I am disgusted at the treatment of the elephant Miyako who is living alone in a concrete cage! Please do not go to this horrible inhumane zoo. they must be shut down and the animals especially Miyako need to be turned over to a sanctuary.

This is Cruel beyond belief. Please send Miyako immediately to an elephant sanctuary where she can walk freely on the soft earth and eat from trees and bushes. Have mercy on her. She is alone and depressed. You can see in her eyes. She has been imprisoned for 47 years.

Sad,sad,sad! Animals kept in tiny, lonely cages. Animals native to warmer climates, kept out when cold outside on concrete flooring, no grass, hay or trees for them. No space for animals to run and play. Hyenas and wolves do not have a pack and are kept isolated. These animals should be donated to nature reserves and closed down. None of the animals looked happy, their faces only showed sadness.

Petition the freedom!! of the elephants. Or a bigger interactive enclosure not cement walls

The zoo needs a reform the area is big but animals seem cramped. The amusement park felt like a Showa era relic that you had to use tickets for each ride. Much more rundown looking than in pictures online. It is far from the station unless you live in the area, I suggest don't go out of your way.

Cool playground for kids. The tigers and giraffe here are pretty beautiful, but the facilities here are pretty old and I think it should be upgraded. There is a pool here, but you need to pay for it even when you have already paid for the ticket to get into the zoo. We like the animals here, but this zoo is really old. Personal recommend: ★ ★ ★ Family-friendly: ★ ★ ★ Date for couples: ★ ★ ★ Parking lot: ◯ free Services/meals/products/design: ★ ★ ★ Period for stay: 2 hours Charge: adults 1,400 yen kids, free Baby room/accessible toilet: ◯ Cleanness: ★ ★

Very very very very super very old zoo. Recommend to visit just one time but not so much enjoyable. I don't understand how Tochigi Prefecture and Utsunomiya-si people can enjoy this small and old zoo.

The worst zoo I never seen. I burst into tears When I returned in my car. Poor animals, in 2022 and see this it’s just a nightmare. I visited the park 22 November 2022 and I never seen a park like this. I don’t even know why this zoo is still alive. I’m French and even the worst zoo in France doesn’t look like that. I really feel pain for these animals who has TOC, nervous trouble who go in cercles in their cage. Poor elephant who don’t have water and don’t have friends. I read she is 47 years old, 47 years of nightmare to live alone and have all the same days with no entertainment. I’m crying when I write this review, I’m literally shocked and I want to invest even more in the animal cause.

Not worth the money. We couldn’t see this place as a zoo because of very limited animals and not much to spend the time, the maximum time can be spent at this place is 30 minutes. There is some fun rides for kids with some additional ticket fare(not worth even).

(Translated by Google) Large animals were bred in a small space, and I couldn't help feeling sorry. Maybe Tsukinowakuma is scared, I feel sorry for going around the same place. You can't have a heartwarming experience. (Original) 大きい動物達が狭くるしく飼育され、可哀相で仕方なかった。ツキノワクマは怯えているのか、同じところをぐるぐるまわって気の毒。 心温まる体験はできない。

(Translated by Google) Miyako, an elephant, has been bred in a small concrete space for 46 to 7 years. In nature, this situation is abusive for elephants who walk, eat, play and act while communicating together in groups. It's too cruel. We demand improvement or movement to a good environment where you can live with your friends as soon as possible. (Original) 象の宮子さんは、46、7年間、一頭だけで、狭いコンクリートの場所で飼育されています。 自然界では、群れで共にコミュニケーションしながら、歩き、食べ、遊び、活動する象にとって、この状況は虐待とも言えます。 あまりにも残酷です。 一刻も早く、仲間と暮らせる良い環境への改善、または移動を求めます。

It's small but suitable for small kids. Good chances to feed various animals. The chance to feed the hippo directly and actually touch it is something I haven't experienced anywhere else. The attached amusement park is really expensive and worth getting the pass if you have a couple of kids old enough to go on themselves .

