What other travelers are saying about Okinawa Zoo and Museum
Great experience! Most of the animals are visible without much looking around. Some of them seemed a bit frustrated or stressed by the sheer number of children screaming but I think that is just the day I chose to go. Staff were kind and most sings are in both English and Japanese. I would recommend having translate ready for the detailed animal information though!
The best time to visit is during the spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) months when the weather is pleasant. However, the facility is open year-round, so visitors can enjoy its offerings in any season.
The Okinawa City Zoo and Museum frequently hosts special events, educational programs, and temporary exhibits throughout the year. These can range from animal encounters and feeding sessions to cultural exhibitions and holiday celebrations. Keep an eye on their official website or social media channels for the latest updates.
Admission fees can vary depending on age, with discounts available for children, seniors, and groups. There might also be combined tickets for both the zoo and museum sections. Please refer to the official website or contact the facility directly for the most current pricing.
Super cute little museum with some pretty great animals to see. Lions, monkeys, bears, hippos, etc. lots of animals I don't usually see at home. There's not a ton of animals and I might have gone during off season but they were doing a lot of extra work and the entrance has clearly been allowed to wear down a bit.
Fun little place to take kids.
Cool zoo that brings you through different levels and angles of the exhibit. When you follow the foot path, you’ll go from looking from top down, to coming to eye level with the animals. There’s even little tunnels on the path that the animals can walk through beneath you! Bathrooms were very clean!
If you are coming to Okinawa with your kids, this is the place you shouldn't miss. The zoo is reasonably big, and the baby toilet is very comfortable (with air con) and clean
