What other travelers are saying about Osaka Tennoji Zoo
So fun! It was my first time in a zoo in probably 10 years and I absolutely loved it. Everything was maintained well and we could get good views of the animals. They seemed to be taken good care of, which was important. I'm sure there are fancier zoos but this scratched the itch to see animals and it was a great experience.
Some animals appear to be suffering from the heat, but the zoo is well-maintained with excellent facilities and cleanliness. The food options are good, and the food vending machines are easy to use. There are food trucks throughout the park.
⭐️Very affordable price! Only 500¥
The animals looked depressed and sad, a lot of them clawing at the doors desperate to get out (pictures attached). One of the animals' underbelly was covered in sores (picture attached). The enclosures are too small. I was quite sad after watching them desperate to escape. They shouldn't be in there. It was clean with clear paths and lots of toilets throughout that park. Staff were nice. The matcha dipping dots were nice.
500 yen per adult to enter.
The zoo is nice if you want to see animals and it's not crowded with "loud tourists" just make sure you don't throw foods into the cage's animals can't eat and digest what we humans consider food....
Nice little half day trip away from all the crowded tourist areas.
We really enjoyed this zoo. Our toddler was able to see a lot of different animals. The food options were good and it is close to tsutenaku tower and the surrounding shops and restaurants.
