- You can plan Umekoji Park and Kyoto Aquarium together in one route.
- When planning, you may wonder whether to stick to the exhibits or add a hands-on experience. The official guide lists separate ticket conditions for the simulator, so if you want the experience, it's best to check it together with admission first.
- The museum states that food and drinks are restricted outside designated areas, as is eating while walking. If you're visiting with children, keep rest stops and meal times separate from the exhibit route.