The enclosures are in poor condition and are too small for large wild animals. :(

(Translated by Google) The elephant is pitiful 😢 Please give me more QOL. (Original) 象が可哀想😢 もっと　QOLをあげてあげてください。

[Pet Hotel] We bring our doberman to the pet hotel all the time. The pet hotel supervisor is very kind and friendly. The price is good for boarding large dogs, and daily walks are included in the fee. If you forget dogfood, they have dogfood available for free. Our dog is always happy to stay there and we feel like it's a good facility as far as pet hotels go. It's best to call in advance to see what time to drop off/pick up your dog, since the staff is very busy with zoo events.

one of the best zoo I visited though it is not the most beautiful but you can try new experience and feed the animals

I had good interaction with some animals (feeding the sheep, giraffes, lama) but I was expecting something better given the price of the ticket 😐 the park is small and you can finish everything within an hour. The "Don't touch the animal"sign is almost everywhere which feels like you're in a pet shop rather than a zoo🙄 besides, lots of animals were sleeping in their cages and didn't show any reaction to the visitors for the whole day. The entrance ticket doesn't cover the attraction fee. Can be enjoyed by families, couples, but for me it's worth going once only. It's recommended to bring something to eat with you beforehand because there are not so many options in the cafeterias inside the park. I enjoyed the melon latte and the dog show (kind off)

It's an OK zoo. I really dislike the condition of the elephant, pigs, and some other animals. I believe that if there isn't enough space for the animals to move around then they don't belong at the zoo. This zoo doesn't have enough space for some animals and so they look depressed and are very unhappy. They even look a little sick from my perspective. I've been there twice. I went a second time because I wanted my infant son to see animals. I won't go back there to see animals. Maybe next time, just for amusement. The changing areas for babies are not sanitary enough. The facilities look very old and dirty. Other than those, you can have a nice time. Amusement Park, eating area, picnic, a few nice animals, pool and toys for kids. My favourite animal there is the giraffe. They look clean and healthy and have plenty of space to move around. You can feed them too.

Good…!

Good place. But tickets are bit expensive

(Translated by Google) Animals are close! Not only goats, but also giraffes can be fed. I need to buy food, but ... It seemed like you could feed the penguins! For penguins, time is limited. Is it with the keeper? I regret that I should have done it 🥺 Roller coasters are surprisingly fun 👍 Imagine a coaster in a theme park, but it's betrayed ... It feels like you can enjoy it with your family or even those who are not good at it. It looks like you can't expect it, but thanks to that, you betrayed your expectations in a good way. (Original) 動物が近い！ ヤギとかはもちろんだけど、キリンにも餌をあげれます。 餌を買う必要はありますが… ペンギンへの餌やりもできるみたいでしたよ！ペンギンの場合は時間が限られてます。 飼育員と一緒にかな？ すれば良かったと少し後悔🥺 ジェットコースターが意外に楽しい👍 テーマパークのコースターを想像すると裏切られますが…家族で楽しんだり、苦手な方も乗れそうな感じです。 見た目は、期待出来なそうですが、そのおかげで期待をいい意味で裏切られましたw

(Translated by Google) Local zoo 🐘🦁 It is a zoo where you can feed the giraffes and get close to the animals. There is also a mini amusement park with a retro feel 🎡 (Original) 地元の動物園🐘🦁 キリンにエサをあげられ、動物と間近に触れ合える動物園です。 レトロ感漂うミニ遊園地もあります🎡

(Translated by Google) I think the selling point here is that you can feed (in my opinion). Especially the feeding of giraffes is powerful. As soon as you enter the park, hyenas will welcome you without any care. There are white tigers, lions, bears, and various animals. It's nice that children can also ride ponies. There is also an amusement park, but the rides are cheap. It has a retro feel and it seems to be good again. I feel nostalgic. (Original) ここの売りは（自分の意見ですが）餌やりが出来る事だと思います。特にキリンの餌やりは迫力あります。まず入園するとすぐにハイエナが世話しなく出迎えてくれます。ホワイトタイガーとかライオンや熊、様々な動物がいる。子供はポニーだかの乗馬も出来るのでいいですね。遊園地もあるのですが乗り物が安いです。レトロな感じがそれはそれでまた良いと思われます。懐かしい感じです。

(Translated by Google) It seems that Miyako-chan, an elephant at Utsunomiya Zoo, has been confined on concrete for 46 years alone. Please improve the environment further. (Original) 宇都宮動物園のゾウの宮子ちゃんは46年もの間ずっと一人きりでコンクリートの上で監禁されてるみたいですね。　もっと環境改善してあげて下さい。

Kinda typical Japanese zoo. Not really my thing. Only spent about 1 hour here. Ok if your in the area and nothing to do

