    Three elephants have died at this zoo, and their current "rescued" former circus elephant, Ely, is living in an enclosure that is too small for the exercise she needs, too hard for her joints, and has no shade for her, causing a severe sunburn. DON'T GO HERE if you value treating animals responsibly and kindly.

    A total of 3 elephants have died at The San Juan de Aragon Zoo. Maggie, an Asian elephant being the latest. Maggie was euthanized after suffering from degenerative osteoarthritis. Ely could be next on the list of dead elephants at San Juan de Aragon Zoo if nothing is done to help her. It is important to note that every animal at the San Juan de Aragon Zoo is insured and upon the animal's death the zoo receives compensation.

    I wish I could put 0 stars! A total of 3 elephants have died at The San Juan de Aragon Zoo. Maggie, an Asian elephant being the latest.

    This zoo is neglectful of the animals they keep in captivity. The animals are kept in terrible conditions. Release the animals in poor condition to sanctuaries.

    Came here on a weekday so you can imagine it was very empty. Quite small but very friendly staff who try their best to accommodate you and make sure you have a good experience. The little train ride takes you around the zoo. Even though is not expensive it is a bit bumpy so watch out if you’re carrying babies or little ones. There are little playgrounds for kids but watch out as the old wood can give little ones splinters. Overall nice little zoo with nice staff. Just very outdated.

    Zoo is part of this great public park for a peaceful walk, exercise, reading, or play. It is huge and has it all with migratory birds, a lake, amusement rides, food vendors and refreshments, restrooms, an outdoor gym, a large public swimming pool, and a large zoo. Admission is free to the park and zoo. You only need to pay for parking, food and entertainment activities.

    First of all there are no entrance fee so you might want to adjust your expectation or demand. Second and most importantly the place is great for a family day out. contrary to some reviewers that moans how the animal are not in great condition, i find that they look to be normal. off course you will not see the tiger or lion running around tireless chasing shadow all day long just to cater your thirst for amusement. the elephant is looking old , maybe they could find a younger one but who am i to judge at least they keep the old place clean and most of the animal look decent. we went there on the weekend and the public park across the zoo are crowded so perhaps it is better to go on the weekday cause the road between the zoo and the park get crowded with cars. but once you get inside the zoo its actually not that crowded, because the pathway is wide enough. we took our time strolling inside , its nice to see most of the animals although there are some sections that are closed due to the pandemi, but its a good 2 hours walk.

    If this is the first zoo you go to, it will be very pleasant. It's rather small but very well kept. It has your regular "zoo" animals. Many flora that seem to be part of the exhibition as well, unlike other zoos. that's what makes it stand out, great to spend the afternoon!

    Nice place. Not too crowded on a Saturday and the place looks well taken care of. There are no places to eat inside. Only a few snacks and not a lot of options.

  • 3/5 Matthew W. 5 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    First off I'm American so my expectation for a zoo is fairly High. However this zoo was completely free other than parking which was very inexpensive. If you don't mind just wandering around and having a good walk and seeing some animals this can be a good experience but if you're actually looking for a zoo experience I suggest going somewhere else. You get what you pay for, and I paid about $2 to park and nothing more to walk around and see exotic animals so there's that.

    This zoo exceeded our expectations for a city zoo. It is well-maintained, and there was a good variety of animals. We went in the afternoon, so many of the animals were inside. We would suggest going in the morning. There are clean restrooms, but always carry tissue with you.

  • 2/5 Carlos V. 2 years ago on Google
    Considering free entrance you can not ask for much. I’m over 65 and can’t walk much, I tire easily so my family and I took the little tour in the little train, it was so disappointing, didn’t take us to see the lions, zebras and who knows how much more, paid 40 pesos per person, the train shows less than half of the zoo. Disappointing.

    It's a public zoo, and the entrance is free on Sundays. The best part is the snake and spider's exhibition. They charge about MX$40 for that. You can buy snacks and drinks inside the zoo. A big section of the park is under renovation, but it's nice to see what's open.
