Water Play Until Evening in the 110cm-Deep Flowing Pool and Slide

About this spot

An outdoor leisure pool within Miyazaki City Phoenix Natural Zoo (宮崎市フェニックス自然動物園) that operates from July 4 (Saturday) to September 13 (Sunday) in 2026. However, note that it does not operate every day; it is open only on July 4–5, 11–12, 18 through August 30, and September 5–6, 12–13, so confirming the schedule in advance is essential. The 110cm-deep flowing pool is a star-level attraction where simply drifting leisurely on a float brings great satisfaction. Those 120cm or taller can try the water slide and it can be enjoyed from elementary school students to adults. A shallow children's pool area is provided for younger children, and surrounded by lush greenery in the zoo-adjacent environment, the whole family can fully enjoy water play until evening.
