Entrance fee for nationals was $4 and for tourists $6. There is parking place just in front of it. It's a decent zoo with some variety of animals. You have to adjust your expectations though because you will be mostly seeing different types of birds and other feather friends. Just a few 'exotic' animals which is a disappointment, having in mind the rich fauna of Panama with so many species of mammals, reptiles and amphibians. The farm-style of the zoo is a positive thing. The poor maintenance is not. Half of the signs with the names of the animals is barely visible. Animals seem hungry and the guard feeding them seemed even more hungry. Seems like the fee money is going somewhere else because it's definitely not going into the zoo maintenance or the employees.

Nice place to walk around, many people take pictures because of the landscaping. Sad to see animals in cages.

I am not a fan of having animals in cages. This zoo looks clean and very well kept. It is worth the visit. Someday all animals will live free.

This was a nice visit. The grounds are gorgeous. When I started walking in I was skeptical. But then we saw some amazing animals. And the place is very big. Good value for the money. It’s a nice hike. I was a bit sad to see such beautiful birds caged but also, if they were not in cages we wouldn’t be able to see them.

it was full of trees and nature which I loved but I was missing more exotic animals like monkeys and other's and not almost only birds, they moved the location of the yellow frog so this exhibit is no longer available, in general i had a lot of fun and i will recommend to go if you are zoo lovers like I am.

We underdressed for a wet day. The animals were pretty active and the cost for visitors to Panama is five dollars for adults and two for under 12. We enjoyed the spider monkeys the most.

A farm style Zoo, something very unique with beautiful nature! And very affordable.

Personally I generally liked it. Not being an animal lover or a card carrying member of PETA, I still disagreed with the animal welfare. The saddest was a monkey trying to get grass to eat just out of reach because nothing they ate was in the pen. Every animal had dried rice and beans, do most even eat that? But to put it in context, they seem very underfunded but the people seem to care generally. But a farm would treat them better often.

Wide array of really cool animals you can’t see in most other places, but I couldn’t help but feel bad for the animals. The cages aren’t the most spacious or accommodating to the animals needs and lots of them looked visibly sad.

(Translated by Google) It is a very beautiful place with exuberant tropical rainforest vegetation. There are several trails where you can walk to enjoy nature. Many of these trails are also mountain biking routes. To access the latter, $ 15 must be paid. It is a place to enjoy with family and friends. (Original) Es un lugar muy bello con una exuberante vegetación de selva lluviosa tropical. Existen varios senderos por donde se puede caminar para disfrutar de la naturaleza. También muchos de estos senderos son rutas para practicar el ciclismo de montaña. Para el acceso a estos últimos se deben pagar $15. Es un lugar para disfrutar con familiares y amigos.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful natural site, full of orchids, butterflies, sloths and natural life at a very cheap cost.

(Translated by Google) The place is full of butterflies, although it is self-directed, there is always a need for a person who is especially aware when the children ask questions that only the experts of the myiposario can answer and there was none. However, if the insects do not scare you, the butterflies flutter everywhere they stop in your clothes, hands, head, etc. For a good picture 😁 @andytours (Original) El lugar esta lleno de mariposas aunque esta autodirigido, siempre hace falta una persona que este pendiente sobre todo cuando los niños hacen preguntas que solo los expertos del miriposario pueden contestar y no habia ningumo. Sin embargo si los insectos no te asustan las mariposas revolotean por todos lados se paran en tu ropa, manos cabeza etc. Para una buena foto 😁 @andytours

terrible terrible place. i was there with my wife and baby at the 9 of March 2019 at 3pm. i felt so sad for the poor animals - living in old crumbilng cages, under the lowest possible standards. how the people who run this place can live with themselves whilst those poor tapir, cayman, parrots and the others suffer in such a way?? and at the same time the visitors have nice trails to walk.. if i could i would have open the cages of those poor animals and set them free whilst sending the people in charge of this place to sleep for few nights in those cages, with the contaminated water and poor food they provide to those animals. what a shame! dont go there, because by going there you support this Subhuman behavior.

