You can make advanced reservations to secure your tour inside the tower, a steel “tree of life” that stretches as high as 41 meters tall. ※Same day tickets can be purchased only if available.
The park grounds include a Natural and Cultural Gardens, with plenty of trees and flora in bloom across all four seasons, a Japanese Garden and other areas including a 82-meter high view tower that overlooks the city. At the tunnel of colors you can peer through orange screens to simulate a bug-eyed view.
At the Japan Folk Crafts Museum you’ll find exhibits that celebrate folk crafts, anthropologic studies and research. The EXPO’70 Pavilion, which was once the Steel Pavilion during the 1970 World Expo, has a collection of 80 items and 3,000 important documents on display.
In March 2020, the park saw the opening of Bampaku BEAST, the world’s biggest athletic tower. The hexagonal shaped scaffolding is equipped for 120 different kinds of activities, including climbing and slacklining.

很喜歡萬博裹面有一個~地主國藝術家岡本太郎為萬博會設計了一座高塔「太陽之塔」，即使萬博會結束後相關建物都撤了，而太陽之塔仍然被留下來~真的很感動
非常大而且安靜的公園，有多種花卉裡面花開得很美。
萬博記念公園的象徵，經歷這麼多年還屹立不搖，據傳擁有神秘的力量也是1970年代日本的榮耀代表。
萬博公園加上附近的動物博物館、LaLaport，就可以玩一天。
很大的一個公園，雖然離市區有些遠，喜愛郊外踏青的人很適合來這裡。
