Review

  • 雨の日にオススメ

    奥日光の魅力を発信するビジターセンター的な要素のある施設です。どちらかというと子ども向けの展示が多いようですが、華厳の滝の駐車場からすぐで、奥日光には数少ない室内の施設なので、雨の日にオススメです。いくつかの動物の剥製や、自然を模した展示、写真による動植物の紹介、13分ほどのシアター、奥日光の地形の紹介、男体山と赤城山の戦いの神話の紹介などの見所があります。
  • 学べる

    日光の自然、動物について学べます。展示物も多く大型スクリーンでの映像も楽しめます!雨の日などの利用にはいいかもしれないです
  • 日光の自然や地形や生き物に関する展示が豊か

    華厳の滝駐車場おいよびばスタミナル至近にある県立博物館。日光の自然や地形や生き物に関する展示が豊かで見応えがある。国に小学生の子供には良い勉強になり、雨天時のって今日も雨が降っていたが、降雨時の観光施設として重宝します。
