This is the page for purchasing admission tickets to Sapporo Maruyama Zoo.
- With seasonal flowers and comfortable indoor facilities, this zoo is fully air-conditioned and heated, allowing you to relax and enjoy yourself all year round, and is packed with the charms of Hokkaido.
- The highlight of the zoo is the Polar Bear House, where polar bears and seals are displayed side by side as part of the Arctic ecosystem, and you can watch them swimming lively from various angles, including through an underwater tunnel.
- The elephant house, one of the largest in Japan, has both indoor and outdoor water areas, allowing the elephants to live comfortably even in Sapporo's cold winters. A baby elephant named Tao was born in August 2023, and his daily growth is attracting attention.
- The new facility, "Orangutans and the Borneo Forest," will open in May 2024. The indoor space, up to 8 meters high, will realistically recreate the tropical environment of Borneo, where orangutans live.

- Sapporo Maruyama Zoo is Hokkaido's first zoo, located in Maruyama Park, in the city center and easily accessible. You can see around 140 species of animals living vibrantly amid the seasonal scenery typical of Hokkaido. The zoo also has extensive indoor facilities, with many glass surfaces so you can get a close look at the animals. The animal enclosures and feeding methods have been carefully designed to create an environment similar to the animals' natural habitat and bring out their abilities. The zoo is also committed to improving animal welfare and various conservation activities so that the animals can live healthy lives in keeping with their species.
In addition to being able to enjoy flowers of all seasons in the park, there are many indoor facilities, so you can take a break in air-conditioned facilities in the summer and heated facilities in the winter. It is an attractive facility where you can enjoy watching animals while taking your time and experiencing the unique charm of Hokkaido.
The "Maruyama Zoo Guide" is a fun way to learn about animals, led by an animal specialist, and is held on a daily basis. On Sundays, volunteers hold "Sunday Guide" sessions. We also accept reservations for tour guides and various programs at any time.
We look forward to seeing you at Maruyama Zoo, surrounded by rich nature.
In the underwater tunnel of the Polar Bear House, you can see the polar bears swimming from various angles.
This is one of the largest elephant houses in Japan, and is home to five Asian elephants, including the baby elephant "Tao" born in 2023 and his mother "Pearl."
"Orangutans and the Borneo Forest" recreates the habitat of orangutans on the island of Borneo indoors. The ceiling is up to 8m high to accommodate orangutans, who live in the trees.
The zoo also keeps many animals unique to Hokkaido, such as the Ezo snow hare, which lives in Hokkaido.
