Saitama Children's Zoo

Overview

Saitama Children's Zoo, located in Higashimatsuyama City, Saitama Prefecture, opened in 1980. Initially housing only livestock and a small number of birds, it has blossomed into a home for approximately 160 animal species. The zoo boasts numerous areas where you can observe animals up close, from large animals like lions and tigers to herbivores such as giraffes and elephants, aquatic birds like penguins and flamingos, and primates including monkeys and orangutans.
