Indoor aquarium and animal interaction experience for kids. Having visited a few aquariums with our kid, can safely say that this is one of the better one.
There are different zones for different experiences. The best one was where the kids can see the animals up close and personal (but no touching). We had the pleasure of seeing lemurs running around, a toucan flying overhead and a peahen chasing a smaller animal. We spied an owl, a duck and a capybara too!
Worth the travel down and the entrance tickets if you have young children.
This place is not to big you probably can do it in 60 minutes but the way the animals, fish and reptiles are presented is just fascinating. It is not a normal zoo but an artistic way where humans and animals come together. It is not busy and is somehow outside Osaka so if you are looking for quiet area and nice activities this is the place you should try.
I'm really pleased I've bought an annual pass this year. I bought it on my first visit and I've since been once more. My 1 year old loves that he can run around pretty freely. There are lots of different animals and aquatic creatures. The cafe is pretty good and they do new events at NIFREL all the time which encourages you to come back.
We arrived by the monorail. Kids had a great time. Great design of animal and their living environment.
Not a huge place but had nice exhibits. The area where the animals were free to roam around was great.
