Ueno zoo is located inside Ueno Park, right by JR Ueno station. Although it wasn't the only place we meant to go it was the only thing we had time to see, 'cause it's absolutely huge! The adult ticket costs 600 yen (although it's free on the 20th of March, 4th of May and 1st of October), but one admission to the zoo is included in the Grutt pass. I really enjoyed the Night forest (夜の森）which was a dark enclosure to fool nocturnal animals into action, as well as the impressive Shinobazu pond.
You can check out a map of the Zoo here. There are plenty of places to sit down and eat a picnic (you can buy food and drink inside, although it's a bit expensive) and plenty of drinking water all over the place.
