Tennoji Zoo Reviews

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!

We purchased two-day tickets for our family trip, which included two adults and two elementary school children. Although there isn't a separate child fare for the tickets, we were able to enjoy a classic Osaka trip at a great value, visiting Tsutenkaku Tower, the Tsutenkaku Tower Slider, the Umeda Sky Building Observatory, the Wonder Cruise, and the Osaka Bay Twilight Cruise! Even though it was crowded everywhere during the Obon holiday, it was a great advantage that some locations had dedicated ticket counters for the Rakuyu Pass, allowing us to exchange our tickets without waiting in line to purchase them!

Abeno Harukas Observatory is a must-visit viewpoint in Osaka. Its impressive height offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the entire city, providing an incredibly open vista. On clear days, you can see for miles, and both daytime and nighttime views have their unique charm, with the night view being particularly stunning as the city lights create a spectacular sea of illumination. The observatory boasts a spacious layout with glass designs that ensure an unobstructed view, making it excellent for photography. It never feels cramped, allowing visitors to stroll and admire the scenery at their leisure. There's also a cafe and seating areas inside, where you can relax and enjoy the high-altitude views. Compared to other observatories, Harukas stands out for its height and superior comfort. Crowd control is also managed quite well, contributing to a very pleasant overall experience. While the ticket price might not be the cheapest, it is definitely worth it. Overall, it's a highly recommended attraction. If you want to see the most beautiful panoramic views of Osaka, this place will certainly not disappoint!

Buying the ticket on Klook was super easy and made getting through the queues so much more practical - totally worth it! It was my first time at Universal Studios Japan and we were able to stick to our planned schedule and make the most of the day. ease of booking on Klook: We even got to catch unexpected events like the zombie show at night in the park. The attractions are really fun and family-friendly. Just be prepared for the lines - the average wait is around 1 hour. I went with my elderly mother and two of her friends, no kids with us, and we still managed to enjoy every ride.

queue times: jeez! im sure without the express pass it would have taken me hours to wait in line, and honestly i dont have the patience for that. so the express pass is really convenient, even though it is expensive

A must-visit observation deck when you’re in Osaka! 🌇✨ My tip is to visit around sunset, when you can witness the breathtaking transition from the golden evening sky to the sparkling city lights. The view is simply gorgeous and absolutely amazing — an unforgettable experience you shouldn’t miss!

We found the one day Osaka Amazing pass worthwhile. We scanned the QR code from my phone at subway stations for both myself and my partner one by one, it was so convenient. We planned our journeys using Google maps according to trains listed so as to make it worthwhile. First we did Umeda Sky building for viewing from its observatory deck, then the Tsutenkutu tower observation deck. We did not do the sky walk there or the slide. I did have trouble bringing up my Klook App here as I was getting no internet. They dont have wifi, only in nearest McDonald's to see the QR code. We eventually managed to log in via the website. Next we took trains to Osaka Castle. Afterwards we used the pass to do the Gozabune boat ride after exchanging our QR code for a timed ticket. Went back via a road train which we paid senior(over 65) rate of ¥200. Our final activity for the day was the Tombori river cruise in Dotonbori area. Highly recommend this day pass.

Had an absolute ball. super friendly staff, safety was excellent with hand rail getting into boat and comfortable seating. Fun captain and music made it super enjoyable and some brief history in various languages. well thought out quick 20 minute tour but worth it for the experience and photos.
