- Guides and programs: learn about animals in a fun way from the zoo's animal specialists at the "Maruyama ZOO Guide", held with daily-changing content; on Sundays, volunteers lead the "Sunday Guide". Tour guides and various programs can also be requested at any time.

What can I do at Sapporo Maruyama Zoo?
From polar bears to orangutans, here is what to look out for:
- Polar Bear House: a highlight of the zoo, where polar bears and seals are shown side by side as part of the Arctic ecosystem. Watch them swim lively from various angles, including from an underwater tunnel.
- Elephant house: one of the largest in Japan, home to 5 Asian elephants, including baby elephant Tao, born in August 2023, and Tao's mother, Pearl.
- Water areas both outdoors and indoors keep the elephants comfortable even in Sapporo's cold winters.
- Tao's growth from day to day is drawing a lot of attention.
- Orangutan and Borneo Forest: a new facility opened in May 2024 that realistically recreates, indoors, the tropical environment of Borneo, where orangutans live, with ceilings up to 8 m high.
- To maintain the plants and humidity, a squall falls every day at 14:00 during opening hours; enjoy the powerful moment from a spot under a roof.
- Hokkaido animals: many animals unique to Hokkaido, such as the Ezo snow hare.
We look forward to seeing you at Maruyama Zoo, surrounded by rich nature.
