If your kids can walk by themselves, the place will be good for you because the Zoo locates a mountain. They can run and walk all through the park to see so many animals. The Zoo is not huge place but big enough for young kids and family. Walking shoes recommended. Takes 30 minutes by taxi from near Sendai station. Next to the Zoo has amusement park, too. That is why if your kids have energy to visit there, it will be another fun event for your kids.

Less than an hour drive from Sendai, there are 3 viewing areas: one a short set of stairs down from the Botanical Gardens parking lot, one from the bridge over the river below, and one by walking 5-10 minutes down some steeper stairs to the bottom of the falls themselves. The bowl of the falls is covered in lush moss and other greenery. Quite beautiful and recommended.
