    Amazing zoo. We visit zoos all over the world and this is now one of our favorites. The monkey exhibit is amazing. They have several different species in the same large open area, each with their own little island—no cages. The animals seem very well taken care of and were very visible. The zoo itself was not too big but yet there was so much to see and experience. I highly recommend this zoo to anyone visiting. This will be a highlight of our vacation.

    The zoo exist mostly out of birds in miniature cages, smaller than my bathroom at home. The enclosures are also very dirty and could use some new bedding and the animals feces removed. The Guinea pigs are in a small box, 30 or 40 on top of each other. Same with the turtles. They have a tiny pool, are probably about 50 in there and are all on top of each other. We watched how a turtle tried to come up from under water, but wasn’t able to because it didn’t have space to come up due to the other ones. The pony’s desperately need to be brushed and their hoofs need to be trimmed. I could go on and on… it’s a shame what’s happening to those animals. Many animals weren’t even seen around Staff at the counter is incredibly rude. Older woman who was selling tickets seemed to be incredibly bothered that people showed up to enter. Didn’t speak a word.

    One of the best Zoo's we have seen. Plenty of interesting animals from big to small. Penguins, various species of birds, parrots, Red flamingos. Definitely so worth to visit. There is one snack bar that's not bad in terms of pricing. Pizzas are around €8 , some chips and nuggets also available. Not far from Albuffiera, very accessible roads. Our kids 3, 5,7 were very happy and happy. We spent solid 3 hrs including Santa Visit;). Well done to all at the Zoo. Great experience!

    Did not expect much, but it was better than expected. Pretty much all animals were there to be seen, even if they were hiding from the sun. Cafeteria prices were lower than they could be, and the food quality was in place. The private lemur-experience (50€/person) was the highlight of the tour.

    (Translated by Google) For someone who loves bottlenose is a paradise on earth, but it hurts a little bit that dolphins must live in not very comfortable conditions.

    Great outing on our holiday, both me and my partner loved this place. Having just visited London zoo a couple of weeks ago and this one now. I can honestly say we enjoyed this one far more. Even though its half the size, great interaction with the animals in places. Good flow between enclosures and creative use of the space. Hats off to the owners and staff.

    Truly a lovely experience, a really natural set up with very few cages (only for the animals with wings) and even then many didn't! A very Holistic approach to zoo keeping that should be looked at for inspiration by the bigger zoos in the UK that have never impressed like this one. We saw so many lovely moments of activity between animals and they seems genuinely happy unlike the usually zoo experience of sad sleepy animals. All this for a price that's half the cost of UK zoos (my home country) The only downside is from a personal preference and that's in regards to keeping rabbits and guinea pigs together which in our culture isn't done due to fighting but this may be different across the EU.

    Ein wunderschöner kleiner Zoo, wo man trotzdem locker 4-5 Stunden verweilen kann. Schönes Erlebnis

  • 4/5 Annika 8 months ago on Google • 17 reviews
    Schöner Zoo mit vielen unterschiedlichen Vogelarten. Es gibt keine größeren Tiere zu sehen. Ein Rundgang dauert höchstens 1.5h. Insbesondere der große Teich mit Vögeln und die kleinen Inseln mit Affen waren sehr schön anzusehen. Vorne am Eingang ist direkt bei den Pinguinen eine Bademöglichkeit. Der Preis ist meiner Meinung nach aber für so einen kleinen Zoo deutlich zu hoch.

    The zoo was great with most of the animals being in good care but some of the birds were kept in cages too small for them and some even had rats walking in their cages with one of the pheasants even eating a dead one! I also found the zoo to be a little understaffed as we barely saw any staff around the park during our visit which could allow guests to enter animals habitats without being caught, potentially posing a threat to the animals. Overall the zoo is great with many amazing species of birds and mammals that help the conservation of their species but with more funding it could become even better.

    Lovely zoo with a varied selection of animals. The enclosures are very accessible with great view points. Many have animals cohabiting which is nice to see and you may even have the odd encounter with a cheeky resident that strays onto the path 😁 We spent a few hours here and stopped for lunch in the cafe. Well worth a visit.

    Nice place to spend time with family. Very cute place. Charming animals. You can have lunch inside with birds singing in the background - wonderful place to have lunch. We ordered a pizza which was quite okay.I would love to come back again. I recommend

    Amazing zoo, so many animals and birds. You’re so close to the creatures and those that aren’t enclosed are happy to interact with you. The pelicans were just amazing.

  • 4/5 chris m. 8 months ago on Google • 61 reviews
    We thought it was really good. Lots of shady walkways between the pens, plenty of animals, 2 cafes, areas to eat your own and and a swimming area with glass panels against the penguin pool! Prices were fair too. Its well worth a visit, we stayed about 3 hours. Note, it's not in Lagos, but a few miles away in the middle of nowhere really, but don't let that put you off.

