What other travelers are saying about Koriyama Culture Park
I went to the amusement park section of the cultural park. It's a fun little park with rides that are great for little kids, or adults like me who are afraid of rides that go too fast or high. The rides are between ¥100-200, except for the roller coaster, which is ¥300. No admission fee.
Take a bus from the west exit of JR Koriyama Station heading toward the Culture Park. The journey takes approximately 15 minutes. Buses run regularly throughout the day. If you're driving, the park is easily accessible by car with free parking available on-site.
Entry to the park grounds is completely free. However, if you wish to visit the Koriyama City Museum of Art, admission fees apply and typically range from ¥300 to ¥1,000 depending on the current exhibition. Special exhibitions may have different pricing.

Some other reviewer said this place is like Disney world on crack? B. Have you ever been to Disney world? This place is barely a carnival in a dying town. I've been here twice and each time their train had been down for maintenance. Half the rides don't even use the ticketing system. I want to like this place so much, but they make it impossible.
Imagine telling your kids they can ride their favorite train, not once, but twice, just for the attendant to say duhh it's under maintenance. The best thing about this place is their tickets don't expire. Good thing for me, I bought twenty and only used two to ride a merry go round built during ww2.
