Bio Park in Nagasaki

This is a really great zoo/botanical gardens to take the whole family to. The most popular exhibits are the capybara and the squirrel monkeys, but the entire park is really beautiful and fun. You are allowed to pet and/or feed just about everything in the park. Kids ages 3 and under are free and adults entry is 1200 yen. Parking is free. The first time we went we took the free shuttle that will pick you up from Huis Ten Bosch, it's an easy walk from Hario. It's also free to ride the shuttle back from Bio Park. You can't miss it, it's bright yellow, has animals painted on it and says "Bio Park." The second time we drove ourselves since by then we knew the way. It's a nice drive, not too long, and it was great getting to see other parts of Japan by ourselves.

Feeding a capybara, the largest rodent in the world!

Feeding squirrel monkeys!

They will jump right on you as soon as they see you with food for them. You can buy it right there for 100 yen.
