First time visiting this zoo in Rio but we enjoyed. Compared to a US zoo, it's smaller than what you would find in a major city however larger than anything in a metro area. They had most of the usual animals although many were hidden in their exhibits. As far as ♿ accessibility the side walks into the zoo where not great. Once you get into the zoo the paths are well maintained. I would say a fit para should be ok navigating alone with the hills / slope. Remember you and a get will get a discount for your special needs - make it worthwhile. Remember to use the restroom before being ushered out of the gift shop. I would recommend once.

(Translated by Google) I had the privilege of visiting the Bioparque and visiting the works. The place is getting wonderful and will be an international reference in the field. The professionals involved, the structure and the commitment for the place to become the Biopark are becoming incredible! Management really competent and committed to the place. I went to visit as a veterinarian and was really impressed with the care. It is expected that it will soon reopen so that the public can share the unique experience that it will become. The place has paid parking, bathrooms and places for family meals. Grade A! (Original) Tive o privilégio de conhecer o Bioparque e visitar as obras. O lugar está ficando maravilhoso e vai ser uma referência internacional no ramo. Os profissionais envolvidos, a estrutura e o empenho para que o local se torne o Bioparque estão ficando incríveis! Gestão realmente competente e comprometida com o lugar. Fui visitar como médico veterinário e realmente me impressionei com os cuidados. Fica a expectativa para que ele em breve reabra para o público poder compartilhar a experiência única que irá se tornar. Local conta com estacionamento pago, banheiros e locais para refeições em família. Nota dez!

The Rio de Janeiro Zoo is located next to the National Museum of Natural History, inside the huge park and gardens named Quinta da Boa Vista Gardens. The zoological garden is beautiful, with lots of green, vegetation and trees, and of course, animals from the world.The Zoological Gardens of Rio de Janeiro City is located on the grounds of Quinta da Boa Vista Park. It is a beautiful place to the ones who loves green and nature, with lots of trees, alleys of palm trees and sorted vegetation. And of course, it has lots of animal from all parts of Brazil and the World. Rio Zoo has animals from all over the world, and among the favorites of the public there is an Elephant, a Lion, a Giraffe, a Tiger, a Rhinoceros, eagles, gorillas and other species of simians.

This is a very nice family experience. The staff were very friendly and interactive with the visitors. In addition, the facility was very clean and well kept. While this is not a very large facility in comparison to some of the zoos I’ve visited in the US or the UK, the colorful diversity of the animals and birds did not fail to excite the eye. The parrot aviary gave you the opportunity to see the many large, brightly colored parrots up close and personal. Sadly, there were several animal enclosures that only had one of the species. The lion, the tiger, the elephant, and the panther. Even so, it was an enjoyable experience. It should also be noted that while you are there, you should check out the other parks in the area. They were large and full of costumes characters from cartoon and Disney. My family enjoyed ourselves at this facility and you will too!

(Translated by Google) Dear ones can tell me how the zoo is working, I want to take a group of 30 people. (Original) Queridos podem me informar como está o funcionamento do zoológico, quero levar um grupo de 30 pessoas.

I was introduced to this Park with the promise that the animals have a huge cage where you Walk above it on a walkway. Well this is true, but only for one habitat. the rest are shockingly small :( The walkthrough bird habitat is a neat experience, although a little to crowded I guess. The lion and the Tiger I would skip, if you don't want to get sad. They're very skinny and obsesively Walk in circles if at all.

Short review; Go here so they can keep the animals happy and improve on the park. The park is right in New renovations and there are more animals coming. Fun activity for +/- 2 hours. This will be a lot more when the other animals will come. 20 October 2021 there will come more animals. 40 reais for a adult I payed. Long review; I was here also +/- 4 years ago and the zoo was very diffirent. Had some stressed animals and the cages where not so big. They have improved a lot from this now. All the animals have new cages. I think they can still be better. But they did allready a lot to improve the enclosures. No stressed animals. And they all where or sleeping or playing. Not walking from left to right in there cages. They have some beautiful animals. Like a orangutan and other monkeys. Some big cat species and tropical birds. In the tropical bird enclosure you can go inside and come very close to them. And make beautiful pictures. The zoo in the past was lot bigger and they are still renovating the part that is now closed. There are some food stands for not to high prices. A tip for going here. Go early to the zoo and take a picknick blanket and some food. The zoo is in a very big park with a lot of grass where you can picknick very good. Its a beautiful location. Have fun!

