Yokohama Cosmo World is a family friendly amusement park in the heart of Minato Mirai – a scenic spot during the day and romantic at night. Admission is free to enter and customers pay by attractions or rides via ticket vending machines located throughout the park. Prices range from 300 – 700 yen depending on the attraction or ride. Please note kindergarten aged kids and younger must be accompanied by an adult.
The park is divided into three zones; the Kids Carnival Zone, Brano Street and Wonder Amuse. The Kids Carnival Zone is great for young kids and toddlers. They have games, train and car rides, a beautiful two level merry-go-round and cycle monorail that gives you a birds eye view of the area.
Brano Street is set up like a small, colorful town with an arcade, haunted house, ice world where one can experience the extreme cold, food stalls, small coasters, caricature artists and more.
Wonder Amuse, located underneath the large Ferris Wheel, caters to young and young at heart adults. They have coasters, a 3D Theater and VRV (Virtual Reality Ride), games and food stands.
