TeamLab Planets Toyosu with a Baby: A Local Dad’s Stress-Free Guide

Introduction

Hi, I’m Atsushi! I’m a new dad living in Tokyo. In December, we welcomed our baby boy into the world, and I am currently navigating the exciting (and exhausting!) world of parenting every day.

To be honest, my son is still only 2 months old, so we haven’t actually visited TeamLab Planets as a family yet. But it is at the very top of my bucket list for when he gets a little bigger!

That is exactly why I decided to create this guide. To prepare for our future family adventure, I have obsessively researched the official website, blogs, and social media, and combed through countless reviews from real Japanese moms and dads.

“What do we do with the stroller?” “Is there a place to change diapers?” I have created a “Complete Game Plan” that covers all the anxieties parents have.

Today, I am sharing the entire contents of my personal research notebook with you. Please use this plan to feel confident and ready to enjoy the experience!

1. What is TeamLab Planets? Can Kids Enjoy It?

This is a “super-immersive” digital art facility where you take off your shoes and socks to walk barefoot. You walk through water, navigate rooms with mirrored floors, and touch giant glowing balls.
Official Website: https://www.teamlab.art/e/planets/

• Ages 0 to 1 (Babies): Basically, they will be inside a baby carrier the entire time. They can enjoy the beautiful lights and sounds together with you at your pace.
• Ages 2 to 3+ (Toddlers): If they aren’t afraid of dim lights or water, they can walk on their own and will likely be incredibly excited! However, there are areas with soft, sinking floors (like a giant beanbag), so please hold their hands tightly to support them.

2. Tickets, Prices & Access (Preparation is Everything!)

• Tickets are “Reservation Only”: Tickets are NOT sold at the venue. You must purchase a “Timed-Entry Ticket” online from the official website in advance.
• Prices (As of 2026): They use a dynamic pricing system, so prices change depending on the day.
  • Adults: Approx. 3,800 JPY – 5,200 JPY
  • Children (4-12 years old): 1,500 JPY
  • Under 3 years old: FREE! (This is a huge plus for new parents!)
  • Premium Pass: There is also a pass that allows you to enter at any time on your reserved date without waiting in line. It costs 12,000 JPY per person (Adults & Children age 4+).
• Access: The nearest station is Shin-Toyosu Station (Yurikamome Line), which is just a 1-minute walk (right in front of the venue!). Alternatively, it’s about a 10-minute walk from Toyosu Station (Yurikamome Line / Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line). The path is flat and very easy to navigate with a stroller.

3. The Rules: Strollers and Luggage

There is one major rule you need to know: You cannot bring strollers inside the art area.

• Stroller Parking: There is a designated stroller parking area outside the entrance. You will need to leave your stroller here. (Note: Wire locks are provided/attached to the rails for you to use, so it is secure).
• What about Luggage?: Immediately after entering, there are free lockers with keys. You will put your shoes, socks, backpacks, and large diaper bags in here. You can only bring valuables (like your phone or camera) into the art area.
• Baby Carrier is a MUST: Since you can’t use a stroller, you will be holding your baby for the entire walkthrough (about 1.5 to 2 hours). Please do not forget your comfortable Baby Carrier!

4. Clothing Tips for “Water” and “Mirrors”

When visiting with a baby, there are a few outfit tips to keep in mind.

• Water Area & Spare Clothes: There is an area where adults will be in warm water up to their knees, and small children up to their waists. Adults should wear shorts or change into the free rental shorts provided at the venue (free towels are also available for drying feet).
  • Advice: If your baby is in a carrier, they likely won’t get wet. However, toddlers who walk will definitely get soaked! Make sure to bring a full change of clothes for your child.
• Mirrored Floors: Some rooms have floors that are essentially giant mirrors. For moms, I strongly recommend wearing pants instead of skirts to avoid any wardrobe malfunctions.

5. The Reality of Diapers & Nursing Rooms

This is the information parents want to know most. There are some important warnings here.

• Nursing Room (Warning!): There is NO private nursing room inside the art facility. You must feed your baby or pump before entering.
  • Note: The official website states you can use the First Aid Room for nursing if necessary, so you can ask staff for help in an emergency. However, it is best to be fully prepared beforehand.
• Diaper Changing: There is a diaper changing table in the multipurpose toilet located in the locker room area (right after you enter).
• [The Biggest Trap]: Once you leave the locker room and enter the art area, there are NO toilets or diaper changing spaces until the exit. The pro tip is to check your baby’s diaper one last time in the locker room before starting the course!

So, where is the best place to handle feeding and nursing before you enter?

6. Atsushi’s Recommendation: The “Family Oasis” Nearby

While there is a vegan ramen shop (Vegan Ramen UZU Tokyo) on-site, if you are with small children, I highly recommend using the following spot as your “base camp.”

The Ultimate Oasis: “Urban Dock Lalaport Toyosu” This is a huge shopping mall located just 1 station away (or a 15-minute walk) from TeamLab. It has:

• Fully Equipped Baby Lounges / Fantastic Baby Lounges: Clean diaper changing tables, hot water for formula, and private nursing rooms.
• Food Court: A vast food court where you can eat comfortably with kids without worrying about noise.

It is the perfect place to handle lunch and nursing before you head to TeamLab.
