Okinawa Zoo & Museum

This was an awesome place! Din expect to have such a natural cave in Okinawa!

It is not comparable to many zoos and amusement parks in China. The overall rural flavor is stronger, and some animals are kept in very small cages. But it also wins in the emotional value brought by the rural atmosphere. Many flowers and scenery remind people of the 1990s. In fact, it is also quite beautiful. It may be a good time travel to childhood.

Easy to use and can be redeemed at any time. The park is also very good, especially suitable for children. It is worth recommending to go. The whole park is very clean, and there is also a part of the science museum to visit, and then there is an animal area, built on the mountain.

In fact, it is a small local zoo, more Japanese style, that is, all kinds of things are very small, the zoo is also small, the amusement park is small, and the ethnic village is also small. It feels a bit like a small zoo that locals often visit on weekends. There is a retired helicopter on the left side of the entrance that you can experience riding, and the children are very excited. However, the third floor of the Magic Museum is more suitable for children to play, and it is the kind that can be played for a long time. Overall, it is not bad, suitable for bringing children to visit for a few hours, and don't miss the Magic Museum. Zoo tickets are 500/100, Magic Museum tickets are 200/100 It may be the off-season now, many projects are not operating, and I give it 3 stars for this cost-effectiveness.

First of all, I would like to say that this place is more suitable for children, especially the science and Technology Museum inside. Children can't walk for half a day after they come. The zoo has Asian elephants, giraffes, crocodiles... The children like it very much. Secondly, I want to talk about the location and transportation. I live in Xindu heart of Naba city. I go by bus. The route is No. 21 or No. 90. The bus stop at the gate of DSF is called Children under 6 are free. In Okinawa, Google Maps has a bit of trouble finding buses. There are also several waves of fighter planes flying overhead every day, because there are well-known bases in Japan, such as Jiajunna, Naba, Putiantian and so on.

It is actually a small zoo + a children's toy area (small train/carousel level) + a small science museum; It can only be regarded as a second-tier attraction in Okinawa, very simple~~~ If you live near the American Village, it is still okay to go there while strolling around and playing with your kids.

The Ryukyu Islanders in Okinawa are descendants of Polynesian immigrants and the original Japanese. Before the Southern Song Dynasty, they belonged to the Austronesian region of Kyushu, and later became independent as the Ryukyu Kingdom. During the Ming Dynasty of China, the ruler of the Ryukyu Islands was named the Ryukyu King, citing the old list of Taiwan, hundreds of years after the Ryukyu separated from the mainland of Kyushu. Due to the convenience of waterways, it is a trade hub for neighboring countries. By the end of the 19th century, the Ryukyu Kingdom had been recovered by the Satsuma Domain of Kagoshima. In 1879 after the Meiji Restoration, the Ryukyu Kingdom was incorporated into Japan, and Okinawa Prefecture was established in the same year. After World War II, it was occupied by the United States. In 1972, the United States returned the administrative power of the Ryukyu Islands to Japan.

Okinawa Children's Kingdom is a family-friendly attraction with a zoo and museum inside, which is very suitable for children to visit together. The zoo is built on the mountain and is not large in scale, but there are many interactive activities with animals, such as feeding giraffes, kissing chicks and hamsters, etc. The paid museum near the entrance of Okinawa Children's Kingdom is also a must-see for visitors. The museum has scientific games and art workshops. The cleverly designed and easy-to-understand displays make the originally boring scientific principles vivid and interesting.
