The immersive experience was great, but there were just too many people, and the park itself isn't very big. If you weren't constantly queuing, you could probably leave in about an hour. We ended up staying for about three hours, including browsing the shops. If the ticket price were a little lower, it would probably be more worthwhile.
Arrive early and show your QR code to the staff, who will then provide you with the complete ordering rules and menu. The store is decorated adorably, and the food and drinks are good too. Cute things abound everywhere. After your meal, you can go next door to buy family restaurant merchandise. The 6th floor occasionally hosts Chiikawa pop-up shops; this time it happened to be a dinosaur-themed one. On B2, you can also buy Chiikawa Land merchandise!
Even with admission tickets, we still waited in line for about an hour. You order your food at the counter at the entrance, and you also need to buy merchandise first, otherwise you'll have to queue again if you want to buy more after you finish eating. Once seated, the staff will ask if you want any changes to your toppings. The interior is very cute. The large ramen portion was a bit too big. The ramen broth was good.
This place is perfect for bringing children; we had a great time even without kids. It offers both scenic views and educational content, perfect for taking photos and learning a lot about aquatic life!