Brand new ! Just opened after a a long overhaul. The zoo is very well organized and offers a great opportunity to see animals and learn about their habitat and how endangered are the species. It is located in a very pleasant park

Perfect for a walk and for kids but for a zoo you will only see an Asian lonely elephant in the African exhibition, 3 serpents, 3 ostrich, a hippo nose, monkeys, parrots, and 500 turtles and a skinny lion. Most exhibitions are close and because of the heat most felines are sleeping.

Excellent experience. It is a world class zoo, very beautiful. It has park, self service ticket service (you can also buy trough internet. The zoo is huge but it has a suggested pathway with arrows signals so you can make sure you see everything. It has several places to buy food, drinks and snacks. Among the animals you will see Lion, elephant, antelopes, monkeys, snakes and others. Special mention for the huge bird "cage" that you can walk in and walk Among the birds. A beautiful and very nice place to visit. The ticket was 47 brl (june 2023).

The zoo is really nice, with a small and intimate atmosphere. There are English and Brazilian signage, which I appreciated. The emphasis on animal conservation was a nice touch!

The place is in terrible state. You can see that there's a lack of investment. Disappointing.

(Translated by Google) Great tour! Place to take the family and have fun all day! Direct contact with nature through the new enclosures and landscaping!

A significant upgrade from the previous Zoo. Aninals with more space and well organized. Well worth a vist.

They are doing a great job, there are a variety of animals, and the zoo has been recently reformed. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, also very keen in giving suggestions to the things you should not miss. One of the beat attractions for families and also affordable. I would easily pay double for the entrance as a foreigner, but i can understand that the price needs to be affordable to the local. They have a good playground, and if you are lucky you can see them feeding the hippos who are just around the corner from the playground. Great initiative! Look forward returning in the future.

Very pleasant place but in my visit was some key animals missing as giraffe and zebra

I was really excited to see a zoo in Rio. But compared to zoos in the USA, it was very lacking. Very busy, but with so much space, it can be utilized better. Could do the whole zoo in an hour.

Wonderful place for kids and family! We avail the ticket combo for AquaRio and BioPark. Its fun to go outside after being locked up because of pandemic. The place is very clean, and with lots of animals.

Fantastic experience. There is a huge preoccupation from the park's side to explain the importance of preserving wildlife, which makes the experience of walking around and enjoying the animals even more interesting. I definitely recommend the trip. Take some time to enjoy the surrounding area ("Quinta da Boa Vista") and have a nice picnic as well.

Rather small,and with a few animals. Many empty cages, you would think that they would have a wide variety of tropical animals because of the region but not really. Overall it's ok, for a stroll in the park.

Took the kids here while we were in Brazil and it was beautiful. Very well put together zoo with lots of animals and really beautiful sculptures. Just be careful Going in as outside the gates are people trying to trick you into a different parking area.

Pretty good place to visit with kids. Other reviews portray it well. I just want to give newcomers a heads up: as you get near the zoo, you'll find many people trying to get you to park your vehicle right there and they'll tell you the official parking is full. It's as scam. Keep going until you find the official one. Much safer and a lot closer.

Beautiful set up,most of the animals are not showing up probably of the heat,none of the carnivors, Lion asleep,a beautiful elephant around, Pele,a zoo worker is great with English.parrots are impressive

A lovely park with good diversity of animals. Family fun but limited info about the animals. Easy to access and reasonably priced. Good facilities, toilets & places to eat and drink.

This old zoo renewed into a conservation park still has some of the old caged animals (notably the carnivorous) but the experience improved greatly from the old zoo. You will love to see the monkeys and birds. The site is located in a bigger property, where the royal family moved into while they were in Brazil. Good for a picnic and ball games.

The park outside the zoo is very beautiful, the zoo itself is well laid out, the bird sanctuary wonderful to be in seeing the birds so happy, however, when I got the the tiger dens there was one poor lonely cougar walking the figure 8 constantly, this was very disturbing, he was very anxious and I just wanted to cry, the enclosure was very small, he looked very lean, and on his own, very upsetting, didnt see any other wild cats, they didn't come out, but the cougar was disturbing enough. Starting to deal with my anxiety of the cougar I then see 1 elephant, people were banging on his enclosure wanting him to turn around, he was looking at them quite sadly and this flared my anxiety again, I actually cried at how cruel people can be to have social animals all on their own, its bad enough they are locked in, but to have no company is very disturbing, I live alone but can always leave my house and see people, these poor animals do not have that choice, very very sad, the zoo should be ashamed, animals shouldn't be caged, however unfortunately people still choose to exploit them for money, then at least have the decency to give them more of their own kind for company, jail is punishment, since when is a zoo a jail????

