Okinawa Children's World Zoo and Museum, A Paradise of Fun and Learning for Kids

5 Chome 7 Goya, Okinawa shi, Okinawa ken 904-0021 Japan

Suitable for children

Introduction

Okinawa Children's Kingdom is located in the northern part of Okinawa City. It consists of three facilities: "Nature Land," "Wonder Museum," and "Children's Center," providing fun and inspiration for children. Nature Land is the southernmost zoo in Japan, housing 130 species of animals. The unique mountainous layout allows for interactive experiences with animals, such as feeding giraffes. The restaurant here offers affordable prices, but the taste is average. Wonder Museum is a delightful surprise, where you can play and learn at the same time. You can experience works and installations designed by domestic and international artists. Although Wonder Museum is designed for children, the exhibits are exquisite and presented in an engaging and understandable manner, making science principles more lively and interesting. It is recommended to allocate a whole day and bring your children to enjoy the experience.

This option is both time-saving and cost-effective.
