    Excelente lugar familiar! El Zoológico ya no cuenta con jaulas para los animales, sino que está creando ambientes para que estén más libres, incluso si pagas una tarifa especial puedes puedes entrar a darle de comer a algunos animales, pero por Q10 puedes darle de comer desde un balcón a la jirafa, es una experiencia única, no hay necesidad de visitar otros países para tener estas experiencias. Lo recomiendo 100%

    Wow, my family and I were blown away at how amazing the zoo was. It is a lot bigger than I thought it would be because the entrance fee is very reasonable. $2 for kids ages 2 to 12 and $4 for adults. You cannot find a zoo anywhere in the US for even close to that price. The zoo was full of security guards and was very clean and there where a lot of amazing animals, reptiles, and amphibians! And The snacks were extremely inexpensive. One scoop ice cream cone for $0.60, popcorn with butter for $1.50, and smoothies for $2. Can't say enough good things about this place, we may even go back a second time.

    Uno de los mejores zoológicos de Centroamérica. Muy bien cuidados los animalitos. El personal amable. Cada recinto tiene una temática increíble. Para estas fechas, se hace fila para entrar al mundo Kan que es de serpientes. También fila para el acuario. El precio accesible y vale la pena. Hay parqueo interno. Recomiendo ir con tiempo porque es bastante grande. Hay rinocerontes!

    Amazing experience, this was my first time going to the zoo since they brought new species, nice place to visit with family and friends, you can buy food, they have restaurants. To be honest I loved this place. The only bad thing is they close at 4pm and restaurants doesn't provide service at that time to take.

    This is a most excellent zoo. There are a wide variety of animals and environments. The animals look healthy and clean. Grounds are exceptionally well kept. Employees are friendly and professional. The kid's train is fun. Twice daily you can pay 10Q ($1.30) to feed giraffes by hand from an elevated platform. Highly recommended. I've travelled in Guatemala for 20 years and mostly avoided Guatemala City for the first ten. Now I can appreciate Guate because of attractions like the zoo. You won't run into many gringos here because they mostly avoid the city.

    I've visited Zoos in Hawai'i, Chile, Costa Rica, and parts of the US. This one in Guatemala is better than all of them, really. It's well kept, has a wide variety of species, a playground for the kids to run around, and even a food court. Best part? The entry fee is less than USD$6. A must go if you're visiting Guatemala City.

    (Translated by Google) The opening of the Zoo had the necessary protocols for each person who visits it, it is only a matter of the population to find out about the protocols and schedules of the Zoo and to know how to practice hygiene habits for better safety. (Original) La apertura del Zoológico tuvo los protocolos necesarios para cada persona que lo visita, solo es cuestión de la población informarse sobre los protocolos y horarios del Zoológico y saber practicar los hábitos de higiene para mejor seguridad.

    Surprisingly, the zoo is very well taken care of and has Disney World level. Among all zoos in the Americas that I visited, the ones in the USA sometimes are in the same level of the Zoo in Guatemala City. Congrats Guatemala, for having this precious place available for your population and for visitors to see!

    Such a fun zoo! Great large and well kept animal enclosures and a huge variety of animals. We were so impressed by how well done the entire zoo was - landscaping, enclosures, variety, theming, it was all very nice. The one thing that keeps it from 5 stars is the crowds. There are a lot of people who go. Whether it's school groups or tourists or locals there was just a lot of people, but it's understandable why everyone goes because it's so fun and a bargain of a deal to go. Don't miss the chance if you are in Guatemala city.

    Our visit to the zoo in Guatemala was a delightful experience for my two kids and me. The animals appeared to be well cared for, contributing to a pleasant atmosphere. By the end of our visit, the kids were happily tired from all the excitement. Highly recommended for families with children visiting the area! Conveniently situated in Zone 10, it's close to 'El Museo del Mino,' the National Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, along with other must-see attractions, making it a fantastic addition to your itinerary.

  • 5/5 Norella B. 1 month ago on Google • 53 reviews New
    This is definitely one of the best zoos that I've ever visited. Most of the animals are kept in spacious exhibits, with plenty of room for them to roam and thrive. The layout and landscaping of the walkways for the people to move around and explore the terrain, is optimal. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.

  • 4/5 Julio M. 2 months ago on Google • 30 reviews New
    The zoo is beautiful and very much up to standard with other zoos I have visited in the USA. The only thing I wish they had more of is concession stands, I suggest you bring your own water and a few snacks to keep hydrated because there are few options throughout the zoo.

    Very well maintained zoo with a wide variety of animals to see. It looks like they are expanding as well. Kids loved the reptile cave and the giraffes. We missed the feeding time for the giraffes, but overall a great expeirence.

