Say Hello to the Giant Pandas and Other Animals
About this spot
Japan's oldest zoo, opened in Meiji 15, home to about 300 species of animals including giant pandas. The East Garden and West Garden are connected and walkable. Displays like elephants, gorillas, and the interactive Children's Zoo Step feature attractions that captivate young children—you'll find there's not enough time even for half a day. The facility's variety is remarkable.
Tips
Giant pandas are easiest to see with the shortest wait times right after opening. Baby stroller rentals and nursing rooms are available. Closed on Mondays, so check the calendar beforehand. Admission is free for elementary school students and younger.
Best time to visit
Allow 2.5 to 3 hours. Arriving right when the zoo opens is recommended.
