Saitama Children's Zoo (Day w/Baby)

more at: http://www.ShoyuJapan.com

if you are ever in Saitama Prefecture and you're looking to do something fun and interesting, this may be one idea. The Saitama Children's Zoo is not only a zoo, but a nature park, so it's pretty huge. Admission is only 500yen for adults, which is cheaper than the parking. They don't have lion, tigers, elephants, etc. But they do have a good selection of animals. I can't name them all, but the ones that stuck out for me were: the kangaroos, koalas, capybaras (that bathe in their own little hot spring in winter), wallabies, Japanese cranes, lesser pandas, zebras, and giraffes. The zoo is also engineered to bring the animals as close as possible to you, real close. Watch the video.
