Traveler reviews
Wow, what a surprise zoo! There were heaps of interactive activities for the kids. My boys, who are six and twelve, had a blast. We spent the whole day there, enjoying different shows, feeding time and even getting to feed some of the animals. Plus, there were heaps of lunch options. I’m already looking forward to going back! Make sure you have 100 yen coins ready, lots of activities that you can just spend one coin to enjoy.
We had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend it for families with young children. There are plenty animals for kids to interact with and feed the animals, which made the visit both fun and memorable.
My advice is to arrive early, as there’s a lot to see and do. Many of the animal interaction activities require queue tickets, so it’s best to check the schedule and secure your slots as soon as possible.
The most popular activities, such as penguin feeding and horse or camel rides, appear to have only a couple of sessions each day, making tickets very limited and highly sought after. We missed out on some activities because the queue tickets ran out quickly.
Overall, it’s a fantastic family-friendly attraction, especially for children who love animals.
The place is easy to access, less than 5 minutes walk from train station. I arrived at 10 am and did not need to queue for the ticket. The zoo was clean. You can see various animals from close range and even can touch some animals. There are also many spots to sit in and take a rest. The restaurant also offers a good menu with affordable price.
Honestly one of the best zoo’s in the world. It’s super interactive in a sense that there are animals which you can touch/pet, I never thought I could get close to a kangaroo, a capybara, a camel?! On the other hand a giant tortoise is just free roaming. Some animals could also be fed as well with a tiny fee for the food under the guidance of the zoo keepers.
I can tell the animals are treated well with how clean the place is and their own areas are very spacious. There is also a parrot show that was entertaining to watch.
Overall, I highly recommend coming for a visit, a lot more fun and interactive than western zoo’s.
This is the second time I go to this place and still well maintained. It is absolutely an amazing place for people to get closed to animal and is easily accessible and family friendly. Not even kids but adults would be happy to see the animals around.
Highly recommend if you visit Kobe and have kids with you!
