Don't rush through! There's a lot of interesting info on the animal exhibits. Take your time, and enjoy the little details. I wished I had lingered longer.

Bring a picnic lunch. The zoo has some nice spots to eat, and it saves you money on overpriced snacks.

if you're on a budget, look for discount tickets online before your visit. i saved a few hundred yen that way!

My advice is to bring some snacks and water. The food options inside are kinda limited and pricey, so you’ll save some cash and have more time to explore!

I think it's worth checking out the special animal talks. They have a schedule posted around, and it’s a great way to learn more about the animals directly from the zookeepers!
