Tips & Tricks from Real Parents
You walk through water in some rooms. Wear shorts or roll up pants - the water is clean but you can't avoid getting wet below the knee.
Babies in carriers are great but crawlers get confused by the mirrors. Toddlers love it but hold their hand in the crystal room - it is easy to lose orientation.
Book tickets online in advance - they sell out days ahead, especially on weekends and holidays.
The Floating Flower Garden room smells like real flowers and changes with the seasons - go early before people trample the bloom beds.
Children under 3 enter free. The experience is gentle enough for all ages but the dark rooms can spook very sensitive kids.
The venue closes at 10 PM and the late-night slot (7-9 PM) is the quietest and most magical time to visit.
Wear light-coloured clothing - especially white - for the best photo and video reflections. Dark colours absorb the projections.

A Real Parent's Story
My toddler walked through water and thought she was a fish
“The water garden room is ankle-deep water with digital koi that swirl around your feet. Our 2-year-old walked in and immediately started trying to catch them. She was soaked and laughing. Best 3,800 yen we ever spent.”
Read full story
I was nervous bringing a toddler to a 'museum'. But teamLab Planets is built for kids. She crawled through the crystal room, splashed in the water garden, and pressed her face against every mirror. The staff smiled and pointed her toward the best spots. The only downside? She cried when we had to leave.
