Why You Should Visit
An autumn festival spread across Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park, the site of Expo '90, with exhibitor booths, a stage and a marche at several points in the park. The headline is the 2nd T-Rex Race on the Great Lawn: entrants in inflatable dinosaur suits run heats and finals in six classes from preschoolers to adults. New this year is the "T-Rex Collection", a stage show at the Annex Exhibition Ground where suited-up dinosaurs pose and perform. Browsing the booths and marche costs nothing, and the park is right outside Tsurumi-ryokuchi Station, so it works well as a full day out with children.
