What other travelers are saying about Fukuoka Municipal Zoo and Botanical Garden
The garden is very big with bungalows allowing travellers to stay overnight with advanced booking. Even for day trip, it’s a nice place for families with elderly and small kids. Electric wheelchair for elderly to rent while strollers for small kids to rent are available. A very nice place to take pictures and enjoy as every corner can make you super nice pictures!!! Suitable for people looking for a cozy holiday getting close to nature.
The Fukuoka City Zoo is a zoo operated by the city of Fukuoka. Children can enter for free. We are foreigners, but we were very grateful to be able to take advantage of the free admission benefit. We think it's a wonderful welfare policy, worthy of a developed country, to offer free admission to a place like a zoo, which is enjoyed by children. The admission fee for accompanying adults is also affordable. The zoo is spacious and has a lot to see. There is a wide variety of animals, and the layout is suitable for walking, so we were very satisfied. Although it was difficult to visit during the hot weather, it would be a great place to visit in the spring or fall.
heartbreakingly small enclosures :( all animals kept in cages with concrete floors even the bigger animals like elephants and rhinos. animals have poor living conditions with little to no enrichment. no space for them to roam. some of the animals look stressed and some are physically unwell. pls don’t visit, this is not humane :”( please renovate and feed skinny sad sun bear :(
