There’s something about caged animals that always - regardless of grandeur - bothers me about zoos. With that said, Sapporo Zoo exceeded expectations.
The grounds are much larger than expected and the numerous enclosures seem more spacious that other zoos of its size.
Admission was ¥800 for adults on the day of our visit; a fair price.

We enjoyed a family visit to this zoo, where everything was attractively laid out and well maintained. All the animals looked healthy and, generally speaking, well stimulated - constriction compared with the natural environment is always difficult to manage. Parking was easy, although might be more difficult at very busy times? The zoo is situated in a larger, very attractive park in a lovely part of Sapporo.

The zoo is very spacious and well maintained. It was very pleasant to stroll around here. You will need 2 hours to go around and see everything.
You will see some rare winter animals like the amur tiger, red panda, snow leopard, polar bear and wolf.
We enjoyed our visit here very much and highly recommend this place.

Deplorable conditions for some of the animals make this one of the most depressing places I’ve ever seen. How it isn’t illegal to treat animals this way is unbelievable. The hippos are jammed into an indoor pen and separated from one another. One stood with his head in the corner, his mate lay on the other side of the barrier, completely despondent. If there was something I could do, I certainly would…

Took us 10 minutes on foot from the subway station. The zoo was small but well maintained. We enjoyed walking around and seeing the animals encountering their living environments. The red panda, polar bear, giraffe were among our most favourable ones. Staff could speak the basic English.
