Children's Petting Zoo

About this spot

This is an area inside Tokyo German Village where you can interact with small animals. It centres on creatures children can approach without fear, such as goats and guinea pigs, so it suits a first animal experience. Some children are so surprised by the sensation in their palm when they offer food that they let out a shout. The grounds are hilly and involve a lot of walking, so touring the animal area first thing in the morning while everyone is fresh makes the rest of the itinerary easier. Because it sits on open ground at the top of a hill, the breeze comes through and it stays relatively comfortable even outdoors.

Season & hours

Name: 東京ドイツ村 せせらぎ

Date & time: 開設期間は未発表 (例年は夏休み期間)

Venue: 袖ケ浦市・東京ドイツ村

東京ドイツ村の園内を流れる水遊び場「東京ドイツ村 せせらぎ」です。地下水を利用した全長約85mの小川で、芝生広場のすぐそばを流れているため、遊んでは休み、休んではまた遊ぶという行き来がしやすいのが大きな利点。プールのように区切られていないので、流れをたどって歩く、水をせき止める、葉を流すなど、子どもが自分で遊び方を見つけられます。丘の上の開けた場所を流れているぶん風が通り、水から上がったあとも心地よく過ごせます。入園には料金が必要で、2026年の開設期間は未発表、例年は夏休み期間に水が流れます。

Tips

開設期間が未発表のため、出かける前に公式サイトで当日の通水状況を確認してください。入園料と駐車料金は変わることがあるので、最新の金額も同時に確認しましょう。川底や石は滑りやすいので、素足ではなくマリンシューズやサンダルが安心です。日陰は限られるためレジャーシートと帽子を用意し、こまめに水分をとってください。おむつが取れていない子は水遊び用おむつを使いましょう。
