チチトコ親子で愛媛県総合科学博物館に行ってきました！新居浜市にあるこの博物館は、自然、科学技術、産業の3つのゾーンで構成された常設展示が魅力的です。息子は実物大の動く恐竜ロボットに大興奮！15分ごとに動き出す恐竜の迫力に圧倒されていました。館内には体験型の展示が豊富で、親子で楽しみながら学べる工夫がたくさん。人間万華鏡や竜巻に触れる体験など、科学の不思議を肌で感じられる展示に、息子の目は輝いていました。そして、何と言っても圧巻なのが世界最大級のプラネタリウム！直径30mのドームスクリーンに映し出される星空の美しさと臨場感に、まるで宇宙空間にいるような感覚を味わえました。お腹が空いたら、館内の「科博レストラン」で食事を楽しめます[9][13]。おすすめのせんざんき定食や葱ソース添え、カレーライスなどのメニューが用意されています。夏季にはかき氷やかき氷ソフトなどの涼しいデザートも楽しめるそうです。開館時間は9:00～17:30（入室は17:00まで）で、月曜日が基本的に休館日です。家族で1日たっぷり楽しめる、学びと驚きがいっぱいの素晴らしい科学博物館でした！

場所は丘の上にあり、美術館の建物の入り口のすぐ前に停まるバスでアクセスできます。閉店間際に到着したため、バスの時間がなくなり、最寄りの駅から歩いてここに到着しました。楽しい場所で、子供向けの学習メディアがたくさんあります。ここを訪れることができてとても嬉しいです🤗 インドネシアからこんにちは🇮🇩💕

92歳の叔母を今治の施設から連れだし、車椅子なので涼しいプラネタリウムで過ごそうと、西条市で障害者対応ルームのかるホテルで宿泊して、総合科学館へ行きました。少し認知症ですが、星には少し詳しかったんだよと、プラネタリウム鑑賞をとても喜んでくれました。叔母が声を出して星の感想を言うので、他の方の迷惑になるかもとドキドキしましたが、解説のお姉さんに合わせて、子供達も声を上げていて、コレなら大丈夫かな？と安心して楽しく星を観ることができました。他の展示場では縄を振って、色を出す体験を喜んでくれたり、高齢者とこんな科学技術やAIは相性良いなと感じました。恐竜も、子供時代化石好きだった私にはとても楽しめました。スタッフの皆さんの車椅子への対応も素晴らしく、安心して回れました。障害認定手帳もあったので、まさかの無料でびっくりしました。ありがとう御座いました。今月末から、特別養護老人ホームに入るので、もう喜楽に外出は出来なくなりますが、ぶどうのかき氷等もも帰りに食べられ、最後の外出に楽しめました。いままで、外出となれば松山に行っていましたが、西条市、隣でしたが殆んど何も知らなかったのだとびっくりしました。今更ながら、科学館の最先端の内容も触れられ、自然も多く、水も綺麗な過ごし易い良い場所だと感じました。ありがとう御座いました
