👍👍 I went on a weekday between Golden Week, and it wasn't crowded at all, so I didn't have to pay for parking on weekdays. The park was kept pretty clean and it was 500 times more fun than I had imagined! You can get food to give to the animals at the entrance, but there are several places in the park...
