This facility is not well maintained by the Rivers State Ministry of Tourism. There are just a few animals to see. Their habitats are not kept tidy. The zoo guide is a nice and friendly old man. Horse ride is available Mini Playground for kids is also onsite The Ministry overseeing the facility should put I more animals, upgrade the infrastructure, partner with private investors for restaurants etc &other activities that would make the place more fun.

It's a very affordable place to take the kids for an informative and entertaining time. The issue is that the entrance is difficult to locate from the road, as far as I could see there are no proper signages Within all the old concrete tile flooring are broken and covered with algae, easy to stumble and fall All the cages are rusty and green, the labels detailing the animals rusted beyond recognition, most of the cages are empty You can't tell who works for the zoo and who is hustling you, a child going to a zoo for the first time will have fun but will soon start asking questions, an adult that brought a child won't feel relaxed, constantly worrying about your child getting tetanus from the cages or getting injured by the one 🐒 there or the representatives of the wild birds there not to mention being kidnapped But all and all there's hope for the future of the zoo as they still get patronage but as one guy that claims to work there said, they don't know what the returns they make to those in charge are used for It's the cheapest place for horse back riding Jin the state

Great place

Beautiful sight at the Portharcourt zoo today, had the opportunity of seeing a life hunter lion(lioness) for the very first time. A peacock , Eagles, orstreach tortoise, donkey and lot more fun. The kids had the privilege to ride on a horse...it was amazing

found it very difficult to understand what going on in this place. I was thinking a zoo has to have different type of animals before it can be classified as a zoo. Well, my opinion is that the government has a lot of work to do here sooner than later before it's totally written off.

It's a shadow of what it used to be. I went there to take photos though. I wish it would go back to it's original glory.. all photos were taken on my phone.

Not much of a zoo. Good aesthetic from the outside (recently renovated). Looking more like a conservation centre. More animals should be brought in. Entry fee is ok as it attracts more people

The place has a new face lift, but the government needs to do more in terms of renovation of the cages and bringing in more animals.

Beautiful environment and a very interesting tour guide. However More animals are needed. We had fun

I think this place should be demolished. The animals look so skinny,I don't think they're fed, the surroundings are so dirty, no sane human should go here. Total rip off

It's the Port Harcourt zoo

Dead unkept place, nothing to see but 5 common animals and stuffed lions

I had excellent time here OMG kudos 👍👍😊❤️

Business

Good and safe. But going through renovation now.

They are improving but they can do more

Port Harcourt Zoo as at 31st December 2021 is Just a shadow of itself, very very few Animals many very old and hungry, cages Needs renovation, No fun activity, Nothing to Buy for the kids except cop corn....Government Needs to do something about Port Harcourt Zoo

Helpful Tour Guide. Chill ambience. Serene environment. Reptiles. Birds. Ostrich. Monkeys. Museum of stuffed & painted wildlife too.

The zoo was very unkept. They're signs to use refuse dump but there's clearly no sign of one. Numerous empty cages without animals in them. The place is in total dilapidation. It was definitely disappointing to come here. I expected more. However, I was trilled by the monkeys, baboons and the everly proud peacock I saw. More would do. Hence the 2 stars.

The zoo looks deserted and unkempt. Some form of intervention is required as there are only a few birds, monkeys, tortoise and crocodiles

Cool place

there is nothing to see here just baboons, monkeys and crocodiles

Great outlook

Rivers state government need to do something better on how to bring back the zoo to life, is a total mess. I believe people that have went their too can say alot about it. Is nothing to write about just some view animals and the place is not well manage, that my own view and observation

Nice 👍

The Zoo needs maintenance and rehabilitation

Not quite much but a very good place to visit. Did that and enjoyed the time.

Had fun

I had an experience that I will never forget in a hurry, getting close to wild animals like Lions. I was really thrilled.

The only thing, anybody that has been here before, has are fond memories and nostalgia whenever this place is sighted or passed. An avenue for Tourism in Port Harcourt, but little or no interest is placed on it. Located on trans-amadi road, it can be accessed from at least 4 points, but the zoo itself has one entrance. It can be spotted from a distance due to the dense trees population in the compound. The ministry of culture and tourism should look into revamping it or else, lose it to criminal activities thereby leading to a total boycott by individuals.

Poor care of animals in the facility

Quack

Because it has a lot of good stuffs there for kids and adult to take a look at

There are working on the fence and their about to complete it, which is a good thing to do for zoo like that

Port Harcourt Zoo is only a history... It's almost out of existence... The only animals there are just an ostrich, chimpanzee, crocodile, and turtle. The place is looking so dangerous and unkept... No special animal of attraction. No lion in the zoo. And the few animals left are malnourished.

