沖縄こどもの国

Okinawa Zoo spreads across extensive grounds featuring 150 different species and 1000 individual animals in dedicated habitat zones.

The establishment of this zoo in 2007 marked a significant development in wildlife conservation efforts within the Ryukyu archipelago region.

The facility incorporates traditional Okinawan elements through its Ashibina area, which means playground in the local dialect.

The zoo operates from 9:30 to 17:30 on weekdays and until 21:00 on weekends, with admission free for visitors under 15 years old.

The facility maintains specific areas for animals native to the Ryukyu arc, a chain of 200 islands between Kyushu and Taiwan.
