We Took Our Kids to teamLab Borderless in Tokyo, and Nobody Wanted to Leave
teamLab Borderless reopened in Azabudai Hills in 2024. Real photos from our own visit with all three kids, plus the discount code that applies to it.

teamLab Borderless closed its original Odaiba location in 2022 and reopened in Azabudai Hills in February 2024. We went that same summer with all three girls, Lily, Cora, and Harper, and it’s still one of the only attractions in Tokyo where none of our kids asked to leave early.
Borderless is a set of dark rooms full of projected, moving light art that responds to where you stand and how you move through it. There’s no fixed path. You wander, and the art follows you as much as you follow it.
What actually worked for us with kids
- No set route. With three different attention spans, not being locked into a single walking path meant everyone could linger where they wanted and skip what bored them.
- The orb room is the moment. Hundreds of suspended, glowing light orbs that shift color as you move through them. This is the room every photo of Borderless is actually from, ours included.
- It’s dark and disorienting in places. If you’ve got a kid who doesn’t love the dark, know that going in. Ours were fine, but it’s worth mentioning before you buy tickets.
- Go on a weekday if you can. It’s popular enough that weekend crowds change the experience, less wandering, more shuffling.
We don’t have a verified current ticket price to put here since we booked ours a while back and prices at a museum like this shift, the Klook link below will always show today’s real number rather than something that might already be stale by the time you read this.

Same code as our teamLab Planets post: the 1% “selected things to do” tier explicitly covers teamLab Borderless, and if your total Klook cart crosses $50 for the trip, the new or existing user tiers are worth more than the flat 1%.
If you’re trying to decide between Borderless and teamLab Planets in Toyosu and only have time for one, Planets is the one with water and a mirrored floor you walk through barefoot, Borderless is the one with the light orb room above. We’ve done both with our kids and would go back to either.
