モリコロパークを見渡そう!東海地方最大級の「大観覧車」

If necessary, follow the re-entry procedure and walk to the right. You can see the big Ferris wheel on the other side of the rest area where Mos Burger is located.

If you are not using Aichi Children's Center, please walk from the north parking lot towards the Ferris wheel. If you are visiting by Linimo, you can access from the west exit of the park.

6 people per car. 600 yen per person over 3 years old (free for children under 2 years old).

This giant Ferris wheel is the largest in the Tokai region, boasting a height of 88m. Wheelchairs can use it, and there are also pet-friendly gondolas.

When you go inside, you will notice that the window is huge!

It offers panoramic views.

It's too high and the scenery that you can see is thrilling.

The air conditioning works even on hot days, so you can relax and enjoy the scenery for a while. Please enjoy a walk in the air for about 20 minutes.

The Linimo can be seen depending on the timing, so it's great for people who love vehicles.

There is also a children's amusement park "Family Ai Land" in the Ferris wheel area. There were battery cars and game centers. Even children who are still afraid of rapids can enjoy riding with this cute dolphin.

300 yen per person per lap. From elementary school age alone, children over 2 years old must be accompanied by a guardian. Children under the age of 2 are not allowed.

Let's play while taking a break "lawn open space"

There is a lawn area on the way from the Ferris wheel to the nature experience playground equipment, and it is managed very neatly. You can spread out the rug and have a picnic, or take a long break during the pleasant season. The shade of the big tree looks comfortable.

It's hard to tell from the photo above, but the lawn square is very large. Please compare with an object like Santa Claus in the photo below.

His name is Guardian Angel, actually not Santa Claus.

Large animals are also popular. You will feel like you have entered the animal world.

森・水・風を体感して遊ぼう!「自然体感遊具」

The nature-experience playground equipment that makes use of the natural topography is composed of three areas: forest, water, and wind, with the theme of "coexistence with nature."

"Forest area"

A number of barrel-like huts are lined up in the trees and connected by wooden decks and connecting corridors.

Inside the hut, there is a device where you can smell the forest and hear the sound of the wind.

Smell the forest and see it with the eyes of the creatures of the forest.

Forest Camera uses the principle of a pinhole camera to see the landscape upside down.

You can move your body as much as you want.

"Area of Water"

A very popular spot where you can enjoy playing in the water in the summer. It is paved with cobblestones and makes you feel as if you are playing in a natural waterside. There is also an area with a flat bottom, so it is safe for small children. The depth of the water is about 30cm at the deepest, and there are places where it is as shallow as an adult's ankle, so it is also recommended for your baby's first time playing in the water!

A wide water playground with steps.

They were playing by piling up stones and damming them up.

How to play is unlimited!

There is a sensory device that shoots out water when you pedal or turn the handle, and when the time comes, mist erupts here and there! The children were having a blast, running around the large water playground here and there. It was extremely hot on the day of the shoot, and it seemed very pleasant to come in contact with the cold water.

You can climb up and play inside the tower where mist spouts out.

Bathing in diapers is prohibited. Please bring your swimsuit and towel. There are plenty of benches and rest areas, but it gets crowded on summer holidays. It is safe to have leisure sheets and small pop-up tents.

"Wind area"

The wind area is next to the water area. A large playground equipment like a symbol tower rises on the hill. This is a playground exclusively for children aged 6 to 12, and you can enjoy two types of slides. Enjoy the exhilarating thrill while feeling the breeze!
