Best places: Zoos in Toride, Japan

Small, child-focused zoo in a large park with aquariums, a butterfly house & animals to hand feed.

Modest zoo with an interactive farm-animal exhibit, miniature railroad & concessions.

👍👍 There is an area with a net in one corner of the park. That is a paradise for wild birds. Admission is as low as 100 yen for adults and 30 yen for elementary and junior high school students. It's a place that is hard to find for people who like to shoot birds with a single-lens reflex camera or for...

😠 Animals are basically all-you-can-touch. As a result, some children were grabbing and throwing chicks. There were only two staff members in the large store, so it seems that they are not very eye-catching. It seems that they sell the interaction between children and animals, but I felt that animals...

Environment foundation park with free pony & carriage rides for kids & a farm animal petting area.

👍 日曜日のお昼頃に初めて伺いました。 受付にて料金を払い説明を聞いてから入店。 土日祝や繁忙期は時間制限あり。 中にはウサギ、モルモット、ハムスター、ヒヨコ、ハリネズミ、亀、蛇、フクロウを含めインコなどの鳥達、フェレット、チンチラなど様々いました。 大半は触れ合い可能ですが、中にはスタッフへ声かけが必要...

😠 可哀想すぎて見てられないくらいでした。二度と行きません。屋内での動物の飼育っていうのがまず無理ですが、これは酷すぎる。 インコ、ハムスター、ひよこ、猫などはオモチャ扱いで、子供が触りまくってる。 猛禽類は一歩動けるかどうかの紐で繋がれてるし、特に酷かったのは奥のスペース。ペンギンは泳ぐこともできないと...

👍👍 どうぶつの種類が豊富 ひよこ、犬（トイプードル）、インコ等の小鳥、カピバラ、ハリネズミ、マウス、モルモット、うさぎ（ロップイヤー）、リクガメ、ヒョウモントカゲモドキ、フトアゴヒゲトカゲ、蛇（ボールパイソン）、グリーンイグアナ、フェネクス、ミーアキャット、フクロウ（ベンガルワシミミズク等）、チンチラ 店...

👍👍 It looks like it's still in the development stage, but there are a lot of different animals. Admission is free, but the costs are covered by donations and petting and feeding fees. (It seems they now charge an entrance fee) I'm sure it's a bit of a hassle since there are other petting spots that cha...

👍👍 Just stop by. A short walk from the very popular Museum Park Natural History Museum, where the grounds seem to be connected. A mini corner on the grounds of Asunaro no Sato. The fishing pond costs 500 yen, but everything else is free. Even though it's free, there are ponies, alpacas, squirrel monkey...

Small petting zoo with monkeys, goats & rabbits, also offering a cafe.

😠 GWに行ったせいか全然触れず…。 全部触れるのかと思えばだいたい触らないでばかり…触れる動物もストレスなのか嫌なのかはじっこにいました。 入場制限しないで入れるのでずっと触ってる子がいるとなかなか触れないし値段は高いしで微妙。 餌やりも1つ200円でまだお金使うの？と疑問！皆んなあげてるから子供はやりたがるし…...

😠 so messy and dirty inside. It should be cleaned up for the animals there. So poor... Entrance fee is over 1200 jpy for each of adults which is way too expensive.
