Compare to other zoos in the world, this is a small one, you can't see the many different kinds of animals you wish to, most of them are sleeping regardless of the hot temperature, bad smell could be reach in most of the cages, working people inside look lazy to cooperate with tourist's necessity, needs to be improved!
It is a nice place to see exotic animals, a good sense of nature, it is relatively quiet but very comfortable, you can drink a soda an let kids play with farm animals
Barranquilla Zoo have a lot of animal but a lot no mean depressing. Cages are too small some of the feature animals a quite asleep all the day long at any time, also many of them only have one specie or gender. I know they are planning to move to somewhere else to have it like the Bronx Zoo.I hope to see it when it is there.
Honestly, it can be quite the downer to go to this zoo. The cages are small, and most of the exotic animals live alone (one zebra, one elephant, one tiger, one white-tailed deer, etc.) The elephant's area is quite small, no shade, and surrounded by an electric fence. That being said, if you need a place to bring young children, this could work for an afternoon. There's a petting zoo with goats that you can feed and one cow you can pet, there are peacocks and iguanas roaming freely throughout the zoo as well. But honestly, just take the family to the beach, it's less depressing.
A fun place to go everybody was very Courteous a good plan for a family day,well kept for a zoo in Colombia we will be back !
A sad zoo where the animals are closed in small and dirty cages. I still remember a poor elephant in a tiny room. What a pity.
The zoo is well maintained and on most days very packed with people. I would go again next time I am in the city.... I think if you get bad reviews about it, it would be leaning more towards the believe that animals should be free in the jungle and not in a zoo....Putting the politics about zoos behind for a second, It is a nice place to visit.....
I like animals and exotic birds. I get to see that here. other than that. it is a third world country. its cheap. Worth going. for a quick relaxing trip
Tiny but pretty decent. Good animalvariety. I think some of it was under renovation though. All my mosquito bites come from there :)
We went to the zoo had a interesting time small zoo but nice very good price had many animals that have not seen before.
