The Okinawa Zoo is a wide open nature park of multiple fun zones including its three story Wonder Museum full of pint-sized exhibits and play opportunities. The museum appears to be a one story building until entering it to find a wide staircase spiraling down into ever increasing mysteriousness. Cosplay stations, water experiments galore, lighting exhibits, spinning gravity balls, collapsible collages, and more await throughout its cavernous play areas. The Wonder Museum admission is 200 yen for adults and 100 yen for children in addition to the Okinawa Zoo admission of 500 yen for adults and 100 yen for children.

Wonder Museum has three levels that can be accessed via a large spiral staircase

A half million plastic pins can be pushed to form facial or hand imprints

Experimentation with lights is one of dozens of hands-on exhibits
