My family and I visited the digital museum on a Saturday afternoon in August. We visited with another family and we all bought tickets several weeks in advance. There were a lot of people at the museum but it was about what I would expect for a popular attraction in Tokyo - my family and I never felt overwhelmed by the size of the crowds.

We did no planning in advance for our visit and this is the type of place where you can have a great time without planning ahead. I m not too sure we even saw all the rooms and attractions in the museum but we spent almost three hours at the museum and left feeling like we got our money s worth.

The museum has large, gallery-like rooms that have digital art projected on the walls and floors. The art changes over time, so you can stay in the big rooms and watch the changes or you can come back at a later time. There are several, smaller rooms with various different types of digital art installations that are very different from each other, each one being very dynamic and unique. My favorite room was a room where you walk through the entrance and walk on to a web made of rope that is suspended in the air in the middle of the room. You can sit or lay down. Digital art is projected on the walls, floor, and ceiling and it moves in a way that gives the impression you are flying through space.

Another great aspect of the digital museum is how kid friendly it is. There are quite a few spaces that are designated for children (even one for babies and toddlers) that provide really great interactive activities, both physical and creative. There are simple things, like a giant slide, and hands on things, like a room where the digital projections can be altered using tools that attach to the walls.

Overall, this is a great place to visit and there are lots of fun things to do and see for all ages.
