Verified traveler

Half the exhibits were closed. Even the interactive buildings were closed. They should have at least a reduced price while “under construction”. Even exhibits not being renovated were closed.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Great species you would only see in this kind of climate and which you don’t see at other zoos. Nice bird show.

3/5 - Okay

Perla

It’s maybe good for little kids because is not to big, but they don’t have Lions, hippopotamus, half of the animals were missing etc..It’s ok if you just want to see monkeys,birds and Mexican wolfs.
