    **WARNING AVOID THIS ZOO** Animals in poor condition. Cages are small, filthy and some even broken. Park in disarray, broken down benches. Birds and cats are heaving the most terrible and small environment. Boycot Vigozoo. This park should shut down and offer all the animals to parks that are capable of taking proper care of them.

    (Translated by Google) Horrible. The animal with which you start the visit is the Hen .. And from there everything goes downhill. Few animals and poorly maintained facilities. Good thing it's cheap. Still don't throw away € 5 per person please. Save them and go eat a menu. (Original) Horrible. El animal con el que empiezas la visita es la Gallina..Y de ahí ya va todo en picado. Pocos animales e instalaciones mal cuidadas. Menos mal que es barato. Aún así no tirar con 5€por persona por favor. Ahorraoslos e ir a comer un menú.

    (Translated by Google) A shame Neither animals nor visitors deserve a zoo like this. No non-primate bears, a lioness, a tiger and a panther. Animals in solitude, outdated and not very well maintained facilities, no cafeteria, etc. For that, it is better not to have a zoo and better for everyone (Original) Una pena. Ni los animales ni los visitantes se merecen un zoo como este. Ni osos no primates, una leona, un tigre y una pantera. Animales en soledad, instalaciones anticuadas y no muy cuidadas, sin cafetería, etc. Para eso mejor no tener zoo y mejor para todos

    (Translated by Google) It is not worth going. It is in a phase of extinction and they do not renew animals. More than half are missing and everything is very neglected. The best thing would be for the animals to be transferred to another institution with better conditions for the animals and to close this definitively. Totally inadvisable. (Original) No merece la pena ir. Está en fase de extinción y no renuevan animales. Más de la mitad faltan y está todo muy descuidado. Lo mejor sería que cedieran los animales a otra institución con mejores condiciones para los animales y cerraran esta definivamente. Totalmente desaconsejable.

    What a great little Zoo! Although a bit out of the way up in the hills, there are two city buses that go there and it's an easy drive (about 20-30 minutes from the city centre - taxi would be an option for some). Ignore reviews saying it's dear / caro - it's €5 per adult and run by volunteers. This is good value and the money supports their work and the animals (not cheap). London Zoo is nearly 4 times this amount for an adult as a comparison. There are many animals to see, including large ones such as lions, tiger, grizzly bears, zebra and black panther as well as many smaller ones, birds and a number of 'houses' including a noctural one, reptiles and butterflies in the summer. Although a smaller zoo we spend many hours there on a quiet weekday and moreorless had the animals to ourselves. There are fantastic views of the Ria and Vigo, Cangas and Moana from the Zoo throughout and also an excellent lookout and small forest picnic park just outside the main entrance. The Zoo facilities are well kept and the cafe is simple but serviceable for a light bite and a good coffee or something stronger. Well worth a visit.

    (Translated by Google) To have a good time with children, you have to understand that many of the animals are recovered from situations infinitely worse than their situation at the zoo. (Original) Para pasar un buen rato con los niños, hay que entender que muchos de los animales son recuperados de situaciones infinitamente peores a su situación en el zoo.

    (Translated by Google) I have today September 3, 2020, and there were many areas in abandonment or under construction, I have been about to ask for the complaint book, but then the site of the snakes and spiders made me change my mind, I hope they are soon all works completed and you can see all the animals well. (Original) He hido hoy dia 3 de septiembre de 2020, y habia muchas zonas en abandono o en obras, he estado a punto de pedir el libro de reclamaciones, pero luego el sitio de las serpientes y arañas me hizo cambiar de opinion, espero que pronto esten todas las obras finalizadas y se pueda ver bien todos los animales.

    (Translated by Google) It is a good place to enjoy with the family. I would not recommend going in winter since there are many animals that winter and the visit would be boring. Even so, it is a recommended site. (Original) Es un buen lugar para disfrutar con la familia. No recomendaría ir en invierno ya que,hay muchos animales que invernan y la visita sería aburrida. Aun así es un sitio recomendable.

    (Translated by Google) It is always nice to visit Vigozoo. Although there are many empty enclosures and in some it is difficult to see the animals. In my last two visits I was unable to access the Butterfly Garden, which is great. (Original) Siempre resulta agradable visitar Vigozoo. Aunque hay muchos recintos vacíos y en algunos es dificil ver a los animales. En mis dos últimas visitas no pude acceder al Mariposario, que está genial.

  • 4/5 Nuno R. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice afternoon spent there. High grass/herbs made difficult to spot some animals, together with heat, could not see the tiger, but then again it best mimicks there natural habitat.

