We have led several birding tours to Costa Rica and have started with a trip to InBio the first day. The guide was very informative and gave a good overview of Costa Rican wildlife and habitats that rounded out the experience and gave background to the participants. We didn't feel like the cost was excessive.
After visiting much better attractions throughout Costa Rica, we were underwhelmed with InBio Parque. There just wasn't much to see and experience for $25/pp. The use of recycled materials, however, was one of my favorite features of this park. They had a fence made of bicycle tires, a gate made of PVC, statues made of various parts, and more. I also enjoyed reading some of the signs made to accompany various park features but was surprised not to see any of the vegetation in the finca marked. I wondered what several of the plants were. The petting zoo was fun. I especially liked the baby goats, but I was disappointed they weren't with their mothers.
Costa Rica has many great parks, and Inbio Parque simply is not one of them. It is overrated, picture it between a small zoo and a playground. Kids may be entertained watching small animals and being able to walk among some of them. Events are hosted in this park that may be worth it, furthermore pay a visit if you have absolutely nothing to do and no better option.
you can see all the climate systems of Costa Rica in this park. It is an educational park and a scientific centre.
A small zoo. Not too expectacular. Food is expensive, kids would love this place. Now they are closing Inbio, be aware of that.
Not great... but it's a nice park.I guess that being within the urban area it's probably one of the best options if you want to see some nature and do some trail walking.
A boring and super quick tour from a bored tour guide.A pretend concrete rainforest.Don't waste your money on the over priced admission
We really enjoyed this down home but educational park, especially the "farm". We had an insider's view, as our son's girlfriend was working there as an intern, and so got a full tour from her above & beyond what is normally provided. There were many more Costa Ricans there than tourists, it is clearly a favorite family attraction. It's small & simple and a little bit worn, but sweet and friendly with a very strong focus on environmental education and sustainability.
Our experience in this park was amazing because you are so near city life but when you enter the park you are completely immersed the natural environment of the flora and fauna.
We went there with our two small kids and they loved it. Lots of little nice animals to see, for example a few "Bambis" as well as butterflies. Loved it!
