I rated our experience as "terrible" because I really really felt awful about most of the animals in this zoo. The landscaping is great, the place is clean, but most of the enclosures are RIDICULOUSLY SMALL. Several of the large cats had cages no more than 2 or 3 body lengths across, with barren concrete floors and steel mesh walls. The same with many of the bird enclosures. Ironically, the turtles had more room than the lions!! The zoo grounds are very large--there is plenty of available land and space around most cages. They could easily be made larger and more species-friendly.Do not support this zoo by visiting, or at least tell them about these problems as you're leaving. (We visited in April 2007.)
If you want to spend a morning, afternoon or even a full day, you can go there and see the animals. The climate is nice, so you can enjoy your time there.
O zoo fica em uma area muito bonita e bem cuidada, particularmente não sou a favor de zoologicos. Sobre esse posso dizer que segue o padrão de zoologicos de cidade, sendo esse limpo e bem cuidado.
It's a cute little zoo that has all your basic zoo animals. But that's about it. The zoo was nice to see but it didn't take long to see all of it.
Lo que más me gusto del zoo fueron sus cascadas y el ambiente natural que tiene, los animales están muy bien conservados, Divino!!!
En la medida que crece la familia,sus nuevos miembros (nietos o sobrinos pequeños), encontramos una buena excusa y razón para visitar Chorros de Milla. Lo malo es el estacionamiento siempre insuficiente.
I lived in Mérida for several years and went to Chorros de Milla a couple of times (mostly for work-related issues). Although the park has tried hard to make it a better place for the animals, these live in very precarious conditions, typical of zoos in developing countries. If you care for animal welfare, then you shouldn't go there. It will make your heart shrink.
Non mi sono mai piaciuti gli zoo...certo che, essere sulle Ande e vedere degli animali in gabbia, stona ulteriormente.Un po' me la sono voluta, un po' non è che Merida offra poi così tanto...Solo su questo, in tutto in viaggio, non mi sono trovato proprio d'accordo con la guida L.P.Forse adatto solo a famiglie con bimbi, che possono comunque, senza problemi, trovare di meglio.
me gusta por la brisa de sus cascadas y los pasteles ha pocos animales es atractivo el paseo por los chorros de milla
nice go to the zoo an visit whit the family excellent there are very good animals and snakes you can enjoys the nice view and wander waterfalls.