    Mir hat der Zoo wirklich gut gefallen. Endlich mal nicht die üblichen Tiere. Ungewöhnliche Vögel wie Pelikane, Tukane und Marabus und Flamingos. Schildkröten, Miniaffen, Miniflusspferd. Ungewöhnliche Hühner, Truthahn und Puten und Tauben, Ziegen und Erdmännchen. Üppiges Grün hat für Schatten gesorgt und somit war es nicht zu heiß. Im Großen und Ganzen war der Zoo gepflegt.

    Lovely day out with the kids in our Holiday in Portugal. We've paid $ 16 per adult and $12 per kid over 2 y. Quite big area, most of the animals were birds. Snack area where we could contemplated the Flamingos and also had a small playground for kids . At the end, had a small beach ⛱️ where kids can swim. Super recommended 😊

    This zoo is good size! They have loads of animals all different habitats, and they all seem really well looked after. Their habitats are clean, the animals seem happy, and there are staff positioned in good locations ready to give information and guidance. There is a lot of walking involved on this day out which easily takes a few hours. Friendly place, highly recommended day out, would definitely visit again! Good value for money if getting meals for the family and there is a gift shop.

    Went at the end of June 2021. The zoo is well kept and the animals have a lot of space. We got to learn things about crocodiles and witness the otter, primate, penguin and pelican feeding, which was super cute. Would recommend visiting, took us about 2 hours to see all the animals.

    I read good reviews about this zoo and we decided to visit with family. We haven't been disappointed, The zoo has very nice exhibits in the open air, unfortunately we have been off peak time I believe, so not all snack bars were working, so when our kids wanted ice-cream we needed to go to the entrance. In general a highly recommended place for adults and kids.

    Took our son for his first zoo visit here and was not disappointed. Lots of different animals and a deceiving large plot of land for them. We really enjoyed the tropical birds and the meerkats.

    Visited on a Sunday morning with 2 small children and had a lovely time. The zoo is fairly small but there are lots of different animals to see, some are slightly hidden away so make sure to walk down all paths to see what is at the end! Had a quick dip in the pool at the end before leaving and would recommend bringing some swimming gear.

    Great little zoo. The animals seemed in good condition - especially the birds (which also seemed the focus of their zoo). The visit took us 2 and a half hours with a 3 year old but I could have stayed longer. Finding it and parking easy but it is a bit out in the sticks.

    Great zoo. While you can never be sure with these places I largely feel like the animals are well looked after with the exception of a few larger birds that I believe should be in much larger enclosures but I'm no expert. The zoo is much bigger than it first appears and it can be easy to miss sections so be sure to check the map provided on entry. Onsite dining is fine, but costs a premium... I'm not too bothered if the premium is for animal up keep to be honest. Overall very good place to visit with easy free parking. Would benefit from updating the enclosure information boards as many are too old and now unreadable and id like to see birds in a larger enclosure as the horntails were very active and could barely fly anywhere.

    A lovely small zoo. Myself and four kids all very much enjoyed it. The only thing I didn’t like was being cajoled at the entrance into having a “happy family photo” taken - which we didn’t do.

  • 5/5 Joanna F. 10 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    I went to the zoo last weekend and it was awesome! There were so many animals, especially birds. The plants and trees were really pretty too. It felt like being in a different and more exotic country. One of the coolest things was having lunch with a funny peacock. The pizza there was really good! I highly recommend it. Overall, I had a great time at the zoo. It's a fantastic place to see lots of animals and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

    So much bigger than what we expected, and you can get so close to the animals. The meerkats so cute they will come so close to see you, and wallabies bouncing right next to you! Well worth the money and we paid €18. Loads to do for kids, and the beach with it's own pool where you can swim next to penguins is really unique. Took a pack lunch but loads of great places to eat, we grabbed a slushy which hit the spot on a hot day.

    (Translated by Google) The zoo is very beautiful, many seating options, therefore also suitable for the elderly or families with children. And a little tip for the water rats among you, you can swim there and even have penguins with you :). You can argue about the entrance fee I found 18 € for an adult a little expensive. A child is only counted from the age of 4 and then it costs € 14. For seniors from 65 years of age it is then 16 €. (Original) Der Zoo ist sehr Schön, viele Sitz Möglichkeiten, daher auch für Ältere oder Familien mit Kind geeignet. Und ein Kleiner Tipp für die Wasserratten unter euch, man kann dort Schwimmen und hat Sogar Pinguine direkt mit dabei :).

Für Senioren ab 65 Jahren sind es dann 16 €.

    (Translated by Google) We arrived around 11am and wanted to have lunch outside the Zoo with some friends. But we cannot go out and come back in. So we paid 50 € 2 adults and 1 child and spent 2 hours in the park. In my opinion, you should let it out and re-enter if there is only a full day ticket. Or there could be a half-day ticket. (Original) Chegamos por volta das 11h e queríamos almoçar fora do Zoo com uns amigos. Mas não podemos sair e voltar a entrar. Então pagamos 50€ 2 adultos e 1 criança e estivemos 2h no parque. Na minha opinião deveriam deixar sair e voltar a entrar se so existe bilhete dia completo. Ou então haver bilhete meio dia.

