A Real Parent's Story
The penguin walk made my daughter's entire trip
“They let the penguins waddle down a carpeted ramp right past the visitors. My 4-year-old's jaw dropped.”
Read full story
We almost skipped this for the more famous aquariums in Shinagawa. So glad we didn't. The tuna tank is mesmerising — they circle endlessly in this giant donut tank and kids press their faces against the glass. But the highlight was the penguin parade. They waddle out single-file and you can stand right beside the path. Our younger daughter was speechless. At under $10 entry for adults and free for kids under 6, this is an absolute steal.
