Nagasaki Bio Park in Shimodate

Jumping monkey and great staff.

Ive been to many zoos. But this is not really a zoo! Is a giant park with animals from all over the world, mostly roaming freely! Amazing! Highly recommended.

A super fun zoo, we spent almost all day here 💖💕

3歳半の子供がとても楽しめた。動物との触れ合いができる点においては素晴らしいと思う。餌やりポイントは各所にあり、場所場所で餌やりすると100円玉が20枚はいるかもw動物達も人間慣れしていて穏やか。放牧に近い状態。だだし、動物は動物なので何があるか分からないことは人間側も理解必要。全体的に素晴らしいが、坂道ばかりで上り下りが結構しんどい。ベビーカー持参だったが、かなり辛かった。歩きやすい靴、水分大事ですし、軽装備でいくのが良いと思われる。何にしても良い場所だと思う。

何回も行ってる飽きない場所です！動物好きな方、長崎住まいの方なら是非年パスを購入された方がお得ですよ！週末はお客様も多く動物たちはお腹いっぱい気味です。平日は食いつきが良いですね。パウも同じくです。だいちゃんレイちゃん、鳥たちも愛嬌たっぷりでかわいいです！結構あるくので、夏は暑すぎて熱中症に注意ですね。起伏の激しい山の中で、道中はスタッフも少なめなので、余裕を持って、道途中にある休憩所で休み休みに行くことをおすすめします！動物たちも人馴れしてるので、とても楽しいです！餌代が半端ないですが、かわいいのであげちゃいます❤️要所要所の手書き看板はクスッと笑える要素たっぷりです！おすすめはリスザルの森ですー！フラミンゴの餌やりもスリルがあってハマります😊

九州で最も大好きな動物園です。毎年行っています。入園料大人1900円、中高生1300円、3歳〜小学生900円と動物園にしては高いですが、ここの売りは何といっても様々な動物とのふれあいが楽しめることです。これだけ触れ合えて餌やりが楽しめる動物園は私が知る限りありません。餌は100円ガチャガチャのカプセルタイプが多いので入園前に売店で両替しましょう。途中にも一応両替機はあります。とにかく動物達との距離が近く、大人も子どもも一緒になって楽しめるので満足度はかなり高いです。また行きます。

Awesome! this place is my favorite place, the capybara are so friendly and cute. Nagasaki bio park are so healthy and so strong, the best place for children!

写真好きな方にもかなりおすすめです！こんなにも動物と近い距離で楽しめる動物園は他にないんじゃないかなと思います！カップルでも、家族でも、友人と一緒でも、最高に楽しめると思いますよ！色んなエリアがあり、動物と植物共に楽しめます。写真が好きな方にもかなりおすすめです！望遠レンズもしくは望遠域をカバーできるズームレンズがあると良いかなと思います。（55mm単焦点レンズしか持って行ってなく、悔しい想いもしましたので笑）結構な距離を歩くので、カメラ機材をガッツリたくさん持って歩くのはしんどいかもしれません。ある程度絞ることをおすすめします。途中、レストランやドリンクを販売しているお店もあるので、1日中楽しめますよ♪長崎に行くなら、外せないスポットです！

入場前からラマとオウムが出迎えてくれます。他の動物園では考えられないほど近い距離で、カピバラ、フラミンゴ、カンガルー、リスザルなどと触れ合うことができます。（特にフラミンゴとカンガルーは初めて触れ合うことが出来てとても感動しました！）また、道を歩いていると道沿いの木に放し飼いのオウムがいたり、突然の出会いも楽しめます。動物とのふれあいが好きな方にはとてもおすすめです！また、随所の看板に飼育員さんのユーモアが感じられたり、温室内では変わった植物が見られたり、ヘラクレスオオカブトなどの昆虫も見られるなど、動物以外のところでも非常に楽しめました。ぜひ行ってみてください！

長崎旅行のメインとして訪れました。犬や猫達と触れ合えるPAWが込みで大人1人2000円です。園内は自然の地形を生かした作りになっていて、起伏も激しく体力的にはハードかもしれません。動物は猛獣はおらず派手さこそないものの、カピバラやカンガルーなど癒し系の動物がメインで、ほとんどの種類の動物に餌やりが出来ます。子供達はもちろんのこと大人にとっても楽しい思い出が出来ました。

This was fun! You can feed almost all the animals, including meerkats, monkeys and capybaras.The capybaras have their own onsen and heater too!There was apparently bird flu? going on so we couldnt feed the parrots + flamingoes thoAll the food has types too! 100 yen for ones in capsules and 200 yen for plants- but theres different types to those as well (you get live bugs for the meerkats!)

great place to visit on a sunny weekend

Must visit! Extraordinary interactions with animals like monkeys, Capybaras, Kangaroos. Or you can buy foods for ¥100~200 and feed most of animals there.

Awesome place with lots to see. Tons of animals to feed, but bring 100¥ pieces to get the food out of the machines. Lots of shaded areas and walks make it manageable on a hot day.

Its a bit of a trek to get to but if youre after getting up close and feeding some zoo animals this is a fun place to do so. The capybaras are clearly the stars of the place though!

Simply amazing. Highly recommend to get there early and take your time. You can interact (feed, get close to, get a greater sense ofwith most creatures.I threw cabage into the mouth of a waiting hippopotamus (I think he trained me!), spent great time the lemurs (we were besties by the end), fed kangaroos and capybaras (look them up if not familiarto name a few highlights.My description is only the tip of the iceberg of the experience. Bring lots of change for food for the creatures - it is the best value you will ever get for 100 yen.I wish all "zoos" could be this great.It is so much more than a zoo.

