Every Saturday, Maruyama Zoo is opened at night from Jul, 19 to Aug, 30 2014 and during Obon, Aug, 14 to 15, also opened. It is a very exciting opportunity for visitors to see animals who have the nocturnal habit. The Zoo opens daytime usually, you seem to look sleeping animals because of their behaviour. There are many special events in the Zoo during Night Zoo, a quiz game, a mystery tour, presents for couples(high school or college students) and so on. As very popular Night Zoo, there should be a terrible traffic jam around Maruyama Zoo, so you should go by subway and bus or walk.
