    The Nagoya City Science Museum is definitely a must-visit family attraction in Nagoya that you'll regret missing. You can spend half a day here with your kids. The entire museum offers hands-on exhibits that you can touch and operate to experience science firsthand. There's no need to worry if you can't read Japanese—the activities are simple and easy to figure out, and kids are sure to love them. The most memorable exhibit was the tornado generator, which can create a tornado 2–3 floors high. Combined with the sound and lighting effects, it makes for a very immersive experience. Keep in mind that there is no food available for purchase inside the museum, so you can bring some bread and snacks to eat in the rest area and recharge. After leaving the museum, there's also a nice dessert shop across the street directly opposite the spherical building that is well worth visiting.