Super fun place. Great for kids, but be ready for a lot of walking!

Great place especially if you have a child.

Such a fun place to interact with animalsYou can even feed them.Year passes are worth it!

Much better than the usual zoo experience! In this park you are allowed to touch or feed most animals at your own risk, instead of most zoos where they are totally separate just for staring.Basically the park puts trust in you to be careful around their animals and allows you to have a much more interesting experience. We loved it

A lot lovely animals around. You can get touch with them. Recommend to go if you are around.

The capybara is really cute. There are animals in the park, all of which can be fed, and the park has a large space. It is recommended to bring children to have fun.

The animals here are wonderful. They have their own spaces to freely roam around in, and near some animal places there are feeds that you can pay a small amount for (around 200 yenthat you can interact with the animals. The staff are friendly and wonderful. The park is a bit far from town, but if you have a car be sure to visit this lovely zoo. The guided paths in the park is very lovely to walk around and take in the scenic views of the animals.

The staff was amazing, the animals were laid back... Amazing place.

I can’t recommend this place enough! Compared to many other zoos in Japan, these animals seem well cared for and well loved. They have space to roam and are free to wander in some cases. As other reviews have mentioned, it’s a good idea to bring ¥100 coins to feed the animals. It’s a great way to get up close. This is the perfect place for kids or for animal lovers.

A highly unique zoo where you can feed and touch the majority of the animals. The animals most receptive to interactions are capybaras, squirrel monkeys, and kangaroos. Indeed, the capybaras are the Bioparks mascot, but the squirrel monkeys are the real star of this zoo: highly energetic, adorable, and eager to be fed.Bring lots of ¥100 coins. You will need them to buy food for the animals from the Gacha-Gacha machines around the park.Normal tickets are ¥1700 per adult. You can pay extra to visit an extra section with cats and dogs, but I would not recommend it, because those animals seem miserable from over-stimulation.

Well organized park, adorable animals. A must-go checkpoint for family . However it is far away from the town, better to drive there instead of taking a 3hrs bus

A wonderful place if u loves animals 😍😍

Well organized zoo. We had very good time here. Too many lovely animals.

Animals are not in cage, they look so happy !

It was fun, especially if you have children

Lots of loveable animals. Beautiful stroll through the animal park! Feeding them is the best part.

It was great! My wife absolutely loved the capybaras! Alot of the animals here seem happy, but others looked miserable at times. I would definitely recommend this to familys that love the petting zoo experience. They offer a free bus from Huis ten Bosh for those without a car!

This was the best zoo we’ve ever been to. No western zoo can hold a candle to Nagasaki Biopark. The PAW area was especially wonderful because many of the animals appeared to be rescued. We spent a lot of time with the capybara and I want to become one. Be sure to come every season for Guinea Pig Bridge so you can see it every time!

The only zoo I have come across in Japan which can hold a candle to Western zoos. The animals have room to move and have personalities. There are chances to interact and feed the animals, bring lots of 100Y coins. I am not sure how the zoo regulates the food the animals get as they seem to get most of their food from visitors, and Japanese people often feed inappropriate food. Love the capybaras and their special onsen and wood fired stove in winter!

My husband and I took our 8 and 10 year old boys. Not only did the boys have a blast, so did my husband and I. This is one of the few places during our stay in Japan that my 10 year old was NOT constantly saying "Im bored." He loved it! Be aware that there are 20 different kinds of animals you can actually feed, and each different kind of food costs ¥100 so take a lot of extra ¥100 coins.

Great place! Little pricey at ¥2000 for the zoo and petting zoo- but OH SO WORTH IT. We can on a typhooning day and the animals were still out and we were able to see most animals. Theres tons of fun ways to feed the animals- we spent around ¥1000 on food for animals from the Gatcha machines stationed around.The squirrel monkeys were intense and pooped on us and stole things from our pockets- so be warned.Overall we easily spent 5 hours there, but you could walk the park no problem in 2-3 hours. Not big, but plenty to see.Delicious snacks, cook insect room, capybaras were adorable, and the petting zoo was clean and nice. Dogs, cats, rabbits, parrots, owls, Guinnea pigs, chinchilla, degu, mice, so nice!Great for kids, plenty to see and do. Lots of chairs everything for the elderly, though not the friendliest terrain. There was at least one nursing room, and stroller parking was available where needed.Great park.Children were only ¥1100 I think.

Excellent. Bring at least 10 ¥100 coins to feed animals.

Truly the best zoo in the world, in my opinion. The capybaras are fabulous and have amazing personalities; I could hang out with them all day. Taking the Haus Ten Bosch train+shuttle from Fukuoka works well, and taking the city bus from Nagasaki central train station works just fine too (takes a while but its direct and scenic).

A very fun and interactive park! Suitable for all ages. Dont miss the feeding times and the PAWs petting zoo.

The place worths a visit at just one area. The part of the big animal cages is okay, some are better living there than others, who look trapped into a tiny place , not good , and I hope that one day those animals get released to the nature, where they should live . The bad side is the little animls paw petting zone, where the guinnea pigs, rabbits and mouses are totally stressed there, some look sick,infected, and stuck at a display place where whey look like they could die in a minute of too much stress and mishandle . The animals are often being abused by kids, squeezed, touched, thrown from high altitudes like a toy and no one cares. I hope that one day, someone could save those animals from that, they will die if they live on that hell.

Rare animal for the region only. Worth visiting. Can book free shuttle bus in advance from huis ten bosch to biopark.

Lovely zoo - well worth a visit.

I would come here almost every weekend and show visitors this place! The whole zoo is pretty much a petting zoo.
