Everyone's voices

We asked families who have visited Suzuka Circuit Park and the pool multiple times during the summer!

QLast summer, how did you allocate your time between the pool and park during the day?

You can go back and forth between the pool and attractions in your swimsuit, so you can enjoy yourself without getting hot.
The fireworks we saw on the way back made our memories of Suzuka Circuit even more vivid.

With a volume and size that both adults and children can enjoy, it's great that you can be fully satisfied playing on the rides and in the pool all day long. The circuit’s unique attractions and license cards are fun for adults just as much as for kids. It was our first time at the park, but we’re already planning to come back this year. Definitely recommend it!

Each person wears an ice ring and carries frozen jelly to stay hydrated frequently. There are spots with water sprays around, so you can cool off by getting sprayed. In the early morning, we play to the fullest on the attractions, then go to the pool after lunch.
We had a dinner buffet at the hotel, and when it cooled down in the evening, we went back to the attractions. The view from the Ferris wheel was beautiful, and just as we got off, fireworks went off!

Mom of a 5, 3, and 1-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 4–5

Let the kids play to their heart's content in the pool first thing in the morning, then ride the attractions afterward for the best summer vacation memories.
Every year, the things you can do and the attractions you can ride level up, so you can enjoy it with both satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment.

Mom of a 5 and 3-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 3

We go on an overnight trip with three families, so on the first day we fully enjoy the pool from early morning! We leave around 14:00 to 15:00 to go to the bath, return to the hotel, have dinner at 17:30, and relax in the room. On the second day, we enjoy the attractions in the park.
Since it is an annual tradition, the general course is usually decided, but I check which attractions the kids can ride based on their ages and try to make reservations for those that can be booked.

Mom of a 13 and older, 9, 8, and 3-year-oldsNumber of visits so far: 6–9

Start at the pool first thing in the morning! Secure a rest area and play while it’s still uncrowded! During the busy midday hours, take a break to eat, then enjoy the pool again until the evening when it gets less crowded. Summer vacation is crowded, so the first weekend in September is the best time to go.
◈ If possible, stay overnight and visit the amusement park the next day. Take a bath and then head home!

Mom of 8 and 4-year-oldsNumber of visits so far: 4 to 5 times

It was great that we could go back and forth between the pool and attractions while still in our swimsuits.
There were many attractions suitable for toddlers, so even children under the age limit could enjoy them.

Mom of a 6 year old and 3 year oldNumber of visits so far: 1 time
We recommend staying at the Suzuka Circuit Hotel and playing the next day! You can park in the closest spot, making it convenient to drop off your luggage even if you have a lot!
If you want to enjoy both the pool and the amusement park, you need to start playing first thing in the morning to have enough time to fully enjoy it! 5-year-old and 2-year-old momNumber of visits so far: 1 time

Rather than going to the pool and attractions in one day, staying at the hotel and spending the second day at the amusement park, then enjoying the spa before heading home is the best way to fully enjoy your visit!

Mom of a 9-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 4–5 times

When we visited the park the year before last with a friend’s family (two children), while the dads were playing with the two younger kids who love the pool, the two moms took the two older kids for souvenir shopping in swimsuits and enjoyed just one attraction.
While the dads were watching the four kids play, the two moms split up to buy takeout food. It was a very fulfilling and enjoyable experience.

QPlease tell us about your child's favorite summer experiences and memories at the park and pool.

We visit the park every year, and last year we happened to find out on the day of our visit that the pool would open the very next day. Thinking it sounded fun, we suddenly bought swimsuits for the whole family that evening, changed our travel plans, and went to Suzuka Circuit for an extra day. We were able to fully enjoy both the park and the pool.

Mom of 10, 7, and 4-year-oldsNumber of visits so far: 4–5 times

It was the Pinky Bike Plus and the Putti Grand Prix. My 3-year-old son was thrilled to ride the Pinky Bike Plus alone for the first time and got totally hooked, riding it about 20 times! For the Putti Grand Prix, my 3-year-old son said, "Next time with Mom!" so we rode together. At that time, there was an event where water was sprayed, and my son was the driver!!! He drove right through the spot where the most water dripped!! He hit Mom perfectly and got her soaking wet!! Haha
After it was over, I reported to my husband who was babysitting our 1-year-old daughter, and it seems that he and our son had ridden it before I did with the kids, so my husband got soaked too, haha. But it was a blazing hot day, so he dried off quickly. It was really fun because the kids could experience the attraction together while riding it.