  • 5/5 Freddy V. 2 years ago on Google
    Even in the scorching heat of the day, this zoo offers a refreshing and relaxing walk. The variety of animals is extensive, ranging from lynx and monkeys to hippo's, and even humans with a touch of humor, but the variety of exotic birds is simply astonishing. This zoo is made for all ages, with ample petting and selfie opportunities for kids, sitting places and outlooks for adults. Comfortable access for wheelchairs. I disagree with other reviews saying that bird cages would be too narrow. Parking space is sufficient, but could have been made more shadowy.

    This is a beautiful zoo. very natural and comfortable. Very interesting animals, more than expected. Tip: take your binoculars to see birds and small animals closely.

  • 3/5 Agnes K. 2 years ago on Google
    Good but not best. Some animals seemed dreadfully sad especially European lynx, donkeys and ponies. Extremely tight cages for some big birds where they won’t be able to spread their wings EVER makes you very sad and guilty for contributing in this business. From the other hand it was nice to see some more domestic birds and monkeys without cages playing around. The peacocks are allowed to go around freely and it was refreshing to see flamingos in the water so close to you. BUY TICKETS ONLINE they are €2 cheaper.

  • 5/5 Alex Miranda C. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely zoo with a beautiful design that brings one close to the animals. I personally thought it was a relaxing and cool time. Driving to the zoo feels a little remote but don’t worry—you’re on the right path. Plenty of parking at the zoo. The bird section is really nice! There’s also a pool that faces a dividing window with the penguins! Nice, fun, and relaxing.

  • 3/5 G P. 2 years ago on Google
    I was told that this was unlike other zoos. Sadly, it didn't seem that way to me. There are loads of birds in cages so small that make it impossible for them to fly around. The monkey section was ok, but it still felt a bit limited. Many of the animals also seemed to just have a mud area with zero vegetation and looked pretty sad. The kids liked it but we won't be going again.

    One of the strangest but greatest zoo experiences i have ever had. Everything is very close to you. You can feed a lot of the animals. A pelican tried to take food (zoo provided) out of my hand. I ended up throwing the pellets to it and it was catching them out of the air.

    Very nice, so many species of birds you don t see anywhere else and they are so well taken care. Amazing experience! Highly recommended!

    Loved it. Not the first visit, won't be the last either. The swimming pool is a great add-on that allows the kids and grown-ups a bit of rest on a warm day. It has shades pretty much everywhere and the animals are kept clean and in good health. Today the water around the several monkey species wasn't particularly clean, hence the 4 stars instead of the 5. It's really worth the trip and is a day well spent.

    Lovely place for a day out, animals looking healthy & happy, they have alot of space in their encolures. My favourite were flamingos. Park is clean and tidy, staff very polite. Highly recommended

    If you have ever been to Lisbon zoo, better not be disappointed here. Too less animals, too small. Pity.

    Usually not a big fan of caged animals. But the Lagos zoo is a beautiful oasis and the animals seem to be very happy and tranquil. Recommended for family members of all ages 👍

    Small zoo. The naturally cleaned lake with various monkey islands is nice. The other enclosures are not that great. If you purchase the tickets online you need to either print them or install an app. (Unlike most other zoos that just email a QR code for your phone).

    Excellent Conservation Zoo. Reasonable price. Lots to see and lots of information cards in Portuguese and English at each segment. Well laid out. Bigger than expected. Make sure you go at feeding time. Lots of fun with commentary by personnel. Animals seemed healthy, well cared for and content. Lovely Cafe overlooking the flamingos. Lots of seats around to sit and observe the animals.

    Excellent zoo. A good variety of animals, which are very accessible and seem to be happy. Cosy, not too busy, friendly stuff, good selection of snacks. Would highly recommend for a family visit.

    It is small, but with lot’s of shade. There are not so many different animals, but it was still great afternoon. With 2 kids it took 2 hours go around.

    This zoo is perfect for families with small children. The paths are shaded and close to the animals. Lots of small animals, beautiful exotic birds and farm animals. We missed the bigger attractions, apes, crocodiles etc, because the 16 month old needed to get home but we saw plenty of attractions and he had a blast. We arrived for opening at 10am and waited 10 minutes or so to get in. Maybe 10 families had arrived for opening. Pre-booking tickets doesn't fast track the process (but you do get a 2euro discount). It was a Wednesday in July but the numbers in the morning were very manageable eventhough everyone goes in the same direction We left at 12 and it was starting to get much busier. We passed a camp group and some tour buses arriving at that time. We were relieved to be going because the paths are quite narrow and it could be claustrophobic with too many people. Lots of low hanging branches. In that time, we got a little over half way around including a pit stop at the cafe for toasties (not great) and coffee (good) as well as spending extra time in the farm animals area so the little guy could climb on a tractor and ride the big fake cow. We will probably go back at the same time and go straight up the middle and take the second half of the zoo so we can see the bigger animals. We stopped at the pygmy hippos, which are adorable. It's a cramped zoo for lots of people and I do worry about the animals being in small enclosures but the zoo itself is well maintained, the animals look healthy and the track record of conservation projects supported by the zoo seems good. Its hard to know. It was a lovely family day out with a toddler.
