Funabashi Andersen Park — Attraction in Funabashi

Lovely park. Few things inside you can do for a little extra but some of those things could be better maintained (specially with the entrance fee being 900 yen for an adult and the extra activities ranging from 100300 yen per person) entrance fee includes the waterpark section and petting zoo [which are currently closed due to covid] and the various play parks dotted all over the park - great for kids, but perhaps reduce the ticket price when half of the stuff is closed due to covid??? Kids do get in cheaper though (depends on age, with under 4years being free and scaling up from there... sort of between 100600yen ish - see their website for up to date pricing. You can buy advanced tickets which are about 100 yen cheaper per ticket on average 900-810 etc).

Golf putting was fun and quick activity for only 100yen per person but the 9 holes were a little bumpy with only bare minimum maintenance very evident. (I didn't expect much, but you can tell it's not particularly thought about for maintenance when they're deciding where to spend money). The "funny bike" course is VERY short but for only 200yen for a 12 person bike and 300 yen for the 34 person bike it's pretty reasonable for a bit of fun. Overall it's a nice park. Worth visiting at least once, specially if you've got kids. You can easily spend the day here if you wish to. Entry price is a bit steep (specially with so much being closed that would normally make it ok) and those extra 100~300 yen activity costs per can add up if you have...

Great place to go for family with small children, especially at the north side of the park. If you wanna go for a date with your love one, or wanna see something nice with your friends, go to the south side of the park.

This park is huge!!! Children will love the athletic track in the man made forest, the huge playground, and the water pool. It is not a swimming pool, but more of a pool to play with water. Children can also go to catch beetle in summer. Prepare to spend one full day in the park.

As for smaller children, there's a playground as well as indoor playground for toddlers.

Now, for adults, the southern side provide nice places for taking pictures, with romantic atmosphere too. There's a windmill, dwarfs village where you can see what supposed to be dwarfs houses too. The area is designed as if you're in Europe, particularly Denmark, as the name indicate (Funabashi Andersen Park, the Andersen from Hans Christian Andersen).

Watch the railings of the bridge when you cross the pond/lake in the middle of the park. You'll see some images of fairy tales there. I can remember spotting the little mermaid and Thumbelina.

The food was quite nice and not so expensive. I only tried the food court (outdoor). Never tried...

We went when the cherries we're in full bloom and it was AMAZING! It was so beautiful, and the layout is great. There are tons of activities for kids, families, couple's, or even if you wanted to go alone. There is a forest hike, there are several adventure playgrounds for kids and adults, there is a huge fountain pool for kids to play in, and also an activity area to learn about how to manipulate water. There were ponies and a petting zoo. There are a bunch of restaurants all over the park, including the one where we went where I had lamb BBQ and beer, which was okay, and not expensive. There is an actual windmill. There is a lake with boats! Apparently there is a place to make stuff like artwork, but I didn't see it... The place is huge!! You should get there early so that you have the whole day to enjoy it. The entrance fee was less than ¥1000 per adult, which is reasonable considering the grounds. Parking was not free. I am pretty sure that if the city were not managing the park, it would have gone under a while ago, because the prices are...