Still on renovation, but it was fun, saw some animals,i rode a horse but no lion or snakes .

Government of Rivers State should convert this zoo to something else, since nothing is happening here. The environment is full of hoodlums. It is not wise to be here in the night. Thank God government is constructing here now

It needs improvement . A shadow of it former glory

Don't waste your time and 200 naira if you're planning to go to this zoo to see exotic animals. There are none. Port Harcourt zoo is another victim of mismanagement and a failed system.

There are no animals here and there is a lot of jobs to be done here, in order to put it back in shape and make it one of the best zoo in the country. So for now I will say that it is very poor.

Wack and poor facilities

Because it's under renovation

Currently being innovated

Currently under construction

Construction is going on with the zoo

Rebuilding process on now

Not satisfactory at all

No animal. It should be closed down

Nice

Bad

Terrible Dirty Disheartening

The place is looking so abandoned and there are no much animals thier.

I lost my homie, where is Jim. He went to see the lion and never came back.

Very cool

Poor. A place to revive your depression while seeing very scanty depressed animals.

It has just been revamped by this current administration

Still a place for sight seeing.

Just a place for relaxation animals are few

An old zoo. With few animals

There's nothing happening there.

Less capacity and poor management

Nice and amazing

There are no more animal's in the zoo. All are dead due to lack of care. It saddens my heart

Not attracted for site viewing no good animals also not decent

Cool environment

Children will like it for the mere sound of its a zoo, but I don't know how much of live animals are in there but I know for sure that its not d focus of the government right now nonetheless it won't be so bad to visit the zoo and get a first hand ✋info.

A contract has just been signed for the upgrade of the zoo

No animals there, the ones there are no properly taken care of.

Not a place to be for the now

Fantastic place while you visit the zoo get your fuel and gas from Port Harcourt Petroleum

Though in the verge of dilapidation, Port Harcourt zoo still thrives, with some animals like lion, monkeys, python, tortoise and a few others still habiting in the relatively noisy environment. This still provides a quite solitude, free from Slaughter bustle and hustle.

Nice fun place to visit with your family and friends.

Port Harcourt zoo right now is under going renovation which at the end if the day with what I saw its going to be very attractive .

See wild life and get closer to nature.

It's exciting to be. A place where you see the animals live and not via the TV set.

I haven't been inside but it looks very beautiful and tranquil.

Its a fine place, few animals are there. Its undergoing renovations

Grossly mismanaged. The animals aren't properly taken care of an their aren't satisfying recreational activities to engage in.

Its been renovated, don't know how it looks now.

It's so lovely with the renovation done there

The Zoo and the few animals there are not looking good. The government needs to rehabilitate the existing structures, take proper care of the animals too

It's well maintained and in an accessible location with mind blowing experience from the animals

The environment is conserved, with lots of trees.

This zoo has been an awesome site for children,it helps them see animals they've been seeing in there story books.

There are no animals here for now except.... Ostrich, monkey, baboon, crocodile, a weird specie of eagle, tortoise and turtle.... Very boring till its fully renovated

The place is okay... Way better than some other zoos I've been to

Good place to have fun time with the kids, get to see various reptiles and others. Zoo needs to be filled with more animals tho..

You would not regret visiting this place enough entertainment

It's Port Harcourt's only Zoo. It was recently renovated by the current Governor of the State, but the animals there are very few unfortunately but it's a cool place to visit for recreational purpose.

Well, the outlook is better than before, it has animals but not wild animals, they promise to stock than up this year, I hopeful pray they do, I in the time passed visited this same zoo with wild animals and stuff lions in cage, it was a great experience.

I enjoyed my experience. The tour guide did a fabulous job. I got to feed monkeys, they’re very interesting creatures and the male monkey’s love women. Haha I went into the museum and further explored.

Haven't really gone in, but i believe it will be a very nice place to go visiting.

Used to be a lovely place, buzzing and filled with animals, tourists etc but not anymore.

Totally in a messy state. I was appalled during my visit at the state of what used to be a center of attraction in Rivers state. We can do better

Not well maintained. The Government of Rivers State should try and fix the place for public good

I enjoyed my stay at the zoo. It was really fun and I made memories there

Very nice environment. Had lots of fun there with my friends

Nice so many animals there and it's a nice environment for animals. Thanks

Is a cool environment to ease out tension after the days or week stressed

Wow this a wonderful zoo I wasn’t expecting it be like this my whole family enjoyed the time we spent here we will be come back to explore more 😊😊😊

Beautiful environment but unfortunately very few animals. The place is almost dead.
