What other travelers are saying about Kobe Animal Kingdom
Beautifully run park!
The animals are given ample space to amble about and interact with the visitors.
Kids were excited to feed the various animals such as the kangaroos, alpacas and deer.
The species kept here are unique and given alot free space to climb about among the visitors, and be pet or fed by visitors.
Definitely worth it to visit the Animal Kingdom if you are in the region. No regrets.
Get Closer Than Ever is is an amazing place to see animals up close! They have big, open spaces where the animals can roam, so you can really see them in their natural habitat.
You can get super close to the animals, like standing a few feet from a lion or watching monkeys swing above you. It's awesome! They also have lots of places where you can feed the animals, like giraffes and penguins. It's so much fun!
There are tons of paths to walk on, so you can explore and see all sorts of animals. And if you want to learn more, the zookeepers are always happy to answer questions.
The zoo is the perfect place to have an amazing day with your family and see some incredible animals!
Second time I've been and enjoyed it even more this time. Truly a wonderful experience to be in a room with free roaming animals who seem at peace in their environment.
However, both times I've gone, the enclosed animals seem very unhappy and disengaged. Many of them just pace around anxiously. I wish they had more room and more engagement. I wonder if they would do better in a bigger zoo.
We stopped in after seeing this pop up on Google. It’s a wonderful nature center/ zoo right off the train with a variety of animals from all over the world. Some definitely seemed out of place for the season (it was hot and the bears and wolves were panting), but overall very well constructed for a visit! I would say some animals could use a bit more room (like the tapirs), but overall they all looked well cared for and the keepers were all happy and helpful. The shoebill was indeed a sight to see! Very unique. So were the close encounters with the red panda, macaw, and the river otters. It wasn’t too busy and while there were many parents with kids, I thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend for adults and kids alike. Takes about a leisurely 2-3 hours or a quick hour of walking quickly to explore.
Very very interesting place. Like it alot. It is very interactive and clean. Animals looks healthy. Though some of the lady animal keeper not very nice to foreigner. Not very friendly, they tend to ignore you. Not sure if it is due to language barrier or simply ignoring foreigner. Animals are great though, food is okay. Could easily spend 2.5 hours here and we generally are not those who take lots of photos or dallying. So if you like to spend lots of time in one station then probably a full day is very likely.
