Tobu Zoo Park (東武動物公園) in Miyashiro near the city of Tokyo is a Japanese animal and amusement park, which also operates the Tobu Super Pool, a water park, during the summer months. The easiest way to reach the Tobu Group amusement park is by train to the Tobu-Dobutsu-koen Station.

Founded in 1981, the amusement park is home to a variety of family-friendly rides, including the famous Kawasemi roller coaster. The animal park belonging to the park is very species-rich, however, the species-appropriate animal husbandry is mostly not given.

Fun Fact #1: The Kawasemi roller coaster was built on the foundations of the Rocky Mountain Coaster.

Fun Fact #2: When the Ferris wheel Emma’s Cheese Windmill was constructed, you could admire for a short time two big wheels in the park.
