They have set times that you can enter for 50 minutes at a go. Its just enough time for smaller children. The museum usually has some sort of free event, such as colouring or making something. The turtles in the small aquarium are free to hold as are the zarigani. They put in a climbing wall this year. We have yet to do the simulated ride as you can't go on with babies, but I have heard that kids love that too. Reasonably priced. You can bring your own food in and there is also eateries on the grounds.
