What impressed me most was how well behaved the hoards of excited children were. The zoo itself it immaculate, the animals well kept if not really small sanctuary s.

Although old, it is pleasant with LOTS to see. Well worth the trip, the $6 and the time. Pandas, meerkats, polar bear, and giraffes our favorites. Take a lunch as snack bars have limited selection.

I've been to the San Diego Zoo 5 years ago and although the environment is fine for the pandas. my experience was that you delve in a long line to see the pandas sleeping in their shelters so you view them through a video cam displays. Maybe times has change and the displays are better suited to viewing the pandas.... More

Great setting around an enormous pagoda in Ueno Park. Lovely to see pandas again, right near the entrance too, if you only have time for a short visit. Not a modern zoo, so some of the animals seemed to be in cramped conditions, but all in all well worth a visit.We particularly enjoyed the Polar Bear's acrobatics underwater

Okay, so I agree with many others that this zoo is a bit gloomy. The enclosures for most animals are small and somewhat run-down. However it's hardly the worst zoo in the world.

I've been to many zoos and I didn't really know what to expect from this one but I and my husband quite enjoyed our visit. We saw animals we had not seen at other zoos and enjoyed seeing the local animals. It was crowded with little ones when we went early in the morning but it was interesting to see... More

We had a great time spending the day at the zoo. The Ueno area is very nice with lots of areas to walk around and check out. PROS: Inexpensive, around $5 USD for an adult. You get a discount if you bring your passport to show you are a visitor! Lots of great animals including: Giant pandas Red panda Polar... More

This zoo has the giant panda but no koalas. Some of the animals they have only one of. I wished the did not have Cages where is is diffucult to take Picture. The maps could have been better. There are manny of the around but they forget to point out where you are on the map. There are many toilets.

In case you are interested to see a big panda for real this is the place to go. There are two of them. The zoo is reachable by subway and entering the zoo you will fing them at your right.
