Pushchairs are hired at the north, south and west gates for 100 yen, with no booking. The hire ones are B-type, for children up to three who can sit up, so a smaller baby needs your own. The Service Centre in Wanpaku Kingdom lends a microwave for warming baby food. Nobody is paged over a loudspeaker, so fix a meeting point on arrival. - Area: chiba - Type: park - Average stay: 270 min - Hours: 9:30 to 16:00 on an ordinary day. It stays open to 17:00 only on weekends and public holidays from 8 April to 31 October, and every day from 20 March to 7 April, on 15 June, and from 20 July to 31 August. There is no last-admission time; you leave when it closes. Closed Mondays, except that it opens on public holidays and through the spring, summer and winter school holidays. The car park opens thirty minutes before the gates. Rides stop taking people thirty minutes before closing, earlier when it is busy. - Last verified: 2026-08-16 ## Family facts (value + conditions + source + verified date) | Feature | Value | Conditions | Verified | Source | |---|---|---|---|---| | Stroller friendly | Yes | Hire at any of the three gates (north, south, west) for 100 yen a go, no booking. The hire pushchairs are B-type: up to age three, able to sit up, 15 kg or less - so a baby who cannot hold their head up cannot use one. You may bring your own, but the park notes that some pushchairs cannot be brought in. Wheelchairs are lent free at the same gates. Bicycles, tricycles, scooters and other wheeled toys are not allowed. | 2026-08-16 (web) | [source](https://www.park-funabashi.or.jp/and/barrier_free.html) | | Diaper changing table | Yes | Changing tables are in the nursing rooms at the Service Centre and the Hana-no-shiro Rest House, and in some of the toilets. | 2026-08-16 (web) | [source](https://www.park-funabashi.or.jp/and/faq.html) | | Nursing space | Yes (4) | Four rooms - the Service Centre, the Fairy Tale Hall, the children's art museum and the Hana-no-shiro Rest House - and they are not all fitted out the same way. Hot water for formula is at the Service Centre and the Rest House; at the art museum, ask a member of staff. If you need to warm baby food, the Service Centre in the Wanpaku Kingdom zone lends a microwave (there is none for general use in the park). | 2026-08-16 (web) | [source](https://www.park-funabashi.or.jp/and/faq.html) | | Family restroom | Yes (15) | Eighteen toilet blocks in all, fifteen of them wheelchair-accessible and four fitted for ostomates.

If a child goes missing, go to the Service Centre in the Wanpaku Kingdom zone or the Community Centre in the Merhen Hill zone, or tell any member of staff, and staff will search the grounds. There is no Wi-Fi in the park; public phones are at the north and south gates. | 2026-08-16 (web) | [source](https://www.park-funabashi.or.jp/and/guide.html) | | Stroller access notes | Yes | Parking is 500 yen (300 from 1 December to 15 March) and opens thirty minutes before the gates; weekdays are usually fine, weekends can fill, and the long holidays are heavy enough that the park asks people to come by public transport. Motorbikes park free at the bicycle racks by the north, south and west gates. There are three gates and pushchairs and wheelchairs are hired at all of them. Inside, most paths have no steps but some have stairs or slopes, and the only lift is in the children's art museum. Coin lockers are 100 yen at the north gate, south gate, Service Centre and art museum, with larger ones at 200 yen at the north and south gates; there is no left-luggage desk. Ask at a gate for a re-entry ticket if you go out, but the car park charges again if you drive out and back. | 2026-08-16 (web) | [source](https://www.park-funabashi.or.jp/and/faq.html) | | Steps & slope caution | Not checked yet | | | | | Child switch (rider swap) | Not checked yet | | | | ## How to cite these facts Free to reuse.