Place is nice but some animals were lonely 😞

I didn't like it. Small, half the things were under maintenance and the focus is on consumism and not on the animals. The food on the "monkeys restaurant" was bad 👎 and the place was horribly noisy. In fact the layout of the park is bad to the point that people flock to the birds cage which is right on the entrance. We felt claustrophobic with all the people and all the screaming (not just the kids, adults as well) and just left the queue. My 2 year old just wanted to go home. I would not recommend this to anyone.

(Translated by Google) PRESERVATION OF SPECIES IS NOT DONE IN ZOOLOGICAL! ANIMAL EXPLORATION Sad to see these animals in jail, miserable life! I don't know how there are people who still pay to go to the zoo! Can you imagine quarantining your whole life? These animals live locked up to make money! (Original) PRESERVACAO DE ESPECIES NAO É FEITA EM ZOOLOGICO! EXPLORACAO DE ANIMAIS Tristeza ver esses animais na cadeia, vida miseravel! Eu nao sei como tem gente que ainda paga pra ir no zoológico!

More like a farm than a real zoo. Dogs, ducks and cats everywhere.

A big área of the zoo is under maintenance and the price is too high for the quality they offer. It is a very beautiful place and remember me of my childhood

At the moment some areas of the zoo are under improvements (Construction) even though, there are a considerable amount of birds, and some monkeys, elephants, hypos, turtles, a lion, wolf's between others. The areas that are realease for visitation are fine and I would say I had fun even with the current restrictions.

I would call this a farm and not really a zoo. it's kinda sad many of the animals look as if they are not being taken care of very well. some looked malnourished. many areas look as if they need repairs too. and not to many options to eat here either. bring food and water.

The zoo was under construction. Had some attraction. Wish the were all open.

Great park, nice place to escape the busy city

(Translated by Google) The zoo is nice, well-kept and with very helpful staff. But it does not have many animals inside because they still make it, it has more species of birds and monkeys. It also has a nice canteen where you can get something to eat or drink and then enjoy the beauty of the park! There is no danger that young children can play comfortably (Original) Ωραίος ο ζωολογικός κήπος προσεγμένος και με πολύ εξυπηρετικό προσωπικό. Δεν έχει όμως πολλά ζώα μέσα γιατί ακόμα το φτιάχνουν, έχει περισσότερα είδη πουλιών και μαϊμούδων. Επίσης έχει και μια ωραία καντίνα που μπορείς να πάρεις κάτι να φας η να πιεις και μετά να απολαύσετε την ομορφιά του πάρκου! Δεν υπάρχουν καθόλου κίνδυνοι μπορούν να παίξουν άνετα τα μικρά παιδιά

The place passed by a major renovation and got better. It's not 100% yet but it worth the visit

(Translated by Google) Zoo is not fun, although it is necessary, today, to maintain the species. I hope that with the renovation the animals will be installed in suitable places and will be well cared for. (Original) Zoológico não é diversão, apesar de ser necessário, hj, para manutenção das espécies. Espero que com a reforma os animais estejam instalados em locais adequados e sejam bem tratados.

(Translated by Google) The zoo in Rio underwent some modifications to improve the housing conditions of the bixinhos, I confess that I noticed a little neglect with them when I was visiting. Today in the hands of a new adm they say that everything has changed and the bixos are being well taken care of, I hope so. I haven't been after the move yet. Among all the bixos I saw I was amazed by so many species of little monkeys. (Original) O zoológico do Rio sofreu algumas modificações para melhorar as condições habitacionais dos bixinhos, confesso que notei um pouco de descaso com os mesmos quando estive visitando.

Entre todos os bixos que vi fiquei maravilhado com tantas espécies de macaquinhos.

(Translated by Google) If it is the bankruptcy or closing of the Zoo I will celebrate, because the animals are kept in the cages for a long time and the animals have to be free in the habitats. In fact, this place was not even meant to exist. (Original) Se for a falência ou o fechamento do Jardim Zoológico eu comemoro, porque os animais ficam muito tempo presos nas jaulas e os animais tem que ser livres no habitats.
