ABOUT

About this spot

Located in EXPOCITY within Osaka's Expo Commemoration Park, NIFREL is an entirely new type of facility produced by Kaiyukan. Built on the concept of "touching your senses," it features exhibits that blend elements of an aquarium, a zoo, and an art museum. The facility is divided into zones with themes that bring out each creature's individuality, such as "Colors," "Skills," and "Forms," with artistic spatial design. In the "Touching Movement" zone in particular, you can walk among animals such as ring-tailed lemurs and capybaras moving freely, and you will be amazed at how close you get. The light art "WONDER MOMENTS," projected onto a giant spherical screen, offers a fantastical immersive experience. Being fully indoors, it is comfortable even on rainy days. From educational family trips to dates for adults, it is a spot to forget everyday life and sharpen your senses.