(Translated by Google) Quiet place to spend it with the little ones (Original) Lugar tranquilo para pasarla con los más pequeños

Nice atmosphere to wander around on a Sunday but a bit depressing, some cages better than others. Why are the toucans' cages so small? And the pigs? Amphibian exhibition has moved to the Smithsonian in Panama, which is excellent. Worth going for a picnic in the shady trees and some people watching.

Good for walking and relaxing. My recommendation

The habitats are old but the animals are in great condition. The layout is larger than I expected, wear your walking shoes! All this place needs are signs on the plants and it would be a botanical garden too!

This was an exciting place to visit. Granted, it feels like it took forever to make it to the valley where this is located. The zoo can be hard to find if you drive yourself and you or your tour guide is not familiar with the area. I loved seeing all the animals there. Different types of falcons and eagles, raccoons, frogs, spiders, ostriches, emus, pigs, chickens, turkeys, turtles, lizards, regular and white peacocks, goats, coyotes, and some more animals that I am probably missing. I wouldn't take a special trip just to see this zoo. If you don't have some other business up there I would visit a zoo someplace closer to the city because it's a trek to get up into the valley. It's full of winding roads. Beautiful view headed out there though. I'm glad we did it.

I am not in favor of zoos, but I would understand that the animals they have there, is to conserve the species, I do not have much more to say

There are a lot of animals in this zoo, but it’s mostly birds. The zoo needs better signs for each station. Also the birds seemed thirsty and dirty, I recommend placing a water system that allows the birds to drink water whenever and play in the water too.

Great! Love to see protection efforts. Great activity with children

Amazing! Highly recommended, the monkeys jumped on to the boat giving us an extra experience that we couldn't imagine without. The sloth exhibit was worth every second of time we spent in Panama

Great place to be with nature, there is a hotel and hills to climb, best part of it is to row a kayak through the lake

Amazing resort, great staff, friendly reception, educated tour guides! Would highly recommend.

A modern respite in the middle of a rainforest. A must see!

Very informative and knowledgeable guide, beautiful butterflies but also wide variety of orchids in the Orchid museum nextdoir and sloths in the sloth rescue next to that!

Great location!!! If you like nature.. We one of their sanctuary tours.. Short..... Nothing to brag about it... Love the feline cats!!

Great customer service, helpful, nice tours, great lodgings, food is acceptably good enough.

Lots of 🦋

Very good cause to visit and support.

Truly an experience for the nature lover. The guides were friendly. The sight of the cappuccino monkeys, howlers, sloths, butterflies and so much more warmed my heart❤

Great, local spot for an outing with kids. Lovely corner of El Valle. I can understand those who don't like the cages; ideally, with more funding, there could be more space for the animals.

Great Place to bring the Family, to do picnic

Great adventure for the family!

Small enclosures. Says it is a rescue home but non native ostriches are also kept here.

Beautiful location in El Valle. Primates have a large and expensive diet that is very costly. Stay tuned for more info and fun ideas to help raise some funds. These monkeys are on the "Critically Endangered" list. For more info on donating your time and/or funds...pls contact Adriana or Mauricio at Nispero Zoo website. Happy Valentine's Day!🐒🐒🐒⚘⚘⚘

Small zoo but interesting. Not so well organized so you end up wandering around looking at the animals. Has wild (jaguar, monkeys) as well as domestic (chicken, pigs etc.). Pleasant couple of hours as long as you are not expecting a major zoo.

It's worth a visit. It's a very beautiful natural park.

The Nispero Zoo is a jewel in the paradise. Their staff is very friendly and professional. The Zoo needs some maintenance since it's old and rugged. I'm pretty sure that one day it will be privatized, which is going to be a bad thing. Anyway, they should have a donation box on the counter where they sell candy since donations are going to help this place to keep up for longer time.

Great Zoo, nice and clean...a lot of nature to enjoy...

