Maruyama Zoo

Staying in Sapporo, I chose Maruyama Zoo for short day trip as easy to access.

Many parents read about Asahiyama Zoo which was one of the most popular place to go. Recently there was marketing efforts made for Maruyama zoo with huge range of merchandises like ramen, stationeries, snacks, towels,etc.

The english site:

Direction : Takes about 8 min. by bus. From the bus terminal at Maruyama koen Subway Station, take either Nishi (West) 15 Dobutsuen line and get off at Dobutsuen mae (5 min. walk), or Nishi (West) 14 Araiyama line and get off at Sogo Ground mae (5 min. walk).

You can try walking towards the zoo, but when I stepped out of the subway station, it was very cold and there was no signboard or direction ..... so I decided to just take bus rather than carry 1 toddler and hold the other. 

The close up looking at snow leopard was really an amazing! It was a good size zoo with many interesting animals that come face to face.

Even during winter when they close early at 4pm, just about to sunset, we strolled and had an relax learning experience.

Kids below age 6 are free.

Just above me!!
