  • A lovely little zoo with some great australian wildlife including the oldest captive wombat in the world!!! I visited here during the morning and it wasn't too busy but be prepared for it to get a little busier on the weekend. There is disinfectant spray at the entrance to prevent the spread of Corona virus. As of writing they are celebrating the birthday of their oldest wombat and there is a cute display in one of the buildings.
  • Free entrance zoo with some parks nearby. Very good spot to walk around with children in warm weather. The size is not so small but as it is free, it is recommended. You can park your car or using bus to come here. The animals is fun to watch.
  • 📄 Description of the area: ————————— 🐗 - Satsukiyama Zoo: There are also many facilities within the park such as a zoo, the Urban Greening Botanical Garden, a golf course, and Green Center, and many people gather here for leisure. The Satsukiyama Zoo is especially popular, with wombats and wallabies, and the admission is free. A cherry blossom festival is held on a weekend in early April every year in the park square and the zoo. In the summer, it serves as one of the venues of the Gangara Himatsuri, a festival that dates back to the Edo Period. 💵 - Price: Free. 🕒 - Hours: [9:15 - 16:45]. ————————— 🌳 🦙 🌳 Thanks For Watching 🙂!
  • This zoo is recommended for animal lovers as you can get close up with them and even pet most of them. It's free of charge too! There was heatwave when i went and most animals were indoor. If not we would have gotten to see more animals. I really love this place! Avoid 12pm to 2pm as it is their lunch time.
  • For a zoo with no entrance fee, Satsukiyama Zoo is a very generous & welcoming zoo to many. There are petting zones and several animals to see. Do note that most of the animals seen here are animals that can also be found in Australia, because of its sister city relationship with the Australian municipality of Launceston, Tasmania. It is also highly understandable that they don't take care of too many animals. Do take note, that travelling to this zoo will require some walking and some light hiking up slopes as the zoo is located around the base of mount Satsuki. It is still fairly accessible as its about 10 minutes or less, from the nearest station.
