It serves as both a science education facility and a comprehensive children's welfare center. The museum is managed by the Tochigi Future Creation Foundation and is designed to encourage kids to explore various scientific domains such as astronomy, biology, and technology through hands-on exhibits and interactive activities.

Visitors can enjoy diverse features including a planetarium, observatory, and various themed play areas that stimulate curiosity and promote healthy development. The museum also hosts educational events, science shows, and workshops to engage children and ignite their interest in science and technology. Additionally, with its mascot character “Mirai-kun,” the museum represents the endless possibilities of exploring the universe.
