阿必伦动物园印象
-
Having been to several zoos/farms in the country (namely, Paradizoo, Manila Zoo, Bluroze, etc), my family agrees that the Avilon Zoo is the best or maybe one of the best zoos in the Philippines. They have a big variety of animals. There were white swans, ducks, alligators, crocodiles, peafowls, snakes, turtles, giraffes, tigers, marmoset, tapir, meerkats, arapaimas, black bears, monkeys, birds, horses, zebras, macaques, and blackbucks. There was also a black swan, orangutan, jaguar, leopard, lion, sun bear, wallaby, and hippo. I hope they add elephants, gorillas, rhinoceros, Tasmanian devil, kangaroos in the future. Most of the habitats of the animals are well designed making sure it is spacious, clean, secure, and as natural for animals as possible. You could opt for a tour guide for Php400, especially if it is your first time, so that you do not miss any of the animals. Zoozoo, the hippo was a show-off with his/her big mouth. The giraffes Bhari and Luning were adorable. You can feed them. It is best to avoid the Marikina traffic to take the Batasan short cut from Commonwealth QC to get to the zoo in Rodriguez Rizal, past San Mateo. I hope the zoo will still be well maintained and preserved when our daughter visits again when she is a bit bigger. The entrance fee is P600 per person but we used an online half-off discount voucher which was worth it.

Our last visit to Avilon zoo was probably 10years ago. The traffic going was easy by Manila standards, Makati to Rodriguez took about 1.5hrs taking the Batasan route.The actual park time took us about 3hours visit. We saw lots of snakes, birds, pygmy hippo, zebra, giraffes, Black bear, crocodile, alligator, turtles, tortoise, urangutan, monkeys, cloud rats, farm animals, dogs, cats. very interesting as some I havent seen before like the racoon dogs, Visayan Cat and Visayan deer...Downside is that they did not have maps, so not sure if we covered everything. Entrance was 600php (but could be purchased in advance for discount - Metrodeal site and at ArkAvilon). Snack Food was available- I thought prices were reasonable P50 for a hotdog P35 for bottled water. Animal food cost P40 (3pcs banana or cucumber). Clean restrooms- no soap and toilet paper. Free parking. Tour guides available. Expect lots of walking so wear comfortable ones.

I went here with my 7 year old daughter and it was well worth it.Though make sure you research online how to get there because there are no signs until you are near the place. Take the Marikina - San Mateo - Rodriguez / Montalban road and just go straight. You'll eventually see a Total, and turn left. The signs to Noah's Park are good enough because Avilon is beside it.Get ready for a lot of trucks and jeeps along the way, so be patient.The zoo itself is clean and big. Lots of animals to see, though no alligators or elephants. They do have giraffes, zebras, big cats and bears. Very nice and when we were there not too many people.

We went to Avilon during the holy week and was happy that it was open on Good Friday as it was a free time for the whole family. Getting there was already satisfying because we have really been planning to go there. We were just so excited as soon as we stepped inside because we didn't know what to expect so we were simply looking forward to what might be waiting for us. True enough, there was so much to see. There were so many varieties of animals and we were so happy to see some favorites like the giraffes, leopard, African lion, meerkats, and a lot more.It really was a good experience for the whole family especially for my son who loves animals. The place was big and spacious so there was a lot of room for him to run around. He was even able to play with the pigeons and the ducks that were just out in the open, and it was just so cute to see him chasing the pigeons. The animals that they have amazed me because they have a wide selection and some animals that we read in the books were there like the wallaby, the prairie dog, raccoon and badger, among many others.The zoo has a food area where you can have your meal and a souvenir shop that sells cute items that are priced reasonably.We will definitely be back.

A good place, especially for children. The zoo is huge and there's a lot of plants and animals, of course. There's an entrance fee of 500 pesos person and if you want to hire a tour guide, you have to pay 400 pesos.

This Zoo is really a two thumbs up for me and my kids. Very Clean almost all the animals where here. Cool place because there lots of trees and plants which the zoo keepers water them three times per day.My kids enjoy feeding the animals and holding the animals. We all enjoy our visit hear.

The 7 hectare zoo took approximately 2 hours to tour. The entrance fee was 500 pesos per person and we opted to hire a tour guide for 400 pesos. It was raining on and off when we went so some of the animals were hiding in the shade. Our guide, Ate Chris, who was a high school teacher working part-time at the zoo, taught us a lot about the animals in Avilon. There were a lot of construction going on at that time and some of the roads were a bit slippery when it rains. The zoo has a good mix of animals; we were lucky enough to see the new African giraffes exhibit and Lolong's crocodile cousin. However, some of the cages and exhibits were a tad too small for the animals to frolic.I suggest bringing an umbrella and buying bottled drinks at the entrance to bring during the tour. You're not allowed to eat during the tour though although there is a 15-minute break in one of the food stations inside the zoo where you can have a snack and go to the loo. We weren't able to do a lot of activities because of the rain. We wanted to take a souvenir photo with the Burmese python but unfortunately only the orangutan and a couple of birds were available at the time. I suggest purchasing some fresh feeds from the feeding station near the lobby to feed the Arapaimas. The Arapaima is one of the largest freshwater fishes in the world and we're told that National Geographic even had a special segment dedicated to these creatures, which are called 'River Monsters' in South America. It's exciting to feed these huge meters-long arapaima; they make this surprising popping sound when they catch the feeds with their mouths. Just a note though, it would be better to schedule your trip during the non-rainy season or to ask around an alternate way to get to Avilon Zoo. Because we were unaware of the route, we were forced to cross the Marikina River on top of an elevated strip which was overflowing with water. It's better to find the alternate route because the roads leading to the zoo are somewhat of a rough road and muddy during rainy season.
