Some experiences may require making reservations in advance. Please check the website for details: https://oyatsu.town/namba/.
Make Your Own Baby Star Ramen Snacks at the Experience Area!

At the "My Special Baby Star" experience, you will spice up your Baby Star ramen snack with your favorite flavors, cook it in an oven, and decorate a limited-edition Osaka cup with stickers. Or, if ramen isn't quite your thing, you can make steamed bread to season as well. (Required time: about 50 minutes, advance reservations possible, 800 yen, tax included.)
You can also try the "Only One in the World BABY-STAR Furikake" experience, popular with adults as and children alike! (Required time: about 20 minutes, advance reservations possible, 600 yen, tax included). Choose from 10 types of furikake and 210 seasonings!
Play Games in the Amusement Area!
Play to your heart's content at Oyatsu Town's Amusement Area. Families with younger children are sure to love this zone!
Nine different games get your entire body moving, including stepping games such as "Dadanda Ramen Maru" and "Tsuboyanen," a game where you can draw your own original Baby Star Ramen characters on an iPad, and a game where you use hand movements to play instruments called "Kibun Choi Age Live."
After all that exercise, grab a snack at the Food Area!
At Oyatsu Town's Sweets Park in the Food Area, it's "Always 3 O'clock!" They offer a rich dessert and meal lineup with about 25 different dishes.
There is also DIY ramen and a buffet area with burgers and pasta. Adults can also enjoy sparkling wine with their sweets, and at dinner, alcohol is served, too.
