    口コミ評価の高い動物園。園内はさほど広くなく、突き当りまで行ってから同じ道を引き返すようになっているので、迷う心配がない。子供連れにちょうどいいが、大人でも十分に楽しめそう。ホワイトタイガーのように、ここでしか見られない動物もいる。

    名称には科学館と書かれているが理数系の苦手な私でも、天文学や科学の仕組みを図鑑や展示だけではなく、現在でも中々、他の科学館では体験出来ないようなアトラクションや展示品が沢山在る。今現在は予約を行って安心して入れるが、予約がない場合でも入り口にて必要事項を記入すれば入館可能。初めて行く人で在れば、入館して楽しむまでには若干、苦労をするだろうが、次第に科学についてや天文の世界にのめり込んでしまい閉館時...

    日帰りバスツアーで訪問しました。入館料は無料。こんなに数多くの椿が一か所で見られるなんて。花が小さなもの、大きなもの、雄蕊めしべが筒状の物、ばらけている物、まだら、単色・・・美しいです。平日昼間なので、他に訪れる方もいないのが残念です。椿油絞の実演も拝見し、お土産に購入しました。
