Hokkaido Official Tourism Site HOKKAIDO LOVE!

As Hokkaido's largest science center, Sci-Pal invites visitors to explore the three themes of the North Country, Earth, and the Cosmos through immersive, hands-on exhibits that spark a sense of wonder.

Step inside to ignite your intellectual curiosity with world-class attractions. In the Space Section, you will find the "Space Gyro"—a three-axis rotating machine modeled after NASA training equipment. Feel the thrill of unpredictable movement and a unique sense of weightlessness as your body spins in every direction. For a literal spring in your step, the "Moon Jump" replicates lunar gravity, allowing you to experience the incredible lightness of jumping at about 1/6 of Earth's gravity.

The journey continues with sensory wonders in the North Country Section. Enter the "Low-Temperature Environment Lab" to feel the biting chill of -20°C and witness the shimmering, magical beauty of "diamond dust" ice crystals. For a moment of tranquility, visit the massive 18m dome planetarium. Equipped with a precision Carl Zeiss projector, it envelops you in a velvet-black sky filled with thousands of twinkling stars. Don't miss the observatory, where a powerful 65cm aperture telescope offers a rare chance to gaze directly at distant planets—an enchanting experience that captivates both children and adults alike.
