  • 3/5 Verónica B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a beautiful place to go to spend the day, we loved that the flames were loose. We found it very sad to see the monkeys looking for shade on the wooden posts, they do not have trees or anything else to protect them from the sun while they are outdoors, that could be improved, not only for the monkeys, the rest of the animals also need where to take cover from the sun ... (Original) Es un precioso lugar para ir a pasar el día, nos encantó que las llamas estuvieran sueltas. Nos pareció muy triste ver los monos buscando sombra en los postes de madera, no tienen árboles u otra cosa que los proteja del sol mientras están al aire libre, se podría mejorar eso, no solo para los monos, el resto de los animales también necesitan dónde cubrirse del sol...

    Awesome exhibits, and great place to see local animals as a tourist, on top of a collection of more exotic animals.

    (Translated by Google) A real disaster at the Lecocq park zoo, there is very little variety of animals and there is not a single sign indicating what is in each corral. The park as a green space, is neat and clean (Original) Un verdadero desastre el zoo de parque Lecocq, hay muy poca variedad de animales y no hay ni un solo cartel indicando que es lo que está en cada corral. El parque como espacio verde, está cuidado y limpio

    Incredible place for spending quality time with the family. Aside from from the Zoo, you have a free BBQ place, plenty of them actually. Highly recommendable to visit.

  • 3/5 deepanshi j. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice place to spend the weekend relaxing with your family or friends. Grill, dance, play, blend with the nature. Arrive early to get the grilling place is the only suggestion.

  • 4/5 Sagnik D. 6 years ago on Google
    Lovely place for a weekend picnic. Not much far from Montevideo. Plenty of Bus options you can avail from any corner of the city, but best option is to grab a bus from Tres Cruces Shopping. Takes you around 1:5 hours to reach along Ruta 1 and another 10 mins walk before you reach entrance gate. There generally is a nominal entry fee 20 pesos per person but we were lucky that day we visited and no entry fee was required for the day as the lady at the gate informed us. You will find plenty of open spots with Parilla places and cemented bench and tables for your perfect weekend picnic. Vast land acquired by the zoo, but not many animals to find. Sometimes you can see llamas roaming around in public if you are lucky. I was not interested in that but my wife was super excited. Over all, it's a pretty good getaway place if you are looking for a one day relaxation not too far from the city.

  • 2/5 Thais G. 5 years ago on Google
    The place is abandoned, however there a lot of animals there. The children have some fun because of the animals, but the place is prepared to receive visitors.

  • 2/5 Paula C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice and quiet place to get out of the routine a bit and be outdoors but certain things cannot go unnoticed. Already the fact that there are animals in a habitat very different from the one they come from is quite frightening for them and on top of that, not having trees so that they can breathe is evil. Today it was sunny all day, the monkeys hid behind the column escaping from the heat, and so did other animals. It hurts enough to see that and not be able to do anything. Anyway, hopefully that will be solved (Original) Muy lindo lugar y tranquilo para salir un poco de la rutina y estar al aire libre pero no puede pasar desapercibido ciertas cosas. Ya el hecho de que hayan animales en un hábitat muy distinto del que provienen es bastante aterrador para ellos y encima no contar con árboles para que puedan airearse es maldad. Hoy estuvo soleado todo el día, los monos se escondían atrás de la columna escapando del calor, y así otros animales. Duele bastante ver eso y no poder hacer nada. En fin, ojalá se solucione eso
