Tennoji Zoo (with kids)

Ticket: 500Y it's next to Tennoji Park, but not the same. If you go to the park, walk across the bridge to the other side. If enter directly, that's the zoo which you will pay the money.

The enclosures are close to each other, making it easy and relaxing to walk through. You can comfortably see everything in about an hour and a half, with enough time to enjoy and observe the animals. Tickets are very cheap — only 500 yen per adult — a much better price than in m...
