Six zones that offer an overwhelming sense of immersion and lead to learning.

entrance
The entrance, with its wormhole-like light and sound effects, invites you into an extraordinary world. The colorful, multi-layered gate design, using the facility's logo colors, guides you into the world of "Wandaria Yokohama."

Zone 3: The Mimicry Forest
Set in a primeval forest, this experience zone is themed around the "mimicry" inherent in living organisms. You can relive the experience from the perspective of a swarm of butterflies taking flight from the dense forest or a scurrying wildcat, and feel the changes in space created by creatures that use mimicry. As you sit and look up at the images projected onto the walls and ceiling, an immersive experience unfolds as you climb a tree trunk from the viewpoint of a wildcat.

Zone 5: Soaring through the sky
A fantastical visual experience space where images and visitors' reflections are projected onto the floor. The ecosystem is depicted from the perspective of birds swimming on the water's surface or soaring into the sky. Enjoy a dynamic visual experience with a sense of weightlessness.

Cafe Shop
After enjoying an immersive experience on the 4th floor, you can continue to feel the lingering atmosphere of the facility in the cafe and shops on the 3rd floor. The colorful space incorporates the facility's logo colors, and original menus reflecting the facility's theme are offered, enhancing the overall value of your stay.

The facility's official smartphone app, "Wandaria App"

Deepen your experience and cultivate an interest in living creatures: By launching the facility's official app, "Wandaria App," and pointing your smartphone at the video feed, you can read about living creatures in real time. You can connect with diverse living creatures and get ideas for learning, and the creatures you discover can be collected as cards. The cards contain "Wandaria Chips" written specifically for this facility, allowing you to learn about living creatures.

In Zone 3, "The Mimicking Forest," if you hold your smartphone up to a wildcat, you can also see information about NOMURA Co.,Ltd., which is promoting forest conservation activities.
