It's an unprecedented facility where you can intuitively enjoy the beauty and wonder of living creatures. Transcending the genres of aquarium, zoo, and art museum, you can observe creatures as if they were art. The facility is divided into eight themed zones, each showcasing the charm of creatures through different themes.

The "waza ni fureru" (touching skills) zone lets you observe the unique abilities and habits of creatures. There's also the "tsunagari ni fureru" (touching connections) zone, featuring impressive large-screen visuals, and the "WONDER MOMENTS" zone, offering a fantastical light experience. These diverse exhibits offer something for everyone.
