Traveler reviews
Mustapha Ben
★★★★★a year agoNice exposition with the Japan theme, the price of the ticket is a bit expensive which costs 18.9 euros, but you can get the lyon city card instead, it's better. The staff are kind. At the end you can play games or purchase some souvenirs from their store, I recommend
Mina
★★★★★8 years agoSuch a great experience! The guide was very friendly and answered all of our questions. The space is a bit noisy, but that’s only natural considering there’s a lot of groups and children visiting as well! Everything was great, thank you.
