Uda Animal Park

Uda Animal Park is a zoo in Uda with enclosures for various animal species and multiple visitor areas. The grounds feature walking paths and viewing stations designed for observing the animals.

The facility opened in 2008 and introduced modern methods for teaching about wildlife and conservation in Nara Prefecture. This establishment marked a shift in how the region approached animal education.

The park displays animals in settings that mimic their natural habitats, allowing visitors to observe and interact with them up close. This direct contact helps people develop a better connection with wildlife and their environments.

Wear comfortable shoes as the grounds require considerable walking along various paths and conditions change by season. The facility is accessible for wheelchairs and has parking available on site.

Visitors can try hands-on activities like milking cows and making butter, going beyond simple animal watching. These experiences let people learn about farming practices firsthand.
