It's a bit far from city, you need to get there via the Portline (a separate train line) that goes along the bay. Then stop at Kei Computer Mae station and it's rights below the station! It looks very tiny in a few greenhouse like houses, but once inside, there are a lot to offer and easily a stay for about 2 hours or more. There are many show times so do plan around the show times and feeding hours. Almost all shows end before 330pm so do reach latest around 12-1pm to catch most shows. There are many animals you can pet, cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, capybaras. Some you can feed, birds, parrots, fishes, sheep, alpaca, seal etc. And many that freely roam around in the different garden/greenhouse sections! There are also food stores and drink with lots of seating in the main area. It's made up of small sections/houses around the main seating area in the middle so not to worry you or your children will get tired and need some rest or food.
