teamLab Planets TOKYO
SaveA digital art museum in Toyosu that you enter barefoot and walk through water.
You are inside the works: koi cross the water you stand in, knee deep on an adult in places.
MoreWhat kind of place
teamLab Planets opened in July 2018 for a run meant to end in autumn 2020, and that run has since been pushed back three times, now to the end of 2027; about 2.51 million people came in 2025 alone. A rebuild in January 2025 made the site about 1.5 times its former size and added more than twenty works, among them the Athletics Forest.
With kidsThe part that matters
The water rooms are what children come for: you wade in barefoot, knee deep on an adult in places.
Koi cross the surface around your legs, so children chase them instead of standing still; one three-year-old kept at it three hours.
Elsewhere, 13,000 living flowers fill a garden work, and a bird you draw is scanned and starts to move. The Athletics Forest, added in 2025, brought a slide, which a child of 90cm or under takes with a parent. It is art to walk into, not to look at.
By age0-1 / 2-3 / 4-6
- Ages 0-1At this age it is a visit you carry them through, in a front carrier from the entrance. What lands is a few works rather than the whole route: one baby watched and reached out in their own way, while another family found two exhibits their one-year-old took to.
- Ages 2-3Two and three are the ages where the dark stretches often get crossed in your arms; one three-year-old warmed to it as the visit went on and could get down and walk part of the way, while a family with a two-year-old found less here to do.
- Ages 4-6From four it can stand on its own: the water drew the biggest reaction from a four-year-old, and the dome where flowers fall was the favorite of a five-year-old and her mother alike.
By weatherRain, heat, cold
- Rainy dayRain hardly reaches the visit, because the works are indoors and there are lockers for umbrellas. Only part of the Garden area is open to the sky, and that stretch can be closed in a storm.
- Hot dayA hot day is the day for it: you are barefoot from the lockers on, and in places a child of about 100cm goes in above the knee.
- Cold dayStill, a cold day changes little: the route is indoors, and the water you step into is warm rather than icy.

Before you go
- Water reaches an adult's knee in places, and children in wet clothes have been kept out of the final two rooms, so bring a full change and keep it in the locker.
- Strollers do not go inside at all, so yours goes on the outdoor rack — a wire lock is provided — before you even join the line, and a child of two or under rides in a carrier or hip seat from there.
- Nothing may be eaten or drunk inside, there is no restaurant on the route, and you cannot come back in once you have left, so eat before your entry time.
- Rooms go dark and the light is strong in others, so hold your child's hand the whole way; if a work looks like too much, staff will put you on a detour around it.
- Tickets are timed and sold online only, never at the door, and they cannot be refunded; popular morning slots go about a month ahead, while evening slots can still be there the day before.
- The queue is outdoors and can run 30 to 60 minutes, though staff will let you skip it if you tell them you have an infant.
- Nursing and diaper changing sit in the locker area just past the gate, with hot water for formula, and there is nothing further along the route, so deal with both before you walk on.
