Best petting zoo ever. Surprisingly the range of animals are amazing. Very worth it for kids.
An entertaining day for the kids and a good dating spot. There are camel rides, boxing kangaroos, and exotic animals crawling, slithering, and climbing.
It's about 80% indoors and heated so no problem during winter.
Find out in advance what animals are fed when and plan accordingly to get the best out of your visit. Be prepared to wash your hands many times during the day, which protects you and the other animals.
View the bird show from either end so the eagle, owl, and parrot wings brush your head as they fly overhead. There are also special event shows in the morning and afternoon.
It's best to take your own food, and buy desserts. There are plenty of tables and places to sit.
Buy discount train and entrance tickets at Sannomiya Station.
Wide range of animals and some plants. We didn't expect to see kangaroos and alpaca here. Air conditioned in most of the area. Family friendly and convenient for both driving and public transport
When I first walked in, I was worried that this place was more kid oriented, but it ended up being plenty of fun for adults too. There were many shows that invite a certain animal out to show off skills. The guides spoke in Japanese. The signs has English though as well. I was able to feed a toucan on my arm, which was the highlight of the trip.
This is a wonderful place to take your family or go to with friends. The animals are all well taken care of, and they all seem happy. There are many tame and semi-tame animals that enjoy interacting with people, which is especially exciting for kids. There is a nice food court, good restrooms with diaper changing stations, and a great gift shop. We love to go here once in a while, and recommend it for everyone.
Super-sized petting zoo! A must-see if you have children, since they can feed the animals and get up close. They have discount coupons for entry floating around, that reduce the entry price, but its definitely good for at least a half day of amusement.
It's a mix of a zoo and a petting zoo. Think if petting capybaras, kangaroos, tortoises, llamas, parrots, owls but also common pets such as dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs. Most of the animals seem to have enough space and space to relax - but not all of them. The seals and tapirs are living in really small enclosures. In total much better than other zoos.
Young and old, a visit here is a treat. The welcoming atmosphere, the opportunity to view and various animals, and the overall experience contribute to drawing eager crowds of the appreciative.
Stay away if you love animals! Small cages and no hide outs with close proximity to screaming kids is very stressful for the animals.
We spent the whole day here, you can get close to and feed almost all of the animals. From cats and dogs to capybara and kangaroos. It's an awesome place. We finished the day in the bird house near the entrance/exit. Two of the birds landed on my shoulders and went to sleep. It was brilliant.
There were a few enclosures which were too small. These put a bit of a downer on the day. A capybara enclosure, a tapir enclosure and the seal and sea lion enclosures to name a few. If animal kingdom could enlarge these enclosures I would happily give it 5 stars.