Mom of a 3 year old and a 1 year oldNumber of visits so far: 1

I was moved to see the fireworks up close, right underneath them, with such an overwhelming impact. If you want to watch that close at a fireworks festival, you have to enter a crowd so packed you can barely move. I’m super happy! I want to watch them every year.

Mom of an 8 year old and a 2 year oldNumber of visits so far: 4–5

Every summer, visiting Suzuka Circuit Pool & Park is our tradition. We've also been overseas and to Okinawa, but the kids really love Suzuka Circuit, and it has become a family ritual! It's perfect for kids who want to play hard rather than just relax and take it easy.

Mom of an 8 year old and a 5 year oldNumber of visits so far: 3

Amusement parks in midsummer have an image of being hot, but since you can play in your swimsuit and there are several spots where you can get wet, you can enjoy the amusement park even in the height of summer. Because you can enjoy both the pool and the amusement park, I think it’s a theme park that fully satisfies children.
Also, the go-karts that run on an actual course are full of excitement, so I definitely recommend making a reservation in advance to ride them! After playing a lot, you can also enjoy a very beautiful hot spring. It has become our family's annual tradition.

Mom of a 9 year old and a 7 year oldNumber of visits so far: 3

The Circuit Park I visited last year with just my child was our first trip alone together. My child rode as many attractions as they wanted, took leisurely breaks when it got hot, and seeing their satisfied and happy face made it an unforgettable day for me as well.
I think the charm of Suzuka Circuit Park is that there is always an attraction that kids get hooked on as they grow. The scale is not too large, so even if children become absorbed in the attractions, they don’t get too tired, which is also a good point.

Mom of a 5 year oldNumber of visits so far: 6 to 9

The pool. For my son, who turned 3 years old on the day of our visit, it was his very first time at a pool. He seemed to really enjoy the lazy river and the slides, and even after a year, he talks about it like it was just yesterday, saying, "That was so much fun!" As a parent, that made me really happy.

Mom of a 3-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 1 time

The show where characters celebrate birthdays left a strong impression. We visited in August, and since my child’s birthday was in June, I thought it was no longer the month to be celebrated, so we watched the show from above rather than sitting in the chairs right next to the stage. Then, we were told that June birthdays are also celebrated, but my child was shy and surprised and initially said they wouldn’t go up on stage. However, after some hesitation, they said, “Actually, I’ll go,” and when heading to the stage, the entrance was immediately closed right in front of them. My child was sad and cried, but since we didn’t want to disturb the show, we returned to our original spot with tears, and my child watched the show until the end. Even after the show ended, my child consoled themselves through tears, promising to definitely participate in this show on their next birthday.
Around the time just before their birthday this year, they remembered the show at Suzuka Circuit and have been really looking forward to it, saying, "We promised, right?" I myself also wanted to let them participate in the show after a year had passed, so it left a strong impression on me. Since their birthday is exactly this month, I want to take them while they can still be celebrated at the show.

My son, who loves cars, enjoyed every ride! He was happy to be able to drive by himself even at 3 years old. He was very excited to receive a license card when he got better, and he still calls it a treasure and sometimes shows it to me.

Mom of a 3-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 1 time

When I was a child, my husband was taken there every year by his parents, so this time we visited as three generations with our grandchildren. The children were delighted, and my parents were happy as they reminisced about old memories. My husband, who usually doesn’t get very excited, looked genuinely happy, making it a truly wonderful memory!

Q Please share any episodes where you felt your child’s growth at the park or pool during summer

Since summer is hot, I want to take the kids who worked hard until summer vacation somewhere, but I was always worried about heatstroke or how difficult it is to travel with small children, so I struggled every year to decide where to go. However, three years ago, we spent summer vacation at Suzuka Circuit and were completely satisfied as a family, so we keep coming back. The pool has various types, and the kids are also obsessed with collecting cards for the attractions.
Another memorable episode is that during our first visit, the older child was able to ride a small bike and received an A-class license, but the younger child couldn’t ride a bicycle yet and felt frustrated. Until then, my son hadn’t been very motivated to practice riding a bike, but after we returned home, he practiced intensely. “I want to be able to ride, go to Suzuka Circuit, and get my own photo A-class license card!” he worked hard with that goal. Thanks to his enthusiasm, he was able to ride quickly, and on our next visit, he was able to get a photo A-class license card and was overjoyed. The card he earned through his effort is now a treasured keepsake.

