Kids love the glass-floor on the Deck — plan a reveal moment. Elevators are frequent and staff are helpful during busy hours.

Deck view

Before You Go

  • Bathroom break before queue
  • Light snack + water
  • Headphones for sensitive ears (elevator whoosh)
  • Small game/toy for lines

On-Site Hacks

  • Reveal the glass floor last for a grand finale.
  • Take turns by windows; swap photographer/spotter roles.
  • Use lower railings for safe, seated photos.

Pairings Kids Love

  • Sumida Aquarium inside Solamachi.
  • Snack crawl: taiyaki → matcha soft serve → melon-pan.

Mini Scavenger Hunt

Find: a red bridge, a sightseeing boat, a rooftop garden, a temple roof, and a train crossing.

Strollers

Allowed; staff may direct you to specific elevators when crowded. Consider a compact umbrella stroller.
