Things to do in Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan

Awesome experience at this exhibition. Total of 8 rooms and had quite an enjoyable time at each room with plentiful of photo and video opportunities! Recommended to go if you are staying near to Namba!

Fantastic indoor attraction for families! The rides, LEGO builds, and interactive activities kept everyone entertained. Great for kids and adults alike, with plenty of photo spots and creative fun. 🧱✨

Tennoji Zoo was a wonderful experience and one of the highlights of our Osaka trip. The star attraction for us was definitely the polar bear—it was amazing to see such a powerful and beautiful animal up close. The enclosure was spacious and offered great viewing opportunities. The zoo is easy to explore, family-friendly, and home to a good variety of animals from around the world. The grounds are well maintained, and we enjoyed spending several relaxing hours here. Highly recommended!

The Ferris wheel is nice. There’s not much difference with the see-through floor—it’s not that see-through anyway because the glass is already scratched. The price is the same for both the see-through and the solid flooring. Overall, it was a good experience. We enjoyed the 15-minute Ferris wheel ride.

Okay. I felt a bit nauseous after the Harry Potter 4D experience. I was dizzy, but I couldn't miss it. However, I probably won't ride it again next time. Minions was quite fun. I also remember the Jurassic World ride, and Waterworld was memorable; if you sit in the front, you'll get soaked. I waited an hour for the Donkey Kong Express Pass. It seems like you need to go early and have plenty of time. I lost track of time. For food, I had Budae Jjigae outside, and the pizza inside wasn't good. The ice was frozen solid, only five pieces, and it was so hot that the trip was tough. A parasol is a must, and reapply sunscreen frequently. It's probably not great for people who don't like rides; I went because of the kids.

The entire process is easy. scan your voucher on the bus to get your tickets (needed to board the bus again). The tour covered all the must see spots in Osaka with guide. the wait for the next bus is 1 and half hours which isn’t required in all spots so wish there were more frequent buses that run even later in the evening.

All the park staff were very friendly and attentive, especially at the Saido restaurant where I was able to enjoy a gluten-free meal without any issues. It's a shame it was raining, but we still had a great time and the wait times were quite good.

This is a very worthwhile pass. I bought it during a 50% off promotion. You can choose 3 attractions to visit, or shopping/restaurant discount coupons. I used mine for 1 attraction and 2 shopping discount coupons. The total regular price of these three items was more than double the cost of the pass I purchased. It's also very convenient to use; just scan the QR code to enter the attractions, no need to queue up again to exchange for tickets.

Went with my husband and we had a great time at the show! It was fun to learn some history of sumo wrestling along with the rules and techniques used. The wrestlers were very charismatic and fun to watch, and it was great to cheer for our favorites and then watch audience members challenge them. Overall a great experience in Osaka!
