Hirakata Park

This is a perfect place to visit if you have children and for your-self. There are many activities and rides for you to do and enjoy. Although the fun park is old it is still enjoyable. They have some great places to sit and eat / drink or just rest and relax. They have great facilities around the park and are very clean. I went with a number of school children to use the snow park and although it was more like shaved ice the children had a great time building and sliding and just being silly. Inside also they have a very small zoo (if you can call it that). The staff are very curtious and extremely helpful. All information and maps are clear and easy to follow. Just be-aware that it is a destination for schools as a school trip so it can get very crowded with children. the car park is at the highest point of the park so when you are leaving it is a bit of a hike up. Still a great day out

Bought the one day pass from KKday, no need to wait and convenient. the employee are very friendly. some of measurement need the understanding of Japanese. but some of the employee can speak English . and some measurement provides the Chinese instruction at front entrance.
Eating is also convenient. There is a Mcdonald in the campus,also a dining cafeteria sells Raman & Curry rice.

Love the machine, my family felt in love. Easy to access. Just only 10 minutes walk from public transportation.
Recommend the one you would love to have enjoy without annoying. Play multiple time you want. Environment was really good. Restrooms with extremely clean.

Good for kids.
Sakura is very beautiful. In season of Sakura full bloom.

This place is great for all ages. The rides are classic, nothing fancy but enjoyable. Take note some rides might stop service at a certain time of day. Also is well worth waiting for the special lights to start at 5 pm. So pretty. Definitely will visit again.
Food is not vegan-friendly, is time to add vegan options.

I would like to recognize one amazing employee and one work station it’s about last month when my family travel to the park and lose my cell phone,she help us to find out cell phone , I am really appreciate it , and I also thanks Hirakata park manager team to model up for all the amusement park a good service

Enough of Universal Studios Osaka crowds and endless queues? This theme park is the one. Get the Keihan Hirakata pass for metro discount and pay 3300 Yen for whole day excess. Not crowded even on weekend.

A quiet amusement park with children's games and a very beautiful view, has many seats to sit, you can take food with you into the park, and of course there are all kinds of food and snacks inside the park at a reasonable price, McDonald's also has a branch there.

Lots to keep young kids entertained. My 5 year old enjoyed many but was too small to ride a few things, or had to ride with a parent. My 7 year old was big enough to ride everything on her own and loved it. A great park for families, but keep in mind the rides are very much for kids.

The illuminations are beautiful! Less crowded than other big amusement park in Osaka but some rides are not working due to maintenance. Also there's a bit waiting line to go on the roller-coaster ride (about 30mins). Overall it was a fun and more relaxing place to go especially for the illumination ❤

There are a lot of rides which small kids can enjoy. I think this park is better than USJ for small kids. Of course, older kids and adults also can enjoy.
Tickets and free ride pass are not too expensive. There are not long queue even in weekend.

A fantastic place with kids
You don’t need to worry about meals. The restaurants offer delicious food in affordable prices. I ordered curry rice.
The waiting time for each ride is short, approximately 15min.

Very high CP value for kids if children are not fitted for USJ. suggest spending one day here. Beer available for parents. Buy entrance tickets at klook which offer discount if you take Keihan Electric Railway from Namba.

Great park to bring kids to. 45min drive away from Osaka so not easy to get to, but if you need a day for the kids to have their fun, this is a good option. Many rides available for wide range of ages.

Nice place to spend a day at. It can be very crowded during weekends and holidays. You can choose from a free pass ticket or pay for what you play. Make sure to bring sunglasses, a hat, and some snacks.

Good value and fun amusement park for the family with good rides but without all the extra cost associated with licensed characters and merchandises like other more more well known and heavily advertised theme parks. Highly recommended.

Had lots of fun, vibe is complete opposite of USJ

A family-friendly theme park which still retains its old-school charm. Mainly popular with locals resulting in shorter queuing time. Lots of rides for people of all ages! Beautiful Sakura trees line the pathways, making it mesmerising when in bloom! (Visited in April, spring time). Last but not least, a mini petting zoo (separate charges apply) with an ever-friendly llama always lurking around for treats!
Charges:
1. Entrance fee only, to enter the park, each rides are payable individually.
2. Entrance fee + All access pass for all rides, unlimited times

Sophisticated family park, 1,500 yen is bit hi, so pre-sold ticket is cheaper, Osaka Ekimae Bldg ticket shop at half a price is available. Also suitable for couples spending half a day in good mood. Kiku-Ningyo starts on 27th October this year. Photographer will obtain several good works there. Wooden Jet-coaster is under dormant.

Great park at a reasonable distance from Kyoto.
A bit old school compared to USJ but worth a day trip for roller coaster lovers.
Few foreigners tourists and no queue on weekdays.
