Angel Land Fukui

Reviewed By momocachan

I am a teenager who has gone to Fukui for many summers. Although I am probably the oldest one there every time I visit, I still love to go as it is fun and nostalgic. The outdoors is free, as well as climbing the dinosaur, but there is a small fee for adults to accompany children in the inner science exhibits. This place is affordable, mentally stimulating for children, and really fun. There also vending machines and a small cafe. I have personally enjoyed playing in the small stream around the playground, as there are frogs and tadpoles to observe (in the Summer). I highly recommend this place to make good memories!
