Nifrel, Public aquarium and zoo at Expocity, Suita, Japan
Nifrel combines aquatic displays, terrestrial animal exhibits, and artistic installations across eight themed zones featuring diverse species in custom environments.
The facility opened its doors in November 2015 as part of the Expocity complex, introducing an integrated approach to animal exhibitions in Japan.
The name stems from Japanese 'Kansei Nifrel,' reflecting the institution's mission to create connections between visitors and living creatures through sensory experiences.
Entry costs 2,200 yen for adults and 1,100 yen for children aged 7-15, with operating hours from 10:00 to 18:00 daily.
The Colors zone presents marine creatures in cylindrical tanks with changing room colors and synchronized music to enhance the viewing experience.
