We thought about taking the boys into town to visit the zoo and sakura festival but in the end we found information about this place at the airport that we have never been to. Easy access and not too long an afternoon sounded perfect for a pregnant mummy!
With an extra 100yen we get to go on the special train to the airport (only two stops - about 10min ride).
From the terminal we took a free shuttle to "Sky View" which is an aviation theme park and it was all free of charge!
There was a pokemon painted plane model which our boys were quite keen on - I know they fly these ones during school holidays.
First we took the boys out to see some planes landing and taking off. It was a bit windy but we went out with perfect timing!
Daddy's plane!
Then we headed to the boarding gate - aviation museum:
This area had lots for the boys, they had some interactive simulator machines, big display of how the airport has been built (KIX is an airport which is floating on the sea), 1/72th scale model of the terminal and runway and some kids play area etc etc.
The best thing was we were there on a weekday afternoon, there were only a few others there and we didn't have to wait at all.
Of course the boys spent the most time here:
Oliver was quite good at landing the plane into KIX:
First flying with daddy:
They also had a cabin room, tow truck simulator, control tower and marshaller simulator, pretty cool ha?
Luca wasn't too good at marshalling... the airplane kept turning around :(
This was quite impressive:
I liked the toilet sign - a little sexist tho...
We didn't visit other floors as the boys were getting quite tired without their afternoon nap. To finish off our visit they got to play in an indoor playground with daddy!
I am sure all my three boys were pretty happy about their outing :)
Oaw, this place looks amazing!! So cool!
