We visited this attraction on weekends of 3rd November(long holidays in Japan).its admission line to buy tickets are organized to specific period of time for entry , we already bought osaka 1 day pass (combined with admission fee to this aquarium) so it's quick, not too long wait in line. The journey begin on the top floor of the building,8th floor, with wildlife on the beach or surface water, then step dowm floor by floor with spectacular animal from japan and all over the world. The outstanding star is Giant whale shark within big tank of waters with transparent high pressure proof acrylic panes where we can observe its natural lifes with amazing grace with other marine lifes. There are many interesting exhibitions about deep sea and antarctica marine lifes, sharks,stingrays,penguins, jellyfish and kingcrabs.

Some of the animals here aren't shown anywhere else in Japan, like the dugong. There were many unusual animals, such as adorable little garden eels, and outside there was even a "petting" area with fish that clearly loved the attention!

I thought that we were going along to some small zoo in a small town in Hokkaido. Turned out to have many exhibits with most animals seemingly enjoying themselves despite there being snow on the ground - even the African ones. Usually one expects animals to be sleeping all the time but here they were up and about. Loved the different viewpoints for the "dancing hippo" and of course the penguin walk in the snow right in front of you. Well worth the trip - we actually took time off specifically to visit i.e. not a stopover for something to do, as we had seen a Japanese drama story based on the zoo

I have watched the TV news that a baby panda was born last year. When I saw the baby, I have decided to see the panda. My high expectations have not been betrayed. The name of the child panda is “Saihin” She is a girl and so active! So cute! So lovely! You must see her. Now the crazy fever of baby panda boom has been calmed down, you can watch her very well without any clouds on week days. The adult pandas except the mother of “Saihin” was not active, just sleeping. So the timing is now to watch the lovely active child panda!

Impressive aquarium and glad we put that in our itinerary . We went early to avoid the crowd , tourist buses started to come by around 10 am We also encountered a group of students on excursion so the place got crowded quickly . If you are not in a hurry (we are not) , just slowly stroll through the crowd and appreciate the different species of sea life on display. Fav window is of course the Whale Sharks & Giant Mantra Rays .. mesmerizing to see the giants swimming around We greatly enjoyed the place , time well spent P/S : If you intend to visit the Tropical Dream Center , keep the aquarium ticket . You get half price for the Tropical Dream Center entrance ticket

It was during a blizzard in early February and outdoor sightseeing was out of the question so we tried Kamo. This is quite an impressive complex of indoor aquaria displaying all manner of fish, plus a couple of outdoor pools with seals and sea lions. The highlight though were the jellyfish. So much to discover about these widely varying creatures, and a guided tour behind the scenes to see how they are bred and cultured. Well worth a visit.

You may experience the time with adrable birds in the park by watching, feeding and so forth. The park itself is quite clean and you may be excited to see the birds flying around you. "Birds Show", which I joined at the outside garden, is a lot of fun. Some birds will fly over you and behave according to the instructors' signs. What I enjoyed was penguins' walk. They were really adrable! This park should be worth visiting.

Located right by the water. All shows were great. Killer whales were the best among the four. Lots of excitement and applause from the audience throughout the performance.
