The park is huge, and a lot of the animals aren’t kept in cages. Instead, they roam in more open spaces, so driving through feels like a mini wildlife adventure.
You can see big animals like lions, tigers, bears, and giraffes up close, which is super exciting! There’s also an interactive area where you can feed smaller animals, and kids would absolutely love it.
The only thing is that the park is pretty large, so driving yourself is definitely more convenient. Really fun and unique.

Super convenient and fun to explore! It's right inside Kanazawa Station, so it's perfect for a quick visit before or after your train. There are tons of places to eat and shop—famous dessert shops, souvenirs, gold leaf products, you name it. If you're looking for Kanazawa-exclusive snacks, there are so many options here. The whole place feels clean and stylish, and it's not too crowded, so walking around is really comfortable. Especially on rainy days or when it's freezing in winter, it's awesome to just wander around and grab a bite here.

It's not too far from downtown and the transportation is fairly convenient. The grounds aren't very big, but it's quiet and there aren't too many tourists.

I paid JPY 300 to go inside, but honestly, there's not much to see. It's just a straightforward French-style building.
