What other travelers are saying about Expo '70 Commemorative Park
These pictures are from May 17, 2024. I think the garden changes with the seasons. In April, they had a Sakura Festival with lots of food trucks.
There is an extra fee for the BBQ zone, but it has a great vibe, and they provide all the grilling equipment you need. You can choose to rent just the equipment and seating, or you can buy the meat and everything else from them. For the second option, I recommend calling ahead.
It is an absolutely wonderful space to explore and spend the day! There are plenty of green open spaces to bring a picnic or get a takeaway from the few food places. There are so many activities to see and do for all ages! Plenty to keep kids and adults entertained.
Visited the park area which around ¥260 (each for adult) and could be purchased on the main entrance.
Came around 2PM during sunny day with a clear sky. The park literally spacious, I am just thrilled and enough to see the Tower of the Sun🎉✅
The park itself is huge, runs many seasonal and special events and can host a huge amount of people.
However, the train area is usually always far too busy for any of these events and getting to event locations takes a long time so you must arrive much earlier than you think and you'll probably get home later than you think too.
It's clean and well equipped with toilets and shops however you won't find a Lawson for Loppi tickets, staff are not the most friendly and fireworks events will have next to no extra food stalls available. However, you can usually take in your own items too. Though no umbrellas, mats and chairs.
Good place to go for a day trip if you want to experience some nature in Osaka. It can be quite busy at times, and there is a small entrance fee, but I would still say it's worth it for the things you can see and do here
