IF YOU ARE NEARBY, THIS IS MUST! Amazing experience. I would suggest to arrive as soon as you can, around 16 o'clock animals are getting ready to go home and sleep (official closing time is 17:00, but actually it starts around 16:15 - different animals go home at different times). Also some animals you can feed only before a certain hour such as monkeys (11:00 to 15:00). And for some other animals vegetables/ other food may be sold out already due to the limited amount. Sooner is better there, I wish we would know that in advance. You will spend 2 hours there minimum, I would suggest to plan with 3-4h, 4h would be ideal. Also take a lot of 100yen coins, you would need them for purchasing food for animals - 10-15x 100y coins for a person would be ideal. You can touch a lot of animals here - at your own risk, but they are calm (and feed them). Such as flamingos, capybaras, kangaroos, monkeys, lemurs and racoons (you can touch just their paws while feeding them). It's really a unique experience. Animals there are well cared for, clean, happy. I would rather support this amazing place than some cafe where animals have never seen dirt before. One tip: If you feel like it you can feed the animals from your hand. Put your fingers together and open your hand fully. Then place the treat in middle of your palm. Show it to the capybara, kangaroo or flamingo and let them eat it from your hand.

I went here on a Saturday morning from Huis Ten Bosch. There is a free shuttle from Huis Ten Bosch to Nagasaki Biopark but you need to reserve in advance. We availed the biopark + PAW ticket. If you are not afraid of or allergic to animals, I recommend purchasing the combo ticket. PAW was such a fun experience. You can pet inus (dogs), nekos (cats), guinea pigs, goats, rabbits, and squirrel monkeys! The staff was also very cheerful - you can feel how much they care for the animals. It was different from the other zoos because you can actually see the animals up close, interact with them and feed them. You have to prepare a lot of coins. The highlight for me would be the capybara zone. They were sleeping when we arrived so we went back. I also enjoyed the raccoons (lol). They were super cute. And lastly Momo the hippo. She was sleeping when we arrived. We waited for a while until she woke up. You can feed her cabbage and this will make her happy. We wanted to stay a bit longer to see her feeding time but it was quite late in the afternoon. Hope to come back when there are more events / activities - capybara bath, etc. The kids seem to enjoy so much - I think when I have kids someday I will definitely bring them here too 😊

Great place! Little pricey at ¥2000 for the zoo and petting zoo- but OH SO WORTH IT. We can on a typhooning day and the animals were still out and we were able to see most animals. There's tons of fun ways to feed the animals- we spent around ¥1000 on food for animals from the Gatcha machines stationed around. The squirrel monkeys were intense and pooped on us and stole things from our pockets- so be warned. Overall we easily spent 5 hours there, but you could walk the park no problem in 2-3 hours. Not big, but plenty to see. Delicious snacks, cook insect room, capybaras were adorable, and the petting zoo was clean and nice. Dogs, cats, rabbits, parrots, owls, Guinnea pigs, chinchilla, degu, mice, so nice! Great for kids, plenty to see and do. Lots of chairs everything for the elderly, though not the friendliest terrain. There was at least one nursing room, and stroller parking was available where needed. Great park. Children were only ¥1100 I think.

My husband and I had the best time at the Bio Park! I feel like some animals like the giraffes could use a bigger enclosure and the sheep looked kinda under the weather. Otherwise, all the animals looked very happy and well fed! I noticed all the hoofed animals had their feet done, and animals like the capybaras had employees nearby kinda watching over them. It was so fun feeding all the different animals. Especially the kangaroos and lemurs! Lastly, service members who show their ID get 10%. It cost $¥100 for a capsule of feed for the animals. Each pen has a separate capsule dispenser. There are bill to change converters on-site throughout the zoo, but if you want to feed the animals, make sure you have plenty of ¥1000 bills with you!

The place worths a visit at just one area. The part of the big animal cages is okay, some are better living there than others, who look trapped into a tiny place , not good , and I hope that one day those animals get released to the nature, where they should live . The bad side is the little animls paw petting zone, where the guinnea pigs, rabbits and mouses are totally stressed there, some look sick,infected, and stuck at a display place where whey look like they could die in a minute of too much stress and mishandle . The animals are often being abused by kids, squeezed, touched, thrown from high altitudes like a toy and no one cares. I hope that one day, someone could save those animals from that, they will die if they live on that hell.

Went on a Friday afternoon, and the park was not busy at all. This is a very unique zoo; animals have plenty of room to roam around and they seem happy! The interactions you get with some of the animals here makes the experience interesting and to an extent, justifies 1900¥ per person. I have never been this close this many zoo animals. However, the park needs to provide a higher quality of food at the exhibits. Only 4 to 5 small pieces to feed after paying yet another fee ranging from 100¥-500¥ is ridiculous. Also, I would not do the extra 600¥ to see the dogs and cats. Way too many children crowding a small space and the animals didn't see too happy to be surrounded by so many people. Otherwise, it's worth the visit if you're in the area!
