  • We first started with the elephants from the zoo. There are toilets at certain intervals, which I think is a super thing. Toilets are clean, not crowded and there are baby changing areas. Again, there were places where we could buy coffee etc. at certain points. It was very crowded, but people were distant from each other. We wore masks in closed areas. If you pay attention to the hours, you have the opportunity to watch the feeding hours. We watched the little monkeys feed, it was so much fun. There is also a very large and extensive playground for children. It is suitable for all ages, including babies.
  • There are plenty of places to eat inside. It is very organize and friendly for the kids. There is an amazing playground inside. It is pretty easy to walk with the stroller. I will recommend to check the website to see the eating times of the animals and I will highly recommend to buy the tickets online to enter as soon as you arrive. During the weekends is always full but at the weekdays is always nice to go to the playground or walk around. There is also a nice Store at the exit to get some nice souvenirs
  • That was really nice to spend time there, my husband and I enjoyed a lot! We visited different animals! And in a very interesting atmosphere! That’s very nice!👍 It’s big enough and many different places for different species, even nocturnal animals! So just enjoy! 🥰
  • A very nice an clean zoo! We visited the zoo on a week day late in August, and safe to say that it was too hot to visit a zoo. The animals didn't do much. But the experience were still great! Beautiful animals and very easy to come close enough to take pictures without having to battle other guests for the space.
  • Beautiful zoo animals. Friendly employees, beautiful paths the new predator house is very nice, penguins, giraffes,... Very nice facilities. Several gastronomic facilities invite you to take a break. Feeding times of the animals are on the map and can be found on the net. Also if you want to visit the aquarium make sure to get a combined ticket. But it was a time well spend also the ticket prices were good enough! Buying online is good option rather to wait in queue.
