This is a great little zoo in north Shunan City. They have a fair variety of animals to see. Some of the exhibits are quite old, but they are in the midst of renovations, and I am excited to see what the zoo will look like when it is all ready. The red pandas building and bird area is beautiful. We even saw some nesting birds and their eggs! There is a food court available as well as restrooms. The building with the red pandas also has a small reading nook with kids books. For an extra fee kids can have the opportunity to feed...

It's a nice zoo for kids I would say. The small size of the zoo makes it hard for me as an adult to look at the animals because some of them look like they're going to go mad all cramped up. Fortunately, it appears the zoo is expanding a bit and renovating. There's a place to eat, a place for some interactive fun with animals and a photo machine that's zoo themed. Staff were friendly and helpful. Zoo is walkable from the station but there's also a cheap...

子供の頃から、園全体に漂う憂鬱な雰囲気は変わらず、悲しく思っている。工夫の余地がたくさんあるのに。原因としては、 ・動物たちの飼育環境がネガティブ ……積極的に動物たちの野生本能を引き出すような仕組みがない。例えば餌のあげ方などは、他の園では野生に近い方法で、簡単には取り出せないようにしたり、能動的に餌を食べる工夫をしているが、ここでは淡々と与えるだけ。動物は隠れる場所も用意されていない狭い檻の中にいるだけ。虎の檻なんて3歩で部屋の端につく狭さ。草も土もないコンクリートの中。動物たちは長年この環境にさらされ、諦めを覚え、物事への興味がなくなり、ただじっと動かない者が大半です。もしくは、ストレスでウロウロ、悲しげな声をあげるか、毛がはげ落ちたり、死んだり、ツヨシのように頭を抱えて吠えたり。園側は、言い訳のように、この毛抜けはストレスではありません、と書き、最初は純粋に信じていましたが、本当でしょうか? 部屋の狭さをどうにもできないなら、せめて餌のやり方を能動的にさせたり、隠れ場所を作る、退屈な時間を過ごすおもちゃを与えるなど、何らかの工夫をできないものでしょうか? 死んだ目の動物たちが園全体に漂う悲壮感を作っています。何十年も大好きだったライオンが最近亡くなったのを檻の前で見て、感謝の気持ちよりも先に、同情と申し訳なさが込み上げてきました。草もない狭い檻でウロウロしたくてもせいぜい左右に歩くだけ。長い間死んだ目で過ごして、受動的に餌を与えられ、毎日何回か雄叫びを上げて吠えてそんな何も刺激のないルーチンの繰り返しだったんだろうと思い、悲しみが込み上げてきました。せめてメスライオンが一緒の部屋で刺激があったかもしれませんが、隣のトラなんて1人きりでもう何十年もコンクリートの中に閉じ込められたままです。 キリンやトラやライオン、猿、そういう目玉動物たちの扱いがあんまりにも酷すぎて、いつか改善されるだろうと願い続けて早数十年。。

●入園者から動物が遠いor見づらい

ゾウの園舎はゾウの場所が遠すぎる!子供達の視力では見えず、興味を持ってくれず。他の動物も、柵が三重、ガラスが反射、屋根があるせいで中が暗くてよく見えない、何を見ているやら。動物との距離が遠く、臨場感がありません。リニューアルして期待していたのですが、「魅せ方」に全然拘ってないようで、がっかりしています。結局こちらはテンションが上がらず冷めた感じで見ていくので、動物にポジティブな感情をいだけず、劣悪な環境ばかり目につくと感じます。

これだけ歴史のある動物園ですし、気軽にここまでいろんな動物園に触れ合える動物園、本当に感謝しているしずっと続いて欲しいと心から願っているのですが、大人になり色んな場所の動物園を見るにつれ、この徳山動物園の状況を耐え難く感じています。どうか運営側の...

Loved this little zoo! It was only ¥600 to get in and only took about an hour walking around. We went in Jan 2025 and they were doing construction so we didn’t get to see the giraffes but all the other animals were cool! It reminded me of the movie Madagascar. Set up in a large circle. LOTS of monkeys! I should have taken more photos but the tortoise was cool.

One of the best hanami place. However, the animals were rather ordinary. We were expecting more hands-on experience and a bit disappointed not getting to see the polar bear. The hippo's house was so small and hope that the renovation will make great ease to the lonely hippo.