(Translated by Google) The other day, I went there for the first time in a long time. The last time you went, was it a year ago? 2 years before? It was January, so there were few customers! But this time it's a holiday in November. Moreover, the weather is great and the parking lot is far away (ˊᵕˋ;) I think there are quite a lot of kinds of animals. The contact corner has now been cancelled. You can also buy meals and souvenirs. It was a little? There is also an amusement park, so even if you have small children, you can play for a day. (Original) 先日、久しぶりに行ってきました。 前回行った時は、1年前？2年前？の1月だったこともあり、お客さんがほとんど居なかった！ けど、今回は、11月の祝日。しかも、お天気最高で、駐車場も遠いところに( ˊᵕˋ ;) 動物の種類は、結構多いと思います。 ふれあいコーナーは、今は中止になってました。 食事やお土産も買えます。 ちょっとした？遊園地もあるので、小さいお子さんがいても1日遊べるかと。

(Translated by Google) Facility with zoo and amusement park Admission is taken on the zoo side Amusement park requires a vehicle ticket It was enough facility to spend with children ✨ There is also a diaper exchange area There is also a shop ✨ You don't have to prepare food It was saved ⤴️ However, even if you enter a small amusement park The lack of a free pass was a drawback ⤵️ I don't have many vehicles, but more than I expected Children want to ride 💦 Service tickets can be purchased in bulk It comes with a few How long you ride depends on your child's mood ⤵️ There is no expiration date even if it remains When will I come next ... I don't feel like buying 5,000 yen. In that case, I still want a free pass 😅 Also, the souvenir shop ... or the toy shop Because it is in the right place Children stop when entering the facility Stop on the way home There is no doubt that it will be bought 😑⤵️⤵️⤵️ The amount of money was expensive and honestly it was a problem 😱 (Original) 動物園と遊園地がある施設 動物園側で入場料が取られ 遊園地はのりものチケットが必要 子供と過ごすには十分な施設でした✨ オムツ交換場もあるし 売店もあります✨ 食べ物を用意して行かなくてもすむので 助かりました⤴️ ただ、小さい遊園地と入っても フリーパスがないのは難点でした⤵️ 乗り物がすくないですが思った以上に 子供達は乗りたがる💦 チケットまとめ買いでサービスチケットが 数枚付いてきますが どれくらい乗るかは子供の気分次第⤵️ 残っても有効期限がないってあるけど 次にいつ来るか…なんて思うと 5000円分とか買う気になれません。 そうなるとやはりフリーパスがほしいですね😅 また、お土産売り場…と言うかおもちゃ売り場が 丁度いい場所にあるため 施設に入る時に子供達は立ち止まり 帰りにも立ち止まり 買わされること間違いなし😑⤵️⤵️⤵️ 金額も高価くて正直困り物でした😱

It's a nice and peaceful zoo with a large variety of animals inside. The animals inhabitants are large and have a veriety of things inside weather it's a pool, sand, hay, something to climb on so they animals don't feel trapped. Upon entering we were given a bag with food to feed some of the animals so it was lovely being able to get close to then and touch some of the animals.

(Translated by Google) You can see it very close 🐘🦒 I got some rice 😂 I want to go again 😃🎶 (Original) めっちゃ近くで見れます🐘🦒ごはんもあげられました😂また行きたいです😃🎶

Not bad, compering to its price not Worth it , but friendly staff and small place

(Translated by Google) Although it is small, it is a cozy zoo where you can feel close to animals such as feeding giraffes ♪ There is also a pretty amusement park. (Original) 小さいながらも、キリンに餌やり体験など動物たちが身近に感じられるアットホームな動物園です♪ 可愛らしい遊園地もあります。

(Translated by Google) You can experience the feeding of giraffes. (Original) キリンのえさやりが体験できます。

You can see white lions and white tigers at this local zoo.

Feeding giraffe was good. Kids can have fun with rides and water activities.

White Tiger and lion might be key attractions. A bit older but fun for kids.

(Translated by Google) It's exciting to see small but large animals such as lions and tigers up close. I miss the old rides in the amusement park. It's for small children, but it was reasonably priced and full of fun! (Original) 小さいながらライオン、トラなど大型の動物が見近に見れてワクワクドキドキ。遊園地も昔からある乗り物が懐かしい。小さい子向けですが、リーズナブルで楽しさいっぱいでしたぁ！