Mom of 7 and 5 year oldsNumber of visits so far: 6 to 9 times or more

It's "Dream R." We visited for the first time during the summer vacation of 2024 and rode Dream R three times. Our child came home frustrated, just 0.3 seconds short of the S-class license. Because they really wanted to get the S-class license, we decided to come back to Suzuka Circuit Park for the summer vacation of 2025 and rode Dream R again. On the second try, they were able to obtain the S-class license, and the staff were happy for them. It became a very memorable summer vacation for our child.
We received a Dream R license card, and it is still displayed on the desk. Next, my child wants to get the S-class for Kart Attacker! (In 2025, it was B-class.)

13-year-old and 10-year-old dadNumber of visits so far: 2 times

My son has been going every year since he was 1 year old. Even though there were rides he couldn’t go on before, it’s been fun to see the number of rides he can go on increase one by one. Every year, we talk together, "This year you rode this for the first time, and next year you want to try that."

8-year-old and 5-year-old momNumber of visits so far: 10 times or more

For our car-loving child, we made their Suzuka Circuit debut at two and a half years old. Since then, for nine years, visiting Suzuka Circuit every summer has become an annual tradition. Watching our child drive cars and motorcycles on their own has become more impressive each year, and it’s truly moving to witness their growth. The Suzuka Circuit Hotel is also a favorite of our child, and they look forward to staying there every year.
For our family, Suzuka Circuit is the best compared to other theme parks!! The pool is also spacious, so we separate our days into attraction days and pool days.

Mom of a 9 year old and 2 year oldNumber of visits so far: 6 to 9 times

The Kids Bike Training left a strong impression. It was the first time the younger child tried it after learning to ride a bicycle. Every year, they would cry watching their older brother ride the bike. The joy of this first challenge exploded with emotion. As a family, we were able to witness their growth, making it a special attraction.

Mom of 8 and 6 year oldsNumber of visits so far: 3

Every summer we visit, we see great growth in our children. They’ve learned to put their faces underwater and swim, ride go-karts on their own, and even try roller coasters for the first time. Suzuka Circuit Park has a magic that encourages the spirit of "I want to try."

Mom of 7 and 5 year oldsNumber of visits so far: 6–9 times

The first time I came to Suzuka Circuit was during a field trip in elementary school. Now, having become a mother, I take my 13-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter to Suzuka Circuit every year with our family and even with three generations! I feel nostalgic about my elementary school memories, order a cake at the hotel every year for my son's birthday as a tradition, watch him get a little shy when staff say "Happy Birthday," collect cards from each attraction as keepsakes, and my younger daughter recently made her debut in the water play pool. These are all deeply moving memories! My eldest son is now 13, but there are still attractions and pools he can enjoy. Suzuka Circuit is recommended because it’s fun for all generations.

12-year-old and 0-year-old momNumber of visits so far: 4–5 times

It’s a wonderful place where children’s “I did it!” moments come true. From the adorable Pucchi Town to my son growing up enough to ride the Moto Fighter bike, it’s a place that lets you feel their growth every year. Am I just a doting parent getting teary-eyed? Maybe, but I think every family can feel that way here!

Mom of a 6-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 4–5 times

Puchi Grand Prix. My 7-year-old child enjoyed driving alone and kept trying many times.
Puchi Patrol. Last year, my 4-year-old child couldn’t drive alone, but this year they were able to drive by themselves, and as a parent, I was really happy to see that.

7 years old and 4 years old momNumber of visits so far: 2 times

One of my fondest memories is the joyful look on my child's face when they cleared the standard time for the first time in the "Putti Grand Prix" and received their A-class license (card). It’s not just about having fun; witnessing their growth up close as they "drive by themselves and achieve their goals" is a unique charm that only Suzuka Circuit offers. After that, rushing straight to the pool soaking wet and diving into the "Adventure River" brought such a refreshing feeling that it has become a classic summer memory for our family. There is no other place where the park and pool are integrated at such a high level.

