One of the best places to visit in Osaka with kids is EXPOCITY, found within Expo Park, the grounds of the 1970 World Expo. If you’re looking to do a small day trip from Osaka with family – this is the perfect place to spend the day exploring family-friendly attractions.
EXPOCITY can be reached by train, it’s roughly an hour north from Osaka. It’s an EPIC outdoor entertainment, dining and shopping complex that’s home to the TeamLab-like NIFREL Aquazoo, Lalaport shopping mall, Gundam Cafe, CNN Cafe, a huge park that’s a hot spot for cherry blossom viewing in early spring, VS Park arcade and sports centre, the Redhorse Osaka Ferris Wheel, and *drum rolls* Japan’s first KFC buffet restaurant. It will also be the venue of the 2020 Strider Cup.
We spent an entire day exploring the nooks and crannies of Expo Park – one of the best things to do in Osaka with kids. By the end of the day, we had only gotten around to 9 of Expo Park’s best Osaka attractions – we definitely needed more time to stroll through the Expo 1970 Commemorative Park to get a closer view of the iconic Tower of the Sun monument. Oh well, next time.
We highly recommend EXPOCITY as one of the best places to visit in Osaka for families – kids will love roaming through the Gundam Cafe at Gundam Square, jumping on the toddler-friendly rides at ANIPO animal amusement park, and of course, dining at Osaka’s KFC buffet restaurant.
