At Obihiro Zoo, the popular program “ObiZoo Exploration Team” will be held, allowing participants to explore the zoo with guidance from a zookeeper. Depending on the animals, you may have the chance to visit backstage areas that are normally inaccessible, offering a unique and memorable experience.
This special guided tour lets you observe animals up close and learn about the behind-the-scenes aspects of animal care. It’s a valuable learning opportunity not only for children who love animals, but also for adults. Be sure to check the application period and consider joining.