QWhen visiting Suzuka Circuit Park,
please tell us about any measures or ideas you practice to cope with the summer heat.

Suzuka Circuit features many rides where you can feel the breeze and attractions with roofs, combined with indoor attractions. The spacious restaurant with plenty of seating allows for breaks with relatively short wait times, so you can mostly avoid being exposed directly to the blazing sun during the day. Also, since the park itself is smaller and more compact than other theme parks, there are fewer instances of walking long distances under the scorching sun. The resting spots and layout are easy to understand, making it a park where it’s easier to avoid heatstroke.
If you stay at home all the time because it’s hot, your body can actually become more prone to heatstroke, so Suzuka Circuit is highly recommended as a park where you can enjoy yourself while taking proper precautions.

Dad of a 3-year-old and a 1-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 1 time

There was a large fan that sprayed mist, and the children happily went there to cool off. Even though it was hot, the kids enjoyed riding the attractions and ran around with all their energy. It was a place where we could relax and enjoy ourselves slowly with a cool restaurant and cold sweets.
Both of my children were born in summer, so I ordered a birthday plate, and they were very happy.

6-year-old and 3-year-old momNumber of visits so far: 10 times or more

We moved to Suzuka City the year before last, and last year we used the pool for the first time. It was just the right size and level of crowding for families, so we had a great time and created wonderful summer memories together as a family. Highly recommended for families to visit!

Mom of a 4-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 1 time

No matter where you go to play, taking measures against the heat is a given, but at Suzuka, there are many things to enjoy while staying cool, which is a big help.

Mom of a 3-year-old and 0-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 2

As a heat countermeasure, when you start feeling hot, cool your body down (such as placing an ice pack under your arms), and we also recommend using the soaking wet attractions. The kindergarten-aged children seemed to really enjoy the snail ride.
Also, collecting stickers you get from riding attractions and taking photos to create cards are unique fun and memorable experiences only at Suzuka Circuit, so definitely give it a try!!

Mom of a 5-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 1 time

The pool is spacious, and even when crowded, you don’t feel like your shoulders are bumping into others, so it’s recommended.
The park has few shaded areas and is paved with asphalt, so be careful of heatstroke. Enjoy with appropriate breaks and hydration.

Dad of a 5-year-old and a 1-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 2 times

By playing in the park while still wearing the wet rash guard from the pool, we were able to enjoy ourselves without getting too hot, so I’m looking forward to it again this year since we’ve booked a hotel.

7-year-old momNumber of visits so far: 10 times or more

We had plenty of fun cooling off with the soaking wet attractions, indoor attractions, and the Ferris wheel.
There were vending machines everywhere, so we had no trouble staying hydrated.

Mom of a 7-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 2 times

Because the pool water makes it hard to notice, we were especially careful about heatstroke.
Frozen salted boiled edamame and cherry tomatoes were popular with the kids, so we plan to bring more this year.

Mom of a 10 and 6-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 2 times

It's quite hot, so don't overdo it. Even in the shade, it feels hot without a breeze, so a fan is essential. It's best to use it together with a cooling sheet! Summer is definitely hot, and we plan to visit again around November this year. (The kids requested to go again. The adults had fun too, so we immediately booked a hotel!) If only there was ice... The pool was fun, and I want to try again in the summer!

Mom of a 6-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 1 time

QPlease tell us about cool spots and ways to avoid crowds at Suzuka Circuit Park

It’s really hot during the day, but there are mist sprays all around the park, and the restaurants are cool! The Ferris wheel is also cool! The racing car exhibition facility is very cool! They also had an event where they sprayed mist on you while you were on the attractions.
After 15:00 and 16:00, the sunlight becomes much easier to bear, so it might be a good time to cover all the attractions. You can enjoy yourself no matter what! Also, the staff who never lose their smiles no matter how hot it gets are wonderful.

Mom of a 3 year old and a 1 year oldNumber of visits so far: 1

The waiting lines are mostly in the shade, so as long as you stay hydrated frequently, it doesn’t feel too tough even if it’s hot. I live in the Kansai area and often visit other theme parks, but Suzuka Circuit, where you can wait in the shade, is overwhelmingly more comfortable. The kids enjoyed the occasional water play zones.

