I attended the zoo today and it was a an informative experience and saw animals that I never even heard of however I understand this is a nonprofit but the conditions are not well for small or big animals for example the African elephant, the tiger, alligator enclosure and many others. Even if it is a nonprofit, It shouldn’t mean that the animals should not have their Water bowl empty and food bowl empty at 10 AM when they open at 8 AM… A few of the enclosures for the animals are very small and you can see the small and big animals pacing in distress. A few of the animals for example the ostriches are under veterinarian care however although the sign says they are on medication, these ostriches should be kept apart, under shade, and perhaps bandages to prevent the ostriches from picking at their wounds. You can even see groups of mosquitoes picking at the animals..Although i enjoyed seeing animals I never thought I would see, I in general do not like zoos and this definitely emphasized that I will never visit a zoo again. I will forever keep these animals in my thoughts and hope as terrible as it sounds that they pass away soon and peacefully because no animal should live like this. I think the people who work here do care about the animals and like I said I understand it is a nonprofit but there Has to be assistance out there and the enclosures should be kept in better conditions.

Small zoo, needs more funding unfortunately. Still it's an okay zoo for a couple hours if the heat and humiditydoesn't get you first. Some enclosures like the lions and elephant are a bit small to be honest. Although they all look well fed

This is a good one! Great place to spend the day. Fair amount of animals, clean, good ice cream shop! Overall good for kids or just a fun romantic day!

The zoo had a wide variety of animals and it was impressive—I really enjoyed watching some of them—but some of the enclosures were so tiny and the animals looked so sad. Fat python in a tiny box, elephant standing so lonely in a tiny pool, big cats with nowhere to run. There was also electric wiring around a lot of the animal enclosures (otter, spider monkeys, elephant) which made me super sad to think about.

Nice place for everyone who live animals, I because the hard rain can not go all the way around, so sad

I'm not in favor of a Zoo but I understand that most of them are rescue. I suggest that the Zoo needs to be bigger for the animals, some of them seem that are stressed there: the lions, pumas, leopards. It's so beautiful and it's clean. The price is reasonable.

Obviously animals are always cute and nice to see, but the species and exhibits aren't well kept. The zoo's staff seems, in the great part, sloopy and unkind.. I felt drained at the end of my visit. Still in someway, it's one of the few places I believe can keep a kid excited and encourage their awarness over wildlife and our responsability with it.

There was a lot aminal for the size so i was surprised. It's a nice spot to hang out...

(Translated by Google) The place is in service, with all the biosafety protocols. The animals are well cared for and the place is very nice, there is good vegetation. Very clean bathrooms. (Original) El lugar está en servicio, con todos los protocolos de bioseguridad. Los animales están bien atendidos y el lugar es muy agradable, hay buena vegetación. Los baños muy limpios.

(Translated by Google) An appropriate place to take children. The care of the animals is optimal. Nice place !! (Original) Un lugar apropiado para llevar a los niños. El cuidado de los animales es óptimo. Lindo lugar !!

There is a lot of room for improvement. It does look better than 4 years ago when i visited last time, but animals are looking sad and alone. Children came excited and we're getting more and more sad as we went through the zoo. Animals could benefit so much from enriched environment, but there is a severe lack of it! Not to mention broken glass at the otter enclosure.. Also, I would give -5* for the prehistoric "website" where you can't open some things at all, can't buy tickets or arrange for the guided tour , and for the lack of possibility to arrange a visit over the phone (especially if you have a big group of children).

(Translated by Google) It is a very nice place to visit with children. But it was already small (Original) Es un lugar muy bonito para visitar con los niños. Pero ya se quedó pequeño

Perfect place to spend half a day with kids. Don’t miss the show in the “Museo Vivo”.

Fascinating and you also contribute to keep animal species in safe shelters.

(Translated by Google) It is beautiful to see the variety of animals. I did not like that the animals seem to be stressed. (Original) Es hermoso ver la variedad de animales. No me gustó que los animales parecen estar estresados.

The atmosphere is great the animals you see are unique. The plant life is one of a kind.

It is a great zoo even though it is small. My family loved every part of it and you feel really close to the animals... because you are! I would recommend it especially because of the great pricing. The only negative is not much food is available. There are several kiosks throughout the zoo but some are closed since the pandemic. Best time to go (at least for us)... Between 1:30 and 2:00. It was empty the last 2 times we went!

Good place to go with little kids.

An incredible variety of animals and different species. There's so much to see and the staff are very friendly! No need for binoculars

Enclosures are far too small for any of the animals. 3 ostriches had a tiny fenced area and missing half of their feathers. Other animals completely isolated with no socialisation, very obvious to see how distressed they are. Awful experience, took 25 mins to walk the entire zoo. No environmental enrichment, very hard to witness. This place shouldn't be operating. Huge birds in small cages too. Heartbreaking to see.

it is a small zoo in the middle of everything. but it is very well done and maintained. plenty of shade. only complaint is that the animal exhibits are small - but i am no expert. clean. comfortable nice few hour walking

Nice big Zoo. Visit early to see all the exibits. Price is good and everything is well organized.

Amazing selection for an in city zoo, the animals for most part look healthy, some of the cages are too small in my opinion (no aminmal should be caged) we actually brought tickets to what we thought was an illumination sho, didn't realise it was at the zoo at the time which was a pleasent surprize.

(Translated by Google) Okay (Original) Bueno

Different day for me and i saw some different animals, why not at least you walk and hold the hands of your lovers....

Excellent place for kids and adult entertainment.

Full of color, animals and tropical feeling. This is a place that you must visit if you are in barranquilla and you have children. My kids love seeing all the exotic animals that they do not get to see in the states, yes We have visited the Bronx Zoo and even thought the bronx zoo is a beautiful zoo the Zoologico de Barranquilla is a wonderful one in a much smaller scale. It is a fantastic facility and their weekend activities are full of educational information. We all enjoyed visiting the zoo, I highly recommend it as an extra activity while in town.

It is an excellent place to go with your kids and show them the different animals. Although, animals should not be kept in cages, it is pedagogical since children learn that animals and the environment should be protected.

A good place for everyone to visit, a jewel and pride of the city with a wide variety species.

Very small, but they keep it up. I love the "Animales en la via" lose iguanas and peacocks running around. I

It is prove that Elephants can not be alone, without a partner...this elephant is so sad. A lot of the animals here just look so sad. The place the got is so small for them.
