Museum entry and factory activities are separate. Free student admission does not include a free activity. My CUPNOODLES and Chicken Ramen require different arrangements.

Exhibitions only
Buy admission at reception without advance reservation. Adults pay 500 yen; high-school students and younger enter free.
My CUPNOODLES package
The online admission-and-activity package costs 1,000 yen for adults or 500 yen for high-school students and younger. Its time is the factory reception slot. Earlier museum entry is allowed, but late activity participation is not.
Collecting and changing tickets
Enter your confirmation code at the first-floor kiosk on the visit day to collect two tickets. Changes require cancellation and a new purchase. Cancellation is free until 8am on the visit date and applies to the whole order.
Chicken Ramen alternative
This separate reserved activity requires pairs, with elementary-school age as the minimum. Grades 1–3 must pair with someone of junior-high-school age or older. A My CUPNOODLES voucher does not replace its reservation.
Plan backwards from factory reception
Place lunch and the walk from your arrival station before the activity slot, leaving time to collect tickets. Avoid attaching another fixed reservation immediately after the workshop. If only some companions participate, agree where to meet afterwards. The photograph shows the museum exterior, rather than the activity space or the crowd on your visit date.

Common questions
Does free museum entry include a free activity?
Free entry for high-school students and younger covers the museum. The My CUPNOODLES package still charges for the activity.
Does the museum admission QR code cover factory reception?
Use the separately collected admission ticket and activity voucher at their respective entrances. Keep both documents accessible.
