We had such a wonderful family day at Sanrio Puroland! 💖
The Miracle Gift Parade and the Sanrio Character Boat Ride were truly the highlights — so magical and beautifully done. ✨
Everything was well-organized, the staff were super friendly, and my kids absolutely loved meeting their favorite characters like My Melody and Cinnamoroll.
The food inside was also surprisingly good, with plenty of cute themed options. 🍰🍛
It’s definitely a must-visit spot for families, especially if your kids love Sanrio characters. Highly recommended! 🎀
everything about this place was truly a dream come true and a huge bucket list of mine! bought our admission tickets on klook in advance. rides are worth it, if you can afford the fast lane, then greatly recommend. the parade show was perfection, i enjoyed it more than i thought i would, it surpassed my expectations. i didn’t have any of the food, only drinks, it was okay imo. staff is very courteous and welcoming. as well, i recommend starting your day here when it opens so you can be able to do more stuff as i didn’t get to finish everything arriving 2 hrs later from opening. other than that, it was a gorgeous attraction any sanrio lover would enjoy :) can’t wait to come again
Revisited after close to 10 years, still very magical.
Purchased tickets online via Klook and entered directly with the QR code.
Very convenient theme park, short walk from the train station.
Everything was very cute and lots of photo opportunities.
Sadly It was very crowded and we didn’t manage to get tickets for the parade beforehand.
Queued 100mjns for the boat ride but it was worth it.
The shop near the entrance was quite big and lots of cute goods.
The park isn’t that big, so even on a weekday, it feels crowded. Expect long lines for almost every ride. The boat ride had the worst wait — 120 minutes, which was the longest I’ve ever experienced.
One of the main issues is how inefficiently the rides are managed. For example, they do only one group per car, even if it’s just a couple or 1 person. Most groups were only two people, so cars were going half-empty.
I know there’s a sign that says guests can ride with other groups, but the staff didn’t take the initiative to organize it. They simply asked how many were in our group and moved on, without trying to combine smaller groups to save time. The staff didn’t seem trained to group guests together to maximize capacity, which could have significantly reduced wait times. Even when our group had three people, it would've made sense to add another couple to our car — we wouldn’t have minded if it meant faster operations.
They also spent a lot of time opening and closing the car gates/ doorsbetween rides, which added more delays.
Fast Passes were sold out by 1 PM, but I still saw people cutting in line and entering the Fast Pass area unchecked, as there was no staff watching the gate.
That said, once we got on, the ride itself was **fun and entertaining**, and the **staff were polite** — just not well-organized. The park has potential, but the lack of operational efficiency really takes away from the overall experience.
