"Dream Night at the Zoo" is an international initiative that invites children with disabilities and their families to zoos after closing hours for a fun and memorable experience. It began in 1996 at the Rotterdam Zoo in the Netherlands.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Zoos and Aquariums (Ueno Zoo, Tama Zoo Inokashira Park Zoo, and Tokyo Sea Life Park) have endorsed this initiative, and Inokashira Park Zoo will hold "Dream Night at the Zoo" after closing time on Saturday, June 8, 2019.

We offer programs for the visually impaired and sign language support for the hearing impaired. Please take this opportunity to enjoy the park at your leisure.
