What other travelers are saying about Southeast Botanical Gardens
had a fun afternoon here! the sun was hot but there was a shop and restaurant to cool down in. the gardens were gorgeous and I had a great time exploring the different parts ! the petting zoo was adorable. you're able to enter and feed the animals. there's also a little stand to buy mosquito repellent. I also had a look at the bug exhibit! really cool beetles to see there too!
I wish it was easier to realize when things close. Reviews stated that the after sunset lights are worth seeing so we staged our visit to be there for 545pm to have one hour with sun and one without. Problem was that much of the park attractions were already closed by 545pm including a large portion of gardens which closed at 6pm.
Woow it was largest and beautiful place than i thought. The weather is very cool in this place. The bird show is so much fun. Excellent buffet service. It was amazing! We had a great time at Botanical Gardens. Lovely flowers and animals. We had a blast We will come back again soon. Highly recommended place in okinawa😍
I really enjoyed my time here, so many good views here. Nice little Zoo with food that you may feed to the birds, Tortes, and Capybara for ¥100. I would definitely recommend if you are visiting Okinawa.
If I could give this place 0 star I would. While the botany part is ok with a nice lotus pond and Alexander Palms alley they found it necessary to add an live insect and pet zoo which are both very scandalous the way animals are kept in mini enclosures where they have almost no room to move around some under small plexiglass cages. Plus at the merci of tourists with children that go out of board manipulated them and yelling around. In times where ecology, animal welfare and respect and protection are necessary what a bad message to people and children visiting this place. Zero educational value. They should stop with this nonsense and put more efforts in renovating the Garden, provide more info on the plants and ecosystems. If animals pit them in larger proper enclosures. Concentrate on existing local wildlife fauna occurring in the Garden bur don't put poor Capibara, Monkeys, Meerkat or Armaryllo or big beetles in such horrible conditions. Even what you do with the goats, Guinea pigs and rabbits is nit correct. I regret to have given them my money and they should get an animal welfare check by the authorities if such a control exist by the government.
