    One of the better zoos I have visited. There is an aquarium and a herpetarium. All the species are native to Bolivia. The gardeners do a magnificent job.

    Zoos are never 100% happy places. Animals belong in their natural habitat. But, be that as it is, this zoo is fairly well cared for. With a nice variety of animals from the Bolivian countryside. And don't forget to look for one of the sloths. They're not in an exhibit, they just roam around the park... very sloooowly.

    It's a great plaace for the Bolivians to take their families. Also you can see animals that you'll never see in the wild.

    its as noce as it could be in the big city that dont support Zoo. I m impressed of creativity of the workers to keep it running and still looks nice without the proper funds from local government.

    (Translated by Google) Nice place to take the family. In hot weather it feels cooler. It is seen that they take good care of the animals, there is a dining room inside. (Original) Lindo lugar para llevar a la familia. En épocas de calor se siente más fresco. Se ve que cuidan bien a los animales, hay comedor adentro.

    Diverse little city center zoo that has much to offer, especially if you wish to see different things than in Europe. Good for kids with a couple of playgrounds. You can even get diapers at the toilets. A great afternoon stroll with a hand ful of highlights such as sloths, jaguars, tocans... Recommended!

    Wonderful to be at an excellent zoo in Bolivia 🇧🇴!

  • 4/5 Alistair C. 1 year ago on Google • 275 reviews
    Large lush zoo with many interesting animals and birds with info boards in Spanish only. It's very pleasant and green with lots of shade and places to sit. A downside is that I felt many roaming animals should not be confined in such small spaces, eg, jaguars, small onças, foxes, some of whom were walking constantly around their confined space. Of course, this is an issue for all zoos worldwide.

    Best tourist attraction in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. It has more than 100 different species that can be found only here in Bolivia. Great guides throughout the zoo, and an overall amazing experience.

  • 3/5 Galileo 2 years ago on Google • 26 reviews
    Every major city has a zoo. This one isn't that large but they did have a significantly large exotic bird exhibit. My kids are crazy about birds so I thought I'd take a look and share the pics with them. It's nothing to write home about but if you are in need of an activity while there it's an excellent option.

    (Translated by Google) They should improve the living conditions of the animals ... Their artificial habitats are very precarious and it is obvious that they do not give it its due importance. I feel sorry for the poor animals. (Original) Deberian mejorar las condiciones de vida de los animales... Sus habitad artificiales son muy precarias y se nota que no le dan su debida inportancia.

  • 5/5 david f. 1 year ago on Google • 8 reviews
    You share a space with local people and some tourists, seeing what is left of the idea of a bright mind, a natural rights figure and a fighter for reserved nature spaces. The conservation of the Park could be better but I give a five in order to impulse improvement. Animals look healthy.

  • 3/5 Veronica A. 10 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Beautiful place, mostly clean with lots of flora but still a long way to become a good zoo. Animals need more space and a better environment according to their natural place of origin. Also more signaling needed, signs are too old or non existent.
