shooting off cannons, playing in dancing waters and getting lost. As an
adult, it's a really cool place to explore and yes, play with stuff. There
is a big wooden ship moored at the dock, with cannons pointed out into the
lagoon that really fire... if your definition of fire is a lot of smoke and
sound effects. On 4 attempts I was unable to sink any of the passing
Steamer boats. There are several rooms to explore with various renaissance
era science exhibits. All of these are set up beautifully and with great
attention to detail. Most are pretty fun as well. In the Chamber of
Planets there is a very large model of the solar system with individual
cranks for each planet. Turn the crank and your planet moves along it's
orbit. In another room, the Navigation Centre, for 100 yen you can play
with RC sailing ships, moving them around a cool island filled ocean.
Watch out for the whirlpools! There is a fantastic Pendulum, a Camera
Obscura beaming images of the Harbor into it's tower, and other neat
exhibits. The Sundial Tower was broken though, we couldn't tell the time
from it and got soaked walking up there in the rain :-). They passed out
maps of the place (bilingual yay), and looking back at it now, it appears we
missed some stuff. Even though the place was fairly deserted, we spent
about an hour and a half playing around here. It would have been a drag if
it had been crowded.
