As Monday was a public holiday, we decided to take our daughter to Tobe Zoo in Ehime Prefecture.<\/p>\n
The weather was a perfect 27 degrees and the sun was shining brightly. We left just before 9am and arrived at the zoo a little before 11am.<\/p>\n
The walk from the car park into the zoo is long and winding but beautiful viewing. As you enter the path toward the zoo you are greeted with a lush green backdrop of trees and a tranquil lake. There is a ramp for wheelchair or pram access to the zoo as well as a set of steps.<\/p>\n
The entrance fee was a mere 400\u5186 for adults and 100\u5186for kids between 7 and 17. A very cheap form of family entertainment indeed!<\/p>\n
The zoo was divided into ‘streets’. There was an African Street, an American Street and even an Australian Street to name a few. There were an interesting array of birds and animals both large and small and our daughter had a ball. She seemed to be afraid of the penguins but adored the elephants and the donkey!<\/p>\n
It took us about an hour and a half to walk around the zoo but we didn’t stop at the reptile house due to my fear of snakes. It was a great sized zoo – not too small and not too big.<\/p>\n I totally recommend a visit there if you’re in the area. A fantastic way to spend a few hours and a great family activity that will make memories for life.<\/p>\n![\"Tobe](\"http:\/\/gotokangaroo.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Tobe-zoo-zebra.jpg\")
