# Nagano Chausuyama Zoo

The zoo climbs a hillside in Nagano and has a south gate and a north gate. A monorail runs from the north car park to that gate. Feeding at the children's zoo happens every day, and a red panda talk is held indoors at weekends. Saturdays add photographs with a Kiso horse and feeding time on Lion Hill. Sundays bring an armadillo walk in summer and orangutan feeding in winter. There is no restaurant inside, and a dinosaur park under the same management stands nearby.
