Cupnoodles Museum Osaka Ikeda

カップヌードルミュージアム 大阪池田

Ikeda · near Ikeda (5 min walk)

Cupnoodles Museum Osaka Ikeda in Ikeda. Kids design their own Cup Noodles - decorating the cup and choosing soup and toppings - and can see the history of instant ramen and a walk-through factory.

Why children love it: Kids design their own Cup Noodles - decorating the cup and choosing soup and toppings - and can see the history of instant ramen and a walk-through factory.

Honest drawbacks: The hands-on Chicken Ramen workshop needs advance reservations and can fill up; the popular factory can mean queues on weekends.