(Translated by Google) Due to the corona wreck, animal contact and feeding were stopped, and the amusement park was closed. Therefore, it seems that you can enter with a slightly advantageous entrance fee until January. Parking is free. It was a little quiet, but there were many cats such as white tigers and tigers, and it was quite powerful 🐱 The giraffe was very close to me, so it was very cute! (It seems that you can usually feed) The scale is small, but I wonder if I can be satisfied if I go around slowly ... I didn't go to the amusement park, but I think it's a place where children will be happy if it's free. It was a place I would like to visit again when the world gets a little more energetic (* ^ ▽ ^) (Original) コロナ禍の為、動物さんのふれあいや餌やりは中止、遊園地は閉鎖されていました。 その為1月までは少しお得な入園料で入れるそうです。駐車場は無料です。 少し閑散としておりましたが、ホワイトタイガーやトラなどのネコ科が多く、結構な迫力でした🐱 キリンもとても近くまできてくれるので、とても可愛かったです！(普段はエサをあげることができるみたいです) 規模は小さいですが、ゆっくり回れば十分満足できるかなと…遊園地は行かなかったですが、空いていればお子様が喜ぶ場所だと思います。 世の中がもう少し元気になったらまた伺いたい場所でした(*^▽^)

(Translated by Google) It was a pity that the child couldn't get on the vehicle (Original) 子供が、乗り物が乗れなかったので、残念でした

(Translated by Google) There is also an amusement park, but the usage fee for playground equipment is sober even though there is admission. (Original) 遊園地も併設されてるけど、入場あるのに遊具の利用料が地味に高い

Good, not many people!

(Translated by Google) The distance to the animals is so good (Original) 動物との距離が近くてサイコー

(Translated by Google) If the parking lot is free and you can meet elephants, lions, and giraffes ... Is 1400 yen a good deal? I think! !! I visited for the first time in a long time, but I was impressed by the number of animals and the cuteness of the giraffe! !! The daughter who had just talked was also very excited with "Kirin-san" and "Ouma-san". I also met the cat-chan director who was relaxing at the entrance (* ^^ *) (Original) 駐車場が無料で、ゾウやライオン、キリンに会えるとなると…1400円はお得かな？と思います！！ 久しぶりに訪問したのですが、動物さんの多さとキリンの可愛さに感動！！ お喋りしたての娘も、「キリンさん」「おうまさん」と大興奮でした。 入り口でまったりしている猫ちゃん園長にも会えました(*^^*)

Nice small local zoo, but animals don't look so good. .

Not crowded Recommend for everyone

Awesome Place. Why I am saying this is because there are lots of varieties of wild animals. You can get a close view. The main attraction is that you can feed the Jiraaf. Loved the place. There is an adventure ride also present inside the zoo. But they are chargeable and not included in your zoo ticket. Those are mainly for small kids and children. Value for money

It was nice zoo...

Interesting animals

One of a kind! The owner is the best guy, always friendly and welcoming! Thanks Utsunomiya Zoo!

(Translated by Google) I went there on a weekday afternoon so it was vacant. I took my child to the zoo for the first time, and the child was delighted to be able to feed the animals. (Original) 平日の午後に行ったので空いていました。初めて子供を動物園に連れて行ったのですが動物にエサをあげたり出来て子供は大喜びでした。

(Translated by Google) The entrance fee is a little high (Original) ちょっと入園料が高いですね

(Translated by Google) Very vacant and at home. It can be fed by animals. Feeding the friendly giraffe is fun and addictive (laughs) Personally, I think it's a lot more enjoyable than the zoos and aquariums that are crowded with minerals in the city. (Original) とても空いていてアットホーム。動物によって餌やりができます。フレンドリーなきりんさんへの餌やりは楽しくて病みつきになります(笑) 都会の無機質で大混雑する動物園や水族館より、よっぽど豊かに楽しめると個人的には思います。

(Translated by Google) The animals were close to each other, and the food was given to them, and the eggs were excited. (Original) 動物がちかくでみえ、餌をみじかであげられまごが興奮していました

(Translated by Google) It seems that no zoo is so close to the giraffe. Was cute! (Original) ここまでキリンと距離の近い動物園はないように思えます。可愛かった!

(Translated by Google) A place where you can relax even after many years. I hope you can see the smiles of the local children forever ~ Please continue to do your best. (Original) 何年経っても変わらない ほっと出来る場所。 いつまでも地元の子供たちの笑顔が見れるよう~これからも頑張ってください。

The elephant enclosure is beyond lowest world standards: no access to water elephants love to swim in, keeping one elephant is beyond zoo standards given by WAZA organization. Elephant must be immediately relocated to sanctuary after being LONELY for 47 years. Please don’t buy tickets and don’t support business owner - he is rejecting experts visiting animals and rejecting cooperation to improve animals conditions. Please support animals by avoiding this place.
