What other travelers are saying about Shibukawa Skyland Park
The park is outdated, but clean. The rides are old and snack bars closed, but who cares because the the kids are having too much fun with the attractions - it’s the adults who are passing judgment. They could use an update and build a new ride though…for real. The train wasn’t in operation, so that was a bummer.
There’s a shallow pool for the kids to play in so don’t forget those swimsuits.

It was good time spent with my children and they get good memories. Tickets price little bit higher than other park. It was 7000¥ for 2 adults and 2 children 😁
Preventive measures for corona virus are implemented. Body temperature check at the gate and contact details logged before entering the park. The staff were friendly and rubbing alcohol are available everywhere. The Go-kart and roller coaster were fun and can be enjoyed by adults. The Ferris wheel is also nice showing the views of the nearby cities. One complain only is the ice park. It’s too short 😂
Great for toddlers. All rides are available but adults need to ride with them. Purchase 1 day pass - no need to pay per ride. There's a go-cart at the very back of the park, and it is highly recommended. Not crowded on Saturday when I went.