  • 5/5 Joel R. 4 years ago on Google
    I absolutely loved this zoo and can say it is among the best I've visited. I have visited the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, the Racine Zoo in Wisconsin, the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington DC and the Detroit Zoo in Michigan before visiting La Aurora Zoo in Guatemala. What I really loved about this Zoo is the great balance between nature and animal exhibits it has. I felt like I was in a real forest and some of the places where so inviting that I felt like throwing a blanket on the ground to have a picnic with my family. Wish I had more pictures to share but I mainly took video. Strongly recommended if you are in or near the City of Guatemala.

    (Translated by Google) It has improved a lot there are more animals and you can see that the care of the animals has improved since the last time I went, what seems strange to me is that there are always animals that are not on display such as the black jaguar; I have rarely seen it; They are currently remodeled and I hope they finish soon to see what new things there are and which venues have been improved. (Original) Ha mejorado muchísimo hay más animales y se nota que el cuidado de los animales ha mejorado desde la última vez que fui lo que me parece raro es que siempre hay animales que no están en exhibición como el jaguar negro; pocas veces lo he visto; actualmente lo están remodelado espero que terminen pronto para ver qué nuevas cosas hay y que recintos mejoraron.

    I've visited this zoo a number of times and it is a great little zoo. It's in great shape and the animals all look very healthy. They have a great selection of animals, it's easy to walk, and the concessions are fun and reasonably priced. The entry was cheap, I was able to take the entire family, and buy treats, for a song. It's so fun to do things like that here in Guatemala because it was a quality experience that was a fraction of the price it would be in the states. Everyone had a great time.

    Very gorgeous zoo with an incredible amount of foliage everywhere that contributes to the experience. There is a decent (although not enormous) selection of animals and a lot of work has been put into the exhibits. My only minor complaint is that there are no maps, which coupled with the winding paths, makes it a little difficult to navigate efficiently.

    This zoo is beautiful. When you enter on the left you have fast food restaurants and on the left you have what seems like carnival rides and traditional ethnic food. I liked how you had options on what to eat. There’s iguanas roaming free as well as peacocks. When going to the toilet you will have to get as many pieces of toilet paper before entering the stall because there’s no toilet paper in there! I recommend you take your own roll of TP if you go. There’s also no hooks to hang your purse or anything on the bathroom wall. The zoo is large and it can be a full day experience for the family. The aquarium is not that great, I’ve seen larger variety of fish at a pet store, if you’re in a rush I don’t recommend waiting in line to see it.

    This is an amazing zoo, one of the best I’ve been to. It’s also great value. We paid Q35 per adult and Q30 for parking, Q100 total, or about $13 USD. This was a Saturday afternoon, but I believe the pricing is the same all week. The zoo was clean and well-kept. There’s a large food court area with 10+ food and snack options, as well as a playground area for children. Favorite animals to see included the jaguars, brown bears, and penguins.

    Es un zoológico muy bien conservado, de los mejores que he visto. Tiene mucha variedad de animales, información y disfrute para la familia. El recorrido es corto y amigable lo puedes hacer en menos de una hora pero lo recomendable es invertir un poco más para conocer disfrutar y sacar las fotos. Se lo recomiendo muchísimo. Eso sí la tienda de souvenirs es un poquito cara, y tiene buena variedad para alimentación.

    awesome.zoo. Exotic animals that I have even found hard to find in US Zoos. Rhinos so close..."Black Panther" was very active... The mix of the elephants and the gazelles I think they were was so safari like...Peacocks just walking around free at the establishment was fun, but my fave was seeing the baby hippo with the adult hippo and the Lizard just walking up to them.. Really great zoo...They even had a playground for the kids.

    Zoologico La Aurora in Guatemala holds a special place in my heart. As an animal lover, visiting this zoo was a truly enriching and memorable experience. The zoo is thoughtfully designed, with spacious enclosures that prioritize the well-being of the animals. One of the highlights of my visit was the diversity of species on display. From majestic big cats to colorful birds and exotic reptiles, the zoo showcases a wide range of wildlife from different parts of the world. It was fascinating to observe the animals in their natural habitats, and the educational signage provided valuable insights into their behaviors and conservation efforts.

    Love love love this zoo. This was our first time visiting a zoo outside the US and really loved how close everything was especially with kids. The zoo in Washington DC/San Diego is so large that the kids get exhausted, however, here it was so different, the animals were close up so you got a real good look at them and the kids weren't tired from walking. Also love the design of the enclosure that really brings a certain feel to it.
