Space World (スペースワールド Supēsu Wārudo?) is a theme park in Yahatahigashi-ku, Kitakyūshū, Japan.
Created in 1990 by Nippon Steel when the company was downsizing its steel plant in the ward, it is currently operated by Space World Inc., a subsidiary of Kamori Kankō, and offers a variety of attractions.
Space World is the home of the Space Eye, a 100-metre (330 ft) tall Ferris wheel affording panoramic views.
In October 2016, the park opened its new Ice Aquarium ice rink. Embedded in the ice were approximately 5000 dead fish, which caused public outrage. The park closed the attraction on 27 November.
In December 2016, the park announced it would permanently close at the end of December 2017.
