I’ve lived here over 4 years and this is the first time I’ve actually visited for leisure. The first time I came I only went as far as the giraffes near the front for a volunteer event. This is a pretty decently sized zoo to visit especially with little ones. I love the way their penguin exhibit is set up and apparently there’s a sort of cafe or seating area that we missed. For 2 adults with a military discount it was literally around ¥1200! For an annual pass it’s ¥2100! For our son’s first visit to a zoo this was the perfect size and as soon as we were done he fell right asleep. Parking is free and just right across the street. There is a diaper changing room in the penguin exhibit building as well as a men’s and women’s restroom. The bathroom was very clean.

I’ve been visiting our neighborhood zoo since my daughter was six months old, and now that she’s two, she loves it even more! The zoo is within walking distance for us, making it a perfect place for frequent visits. The staff are incredibly helpful and kind, always enhancing our experience. We have an annual pass and this zoo is a fantastic spot to spend one to two hours with family, enjoying a diverse range of animals. The garden is a delightful bonus, with beautiful seasonal flowers and plants that add to the charm of the place. We always leave with smiles and look forward to our next visit!

We used to live in Sasebo 5 yrs ago and had never been to this zoo until the other day. It’s super cute, but as it was soooo hot out, we didn’t see many animals. My kids and I still made the most of it. If you’re in Sasebo, check it out. It doesn’t receive the same attention as Biopark, but it is amazing and close to Kujukushima aquarium.

Happy to have a place to take our child to learn about animals. They try really hard here to provide a good experience. Like most things in japan the property is quite dated. Lots of bathrooms available. For the price it is a great way to spend an hour. Purely on the condition of the property, it's 3 stars.

九十九島を眼下に望む高台にある動植物園。 展示数は動物66種247点、植物1,200種21,000点(入園時に渡される園内マップ記載)とのこと。 開園時間は9:00~17:15で、入園は16:45まで。動物の体調管理のため16:30(12~2月は16:00)より獣舎への収容が始まります。 入園料割引については、団体割引(15名以上)、佐世保市民割引(要身分証提示)、シルバー割引(要身分証提示)、障害者割引(要障害者手帳提示)。年間パスポートあり。なお、コンビニの電子端末にて前売券が販売されています。 SSKバイパスより県道149号線に入り、さらに小路(住宅街)に入るという場所の分かりにくさが一番の難点。地元民でなければナビは必須ではないでしょうか。パールシーリゾート・海きららからはシャトルバスが出ており、所要時間は約5分とのこと。 動物園と植物園が一緒になった園内は子供はもちろんのこと大人も、それこそ時間を忘れて楽しめることと思います。動物の中には人が近づくと近寄ってくれる種もおり、触れることこそできないものの身近に見ることができます。 動物園としてはリスザルやウサギのように小さい動物からキリンのように大きい動物まで大小様々な動物を見ることができます。 特にペンギン館に力を入れているようです、水槽は、1階からは見上げる形(空中遊泳のように見えます)、2階からは水面下より見上げる形(目線より少し高いくらい)、屋外からは目線の高さで見る形になります。ペンギンに関しては長崎市にペンギンに特化した長崎ペンギン水族館がありますが、そちらとは違った楽しみ方ができます。 植物園では亜熱帯圏の植物を楽しむことができます。植物園内には亀がいました。 真冬に行ったために残念ながらバラ園を見ることは叶いませんでした。今度はバラの季節に行きたいものです。
