Nagasaki Penguin Aquarium

Reviewed By shannonl161 - Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan

Nagasaki Penguin Aquarium's main feature is its penguins of course . The aquarium keeps eight species of penguins, including lovable Little Penguins but its highlight being the King Penguin, which can grow to nearly 1 metre in height. It's pretty funny to see my youngest stand beside one of these King Penguins and to be challenged by its height and weight I presume as well! Another highlight of the Aquarium is to see the penguins in their natural setting swimming freely in the Bay whereby an area has been isolated by using nets and the penguins are released into this part of the ocean to be observed by visitors. You can watch them behave naturally swimming in the water at high speed to catch feed thrown by the staff, which is a scene rarely observed elsewhere in the Aquarium world. The cute little guys will come right up to you, waddle past and even take food from your hand. The is about as close as I have ever come to a real Penguin so yes it was an experience to remember and cherish with my children.

Nagasaki Bio Park

The animal at the Nagasaki Biopark re not 'on display' but are instead living as far as possible as they would in the wild. Nagasaki Biopark's breeding style is 'ecological display' ever since we first opened. Here you can touch and feed a lot of animals directly. Naturally, the reason you can touch and imteract with lemurs, squirrel monkey, capybara and so on is because there is no boundary line between you and the animals. The park is specifically designed to replicate as closely as possible the environment and ecosystem the animals are living in originally. Thus, you can see the animals living naturally and freely here.

I really love this zoo. This is my second visit this year.I will give you some tips to enjoy the day. First, there are only 2 direct buses from Nagasaki station to this zoo:departing at 8:08 & 8:43a.m. #1 with destination “Okushi 大串”(other time you have to change buses at Togitsu Hokubu bus terminal). Be careful not to get on the wrong #1car as they have too many #1buses for other destinations! It takes one and a half hours, so spend time checking details about the zoo with your mobile on board though no WIFI on the car. Biopark has its English website. From and to Huis Ten Bosch, 3 direct small buses a day. Reservation required. Second, staffs speak only in Japanese. As shown in my previous review, take translation app or good Japanese speaker with you if you don't speak it. Third, buy a raincoat before entering squirrelmonkey house, or your clothes will be tragedy. Do not let monkeys stay on your head or shoulder over 5 seconds if you want to keep your shirt clean. Do not wear necklace or earrings. Monkeys often rob you of glitter accessory. Fourth, there are many steep slopes in the park. People with difficulty in walking can enjoy themselves easier in Pet Animal World (PAW for short). You can access it from the parking lot. Of course every visitors can go in it after paying the admission fees. You can stay in PAW for max. 60 minutes. Time flies in PAW because friendly small animals give you special experience. My favorite is the white parrot called Daichan, he is 17 years old and able to say Daichan himself! Finally, not so many lockers. Make your bag as light as possible to enjoy feeding animals! Late in the afternoon, many animal foods are sold out even on weekdays. Be an early bird and have a lovely day! ここから日本語で。 長崎駅前から直通バスが朝二本だけあります。 8:08と8:43です。1番の大串行きです。やたら1番のバスがあるのでお気をつけください。大半は全然違うところに行ってしまいます。バス停は電停向かいで天井に黄色いデジタル表示の時計がある真下です。他の時間は時津北部ターミナルで乗り換えが必要。直通で一時間半ほどかかります。 ハウステンボスからは1日三本マイクロバスが出ています。予約が必要。 リスザルに服を汚されたくない方はレインコート必須です。5秒以上肩や頭に載せないように。軽く手で払うとどいてくれるそうです。(私は乗られたことがないので、スタッフさんから聞いた話)キラキラしたものは盗られてしまうので、アクセサリーは外してカバンに入れてから入場すること。 園内は坂と階段がたくさんあります。足の弱い方はペットアニマルワールドがおすすめ。駐車場からすぐです。制限時間は60分。自分で名乗るオウムのダイちゃんがかわいい。 親御さんのワンオペはかなりきついと思います。エサやりが充実した動物園なので、ポケット多い服とかリュックやウエストバッグなど、両手が使えるようにするのがおすすめ。えさガチャガチャのカプセルを開けるためにも。坂ではベビーカーをずっと押すと筋トレ化します。なるべく大人のお供がいると楽です。コインロッカーはありますが少ないです。 閑散期なら動物から寄ってきてくれます。夕方はエサが売り切れるので、来園はお早めに! すごくいいところだよ。楽しんできてね!
