Nagoya Family Travel Tips: Avoid These Pitfalls! (Part 2) 🌟
📍 Nagoya Port Aquarium (Family-Friendly) 🐳 Orca whales leap out of the water, splashing the front row and drenching the audience (the kids are super excited!). 🌟🌸 Penguin parades are only available in winter, with indoor displays during summer. Our guide helped secure front-row seats for the orca show 30 minutes in advance (while we leisurely strolled around with the kids), which was incredibly nice! 🌟 ✅ Tips for a Stress-Free Visit: Arrive 40 minutes early for the orca show (or purchase priority seats for 500 yen per person). The aquarium is heavily air-conditioned, so bring a jacket. 🌟🌸 At the exit, the dolphin-shaped chocolate ice cream is a must-try! 🍦 Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens (Perfect for Little Ones) 🦒 Giraffes bend down to eat carrots from children's hands, with their eyelashes clearly visible. 🌟🌸 The zoo and botanical garden cover 3 kilometers of walking—bring a stroller or you'll be exhausted! 🐘 ✅ Honest Advice: Carrots are 100 yen per bag (limited to two bags per person) and sell out by 2 p.m. Prioritize the western area with kids (children's petting zoo + mini train), as the eastern area has steep hills. 🌟🌸For great photos, sit on the benches to the right of the flamingo area to avoid backlighting. 📸 Osaka Wholesale Market (Great for Photos) 🎎 Must-see spots: The red lantern alley next to the kimono shop (perfect light at 4 p.m. for stunning photos). 🌟🌸Overhyped: The 3000 yen gold leaf ice cream, which tastes worse than convenience store options. 🍦 ✅ Down-to-Earth Tips: Stock up on 100 yen coins for the gacha machines (some only accept change). Beware of "duty-free shops" on the street, often run by Chinese owners with inflated prices. 💰 🌟🌸 Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology 🚗 A boy's paradise: Robots assemble a car in just 5 minutes, leaving kids wide-eyed in amazement. 🌟🌸Not recommended for: Children under 6, who can only watch and not interact, making it boring for little ones. #Nagoya 🌿