(Translated by Google) Please close that place, I recommend NOT to go. It gave me pain to see animals in poor care: an animal was sick and weak, dead animals in the cages, there was a chicken bleeding in the tail because the other chickens were pecking at them there, there were some abandoned houses (they are near the lake) where They had baby animals without their mothers, alone there and other animals in cages that looked like dogs. Truly disappointing, I don't go back to that place. It would be better if they closed that zoo and left the animals free in their natural habitat. (Original) Porfavor cierren ese lugar, recomiendo NO ir. Me dió dolor ver animales en mal cuidado: un animal estaba enfermo y débil, animales muertos en las jaulas, había un pollo sangrando en la cola porque los otros pollos los estaban picoteando ahí, había unas casitas abandonadas (se encuentran cerca del lago) donde tenían animales bebes sin sus madres, ahi solos y otros animales en jaulas que parecían de perros. Verdaderamente decepcionante, no vuelvo a ese lugar. Sería mejor que cerraran ese zoológico y dejaran a los animales libres en su habitat natural.

Best zoo in Panama. This is my personal opinion. The streets in El valle de Antón are not good but is a lovely place to connect with nature and see beautiful landscapes.

Must visit place if you are in el valle.

Absolutely very nice the animals I will keep and nice it was really nice

Quite nice, they have many many animals, good place to take young kids to see animals, they dont sell animal feed anymore unfortunately because it seems ppl kept throwing it at the wrong animals

This zoo offered more than I thought it would have. A pleasant surprise and well worth the admission fee ($3) since I'm a resident of Panama. Had many types of birds, koi fish, some monkeys, alligator, crocodile, rabbits, pigs, chicken, leopards, etc.

That’s a great plants and animals. I’m taking a star away for small enclosures for some of the animals. Most were decent enough, by zero standards but the coyotes and wolves just really made me sad. My children couldn’t even like they were so sad at the coyote pacing around. Overall, grades are very fair price. Great way to spend a couple of hours.

While the zoo is beautiful with lots of animals to see, it’s very sad to see the coyotes, monkeys, jaguars and the pigs trapped in their small confinements. They were clearly stressed and panting around back and forth for space. These animals deserve a large amount of space as they’re intelligent animals. Shame on the zoo for keeping them confined.

Nice place for Nature lover Nice weater mountain views and many more

I have been coming here for more than 8 years and it is great every single time. A must go in El Valle.

If you came from overseas you have seen better. This is really for locals and have lot more farm animals.

The zoo was clean and everyone was super friendly

An impressive array of animals it is true, but these aren't the ones you want to see. The enclosures are clearly too small for so many of the animals and I came away feeling sad more than anything, despite telling myself a lot of them were rescued. If you really love animals and not just seeing them, don't go here.

It rai Ed but on a good day, the garden would have been soo beautiful

Cool but a bit sad at times. A number of animals seem sick or disturbed, like the deer with patches of skin missing or the coyote pacing endlessly around his probably too-small cage.

This zoo has an excellent variety of animals to see, and an extenssive variety of tropical plants for sale. However, the cage areas are devoid of hygiene. They literaly reek, creating an unpleasant visit. Animal are poorly kept. And footpath needs a lot of attention. These footpaths are in desperate need of coble stones or flat surfaces. Many elderly would like to visit but, because of fractured terrain, they avoid visiting. There is no wheelchair accesability. It's a shame, that such a potentially beatiful place, where one could have a great and relaxing experience, is so abandoned and kept in deplorable conditions.

Small but nice to see. A nice variety of animals, even some vegetation that can be bought to plant at home. We only didn't get to see the golden frog, which was down-letting.

Very sad place. The enclosures are small. No activities for the animals. We wanted to let the macaws, monkeys and jaguar free. The monkeys put their hand on their heart and tapped and looked at us with pleading eyes. So sad. They probably couldn't make it if they were free but this is no life.

This zoological garden is embedded in a wonderful mountainous landscape. The animals usually have a sufficiently large enclosure. The facility is very well maintained and always worth a visit.