6-year-old and 3-year-old momNumber of visits so far: 10 times or more

My child will be 7 years old this year, and since they were 3, we have been visiting about twice a year. It’s family-friendly, so even small children can enjoy it and spend time safely. Once they learned to ride a bike, the fun expanded even more.
In summer, people tend to flow into the pool, so there is almost no waiting time for attractions. The pool is very large, and since my child wants to go again this year, we plan to visit for the second year in a row.

Mom of a 4-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 1 time

Since the GP area doesn't have many rides for small children, I think it's a hidden gem where older kids and adults can ride multiple attractions without the crowds. Smog Rush Adventure is very cool, and the shooting game is really fun, so I recommend it as a way to cool down while enjoying some friendly competition.

Mom of a 3-year-old and 0-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 2

The building where you can watch while waiting for the Cart Attacker is air-conditioned and cool. The Honda Racing Gallery is also recommended because it’s not very crowded. For cold desserts, drinks, and food, we often use the second floor of the Grand View because there’s a breeze even in summer, making it very pleasant.

Mom of a 5-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 1 time

The ride with a four-person shooting game (Smog Rush Adventure) was cool, and since there was no wait time, we rode it many times.

Mom of a 5-year-old and 1-year-old childNumber of visits so far: 2

The Ferris wheel had air conditioning! You can rest while cooling down... and the great view of the circuit was amazing!

7-year-old momNumber of visits so far: 10 times or more

Bunbun’s Pancake Shop. A large cooler blows out a lot of cold air, so sitting nearby can feel chilly even in the middle of summer. It’s the perfect environment to cool down.

7-year-old dadNumber of visits so far: 2 times

Chirara's Flower Wagon has seats and a roof, and since it’s not very crowded, you can ride it while taking a break.

Mom of a 10 and 6-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 2 times

Putchi Town Kitchen is spacious, so we often use it to take breaks even when there are many people.
It's also nice to have a drink bar.

Mom of a 6-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 1 time

QPlease tell us about essential or handy items to enjoy the park and pool in summer

If you have an outdoor wagon, definitely bring it. Even if you have a lot of luggage, it’s easy to carry, and it can also serve as a resting space for your child. Frozen ice packs and drinks get heavy, so carrying heavy items can quickly drain your energy.

Mom of a child over 13 and 7 years oldNumber of visits so far: 4–5 times

There are few pools that allow you to bring in a cooler box, so it was really useful. We put frozen juice and jelly inside and were able to feed the kids frequently, which helped prevent heatstroke.

Mom of a 4-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 3

The pool has an air pump available, but no air release, so an electric air duster that can exhaust air is very convenient when packing up. Also, with an air duster, you can easily blow off water droplets from float rings and bags, so it’s highly recommended.

Dad of a 5-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 4–5

Put frozen tea or similar drinks in a cooler box to use as ice packs, and once melted, you can drink it! Two birds with one stone!

Dad of a 9-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 4–5

A pop-up tent for the pool. The changing rooms get crowded before closing time, but it’s really convenient to close the tent and quickly have the kids change one by one.

Mom of a child 13 years or olderNumber of visits so far: 3 times

A waterproof case for your smartphone. I think it’s essential for making purchases in the pool area using PayPay or credit cards.

Dad of 9 and 5 year oldsNumber of visits so far: 2

Inflation pumps get crowded early on, so having a rechargeable air pump is very useful.

Dad of a 13-year-old and a 10-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 4 to 5

I forgot to bring a rash guard and got sunburned so badly that my skin hurt. Rash guards are important!

Mom of a 9-year-oldNumber of visits so far: 4–5 times

Bringing a simple tent (practice is necessary), a cooler box, and a carrier cart is highly recommended. We buy snacks and food along the way and purchase plenty of ice and drinks. We arrive early, park in a nearby lot, and take our time hydrating and chatting near the gate while waiting.

9-year-old and 5-year-old dadNumber of visits so far: 4–5 times

[About the Pool]
・Pop-up tent for resting (for privacy protection and shade)
・Outdoor wagon (for carrying luggage and children)
Many facilities do not allow tents or outdoor wagons, but after checking in advance and confirming they were permitted, we used them. Since there is some distance from the parking lot to the pool area, I think they are essential for heatstroke prevention. (Please check the usage rules beforehand and be careful not to cause inconvenience to others around you when using them.)
