We really enjoyed the little zoo in Puerto Rico. It is small but really entretaining. I read that there is shows within the zoo, but we didn't get to see any of them. There is no giraffe in the zoo at this time. My favorite animal was the elephant! The only down side to this cute little place is that there is no one to give information or let you know the special things that are going on at the zoo. I also wish that the animals' name were stated somewhere! The bathrooms could use better cleaning, the animals smelled better that the restrooms! Overall my hubby and I did enjoy the zoo, and on our next visit to Puerto Rico we will come back with the kids .. We look forward to hopefully experience improvement!
I was so sad! This place looks terrible. As does the animals! I think closing this place will benefit the animals. Go Away! Don't bring your kids! ...and careful with the stone thrower monkey!
Very nice zoo in Puerto Rico. You can't compare it with other places but it's a nice visit. Nice variety of animals to see. I would recommend.
We got there early and got to see the animals being fed. It was awesome! Not like other zoo's where they are all sleeping.
Sadly the animals look like they want to hang themselves.Over priced for the poor keep of the zoo. ($13)I took my son and nephew when they were months old and it was in poor condition back then; took my nephews baby who's is 7 months old and the place hasn't improved a bit!!!DOESNT ANYONE CHECK INTO THESE THINGS!!!???Seems the employees just are there to say they work.It has potential if the right person comes along and takes care of the grounds and hire the right employees that are PASSIONATE and really care for animals and not just because you need able bodies, and they just need a job.I understand that running a zoo takes up a lot of money, but please have the animals benefit from the monies donated and given, not the administration, which seems to be the thing....Hope I can come back in a year or two and see that there has been positive changes to this place!Wouldn't spend my money here...
You think you are going to see animals in their habitats, healthy and happy. No way! I feel for those animals, they look under nourished. The hippo has a mini pool that barely covers his feet, imagine if he wants to sink in? I believe that maybe people should start visiting more and perhaps with the income, they can give better care to these animals. I really felt sorry for them. So sad.
You need to understand that there is very little support or interest to the zoos in Puerto Rico, but this one somehow survives, and it is very good compared to any other place in Latin America. There is a good representation of African and Central American fauna, and it has space to grow. It desperately need help from the public, like the zoos in the United States or Europe, but unfortunately giving money to support the zoo is not part of the local culture.Do not miss Mundi the elephant - she is a smart one !And I heard on the grapevine that the lions just had little cubs!
Me and my fam whent to the zoo many years back and back then it whas beutyfull now its realy sad to see the conditions of the animals and living space the grass whas tall all the kiosk where closed and poor managed all the animal where sleeping and look they had heat problems places needs mist fans and moore three shade the goverment of Puerto Rico should invest more time and love for the animals.sorry visit and u will see the poor managed zoo now the only beutyfull place is the shop.
The zoo needs attention. There are no giraffes or gorillas. It has a great potential since it has beautiful fauna and flora. The butterfly area has very little butterflies. There are hardly any snakes..... oh and there is a lot of empty cages. They use to give you headphones that would give you information in spanish and in english and that is no longer available. The gift shop is good but it only had one snack area opened with limited availability of goods. Is a good visit with small children that will not noticed the bad maintenance and will enjoy running around and watching the other animals.
Visited about a year ago. It was just too sad to see the animal in this condition. Not good again. Cant understand why they do not creat a better habitat.
