Osaka Museum of Natural History (大阪市立自然史博物館)

Experience and learn about the natural world at this 2-story museum in Nagai Park. Step into the exhibition halls where life-like models of the Naumann elephant, Yabe giant elk, and every kind of dinosaur skeleton you can imagine tower overhead. Roam through exhibits of tiny insects, awesome sea creatures, and earth minerals in every color of the rainbow. Hands-on exhibits are scattered throughout the museum and one specific exhibition room is dedicated to hands-on learning. Admission to the adjacent Nagai Botanical Gardens is included in museum admission so plan time to stroll through floral gardens and around the pond during your visit. Rotating food trucks and picnic tables are located near the museum entrance.
