    I was expecting more. It is like a small zoo, but it didn't seem like a good place for the animals. Too small. At the end, the historical buildings look quite nice. For me it was the best area of the park. I wouldn't go there again.

    We had a free day before an evening flight and this was recommended to us. It has a zoo, a farm, historic buildings that have been moved to this location and some stalls, places to eat and the chance of a boat ride and more. We went in the hope of getting a better view of a sloth and were not disappointed. We were told you could walk round the park in 2 hours but if you stop to watch the animals. (Some are very watchable)it takes longer. The boat ride wasnt up to much and not worth the $10 we suspect we were overcharged. It was nice to see so many locals there. Obviously it's a popular place to take the children at the weekend. There is a playground and lots to see and do for kids too.

    Gorgeous peace of nature just across from the big busy and loud city. It’s a little piece of peace that stand out for it’s superb and perfect maintained facilities. It’s always shaded so the temperature is always bearable. I like to take all visitors there before they fly back to their home countries. Leaves an impressive last impression of Guayaquil. Not just the Zoo, but the museums and the reconstruction of some historic houses and scenes. A must see !!

    We thought it would be a nice parque and if we were lucky, we would see some cool birds. Then we found it its just a zoo, with way to little space for all the animals. If you love animals, don't go!!

    Wonderful place to go and see this historic things of Ecuador from animals to the area and how’s the homes and the agricultural sectors began and have changed over the years. The entire park is free and has many places to eat and snack along with a beautiful hotel and historic church all inside the park.

    Small yet very well laid out grounds for a nice walk. This place is great for kids, families, or couples. I would recommend going with a guide to learn more, but overall this was a great stop in our day in Guyaquil.

    Really nice place for a weekend stroll. Get to know some of the local fauna, history, and culture (some food too). Fun for the whole family. Ask for the montubio show, funny stuff. There is a really fancy restaurant and hotel inside the park. Don't forget to try local sweets and treats.

    We attended a wedding at this place and it was very convenient with the church right next to it, the rooms were very comfortable.

    Amazing park, there is a paid section for $4 but I just stumbled in so I saw the free section. Still lots of amazing things to see, a beautiful walk, with places to eat, toilets, and attractions. Definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Joaquin V. 4 years ago on Google
    If you want to spend a day with your family, see a small zoo, enjoy an afternoon in a replica of the old Guayaquil, have a meal in a great restaurant in Guayaquil Casa Julian, and just lay around in the small park in the Parque Histórico, this place is the place to come. Is free but it will give you a good idea of how Guayaquil was before

  • 5/5 Jo de B. 4 years ago on Google
    Very good place to visit with kids. Lots of animals, free entrance and parking also available. Enough place for the kids to play.

    My favorite part of this park is the renovated historic houses on the river. It is interesting to see the architectural details. Free entry, but check the hours before you arrive. Give yourself at least 2 hours to see everything.

    It was fine. But needs maintenance.

  • 1/5 Maria F. 2 years ago on Google
    We went today Wednesday, a day it says it is open, because it is closed on Tuesdays. I sent an Uber to my elderly mom and my brother who has Down syndrome, and care taker to take them to the park. My car only fits 4 people and I was meeting them there with my husband and my two kids. When we arrived my mom, brother and care taker where outside by the sidewalk because the place was closed. I told the guardian that it says online the place is open and he told me that they decided to close it yesterday at 5pm for maintenance. I told him they should have posted that online, their information says that the park is open. When I asked him I needed to talk to someone to tell them this he said that they were busy in the office and they won’t come to the gate to talk to me. I was outraged, my mom is 90 years old. Nobody care they were outside, that she had no place where to sit. I live in the US and I was bringing my kids and husband to visit the park as well. If they had updated the info about their closure we could have avoided this. But just as the guardian at the gate the staff who manage this place do not care about their guests who make the trip to come all the way there because they are outside Guayaquil. Just selfish and careless.

  • 3/5 Jacob J. 5 years ago on Google
    Part zoo and part historical park. The zoo part has some interesting animals especially the birds. The animals are in cages, but not as bad as most zoos. They made a real effort to make it look natural. The historical buildings are really not very interesting. However, BE WARNED there are tons of mosquitoes!!! Wear repellent! (It also stinks in spots)

    Very beautifully maintained park with animals and historic sites. Completely free of charge. Please donate if you enter. This place is worth keeping the way it is now.

  • 4/5 Ben D. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely worth spending an afternoon at. Great walk for both the animals and the mangroves. Would be nice if some of the birds and animals had a little more space though.

    They are not pet friendly. They are anti-pet. Don’t be fooled that they are an outdoor park, they don’t allow pets.

  • 5/5 Andrea R. 1 year ago on Google
    $3 entrence. I recommend go on weekdays around 4pm when the sun is less harmful. Go ready for walk, take some repellent before enter and enjoy the view. Almost at the end of the visit you will found a place to sit and have some food or drinks. There is live music and special programs (check their instagram account for more details).

    I come to the park almost every day, I love the nature a pure air combined with the sound of birds and animal. I only recommend to bring mosquito repellent.

  • 1/5 Russell D. 1 year ago on Google
    There are a couple pleasant things to see here. But the animal confines are barbaric and I found it hard to stomach. If you care about animals, do not go.

  • 4/5 Nakamiro 1 year ago on Google
    Nice museum, but really hot. For tourists planning to go to the city Guayaquil, I recommend to do some investigation on where you would like to stay as it is not safe in all areas of the city. Also it is not recommended to walk in the streets if there are no guards.

  • 5/5 Wilther S. 1 year ago on Google
    Good job preserving the natural ecosystem of the region. Venues are Well organized and structured, we spent many hours at the outside lounge and custumer service was excellent. Prices are fair enough for the site.

  • 5/5 Chris O. 10 months ago on Google
    Research on other animals point to the so-called island rule: that insular gigantism comes about from the release from predatory pressure – meaning the Galapagos tortoises were able to grow larger because they were not hunted as prey.

  • 5/5 Sujata S. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    A must visit for all travelers. It is a small zoo with the most exotic animals and beautiful old trees. The place is in a natural form with a raw wild and enchanting feel. You get to see Iguanas, Parakeets, mountain goat and so many other animals. Old trees with aerial roots all around add to the beauty of the place.