  • 3/5 Joaquin B. 7 years ago on Google
    Rather sad zoo, small, some of the animals look depressed, a few of the habitats seem ok (mostly the native animals').

  • 4/5 Ioana H. 1 year ago on Google
    We especially liked the fruit bats. We came in the afternoon and many animals were sleeping and could not be seen but towards the evening they woke up.

  • 3/5 Roxy R. 1 year ago on Google
    My family and I decided to visit the zoo on a Saturday afternoon. If you have a child who is 3 years old or under they can enter for free, two adults cost around 12€. We looked at the map and headed towards the first stop. They had reptiles, insects, and birds…. it was lovely. Then we looked at the map to decide our next stop, we noticed that they had a lot of zones “under construction” which was a bit devastating. As we went from one place to another we could see that some animals were pacing around and wouldn’t stop. We came to the conclusion that maybe they were doing so because they were anxious or stressed. We didn’t get to see many animals because they were either napping or hiding.

  • 5/5 ‫אלעד �. 1 year ago on Google
    It's fun for about 2.5 hours. The cafeteria is still closed so better to bring food with you.

  • 3/5 Gustavo Henrique R. 1 year ago on Google
    The map should include an itinerary for you to see all attractions. It is not designed in a friendly way for visitors.

  • 3/5 Jacob C. 1 year ago on Google
    It was nice! It is kind of in the middle of nowhere, but it’s a good stop/detour if you’re doing the Camino Porugúes from Vigo. The staff was super friendly and gave us pointers on how to get back on trail. They also stamped our credenciales. Some animals did seem a little… neglected? Or sad, at least, but what do I know about animals? I’d most likely return, hopefully with all the renovations finished.

  • 3/5 Aprillia A. 10 months ago on Google
    Animal is not in good condition, and whenever we go, there are always so many repairs

  • 5/5 D N. 9 months ago on Google
    Loved this zoo. We visit the local zoos when on holidays and this was enjoyable. You can get up close to the bear and lion which is great. Some enclosures are under renovation which was a pity but look forward to returning when everything is back open. Lady at the front wasn’t the friendliest as thought we were trying to say our daughter was younger than she is. But aside from that it was great.

  • 5/5 Lucy B. 8 months ago on Google
    The most active animals I have ever seen in a zoo. Very clean, well maintained. Best part is the animals have plenty of room in there spaces.

    (Translated by Google) A really nice place to visit with the family, me and my 5 daughters and my wife had a lot of fun, very well organized even with play areas for the little ones and piknik areas. You must see it! Tigers, lions, bears and a large reptile house (Original) Davvero un bel posto da visitare con la famiglia, io ed i miei 5 figlie e mia moglie ci siamo divertiti molto ,molto ben organizzato anche con aree gioco per i più piccoli ed aree piknik. Dovete vederlo! Tigri leoni orsi e un gran rettilario

  • 4/5 RM P. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It's okay to spend an afternoon. Some animals are not seen. I would recommend that you put a route to be able to look at it, since you have to do a scalextri so that you do not have anything left without looking (Original) Está bien para pasar una tarde. Algunos animales no se ven. Recomendaría que pusieran una ruta para poder mirarlo, ya que tienes que hacer escalextri para que no te quede nada sin mirar

    (Translated by Google) Animals are not things that are sold when there is no more space, they are beings that have suffered confinement all their lives and deserve to live in freedom.

  • 2/5 Nerea F. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very sad, almost the entire park under construction, the most impressive animals were not seen. Even if it's only 5 euros a ticket, you don't see much. I hate snakes but in this zoo it was the only thing worth it. You got to some interesting place and wing! reforming or under maintenance or something. (Original) Muy triste, casi todo el parque en obras, los animales más impresionantes no se veian. Aun que solo sean 5 euros la entrada no ves mucho.

  • 4/5 Eduardo Rodríguez M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) To begin with, it must be made clear that it does not have the best habitats for animals. No zoo has them. However, in recent years it has made a great effort to improve the quality of life of its animals, most of which are recovered and not suitable for reintroduction into the wild. Species outreach and protection efforts have also greatly improved. As a nature lover, I have to admit that you can see the effort in what they do and as a father of two young children, I assure you that it is a place that children love. Although it is not very large, the price of the ticket is also tight, making it a very good option for a lazy afternoon. (Original) Para empezar hay que dejar claro que no tiene los mejores hábitats para los animales. Ningún zoo los tiene. Sin embargo en los últimos años ha hecho un gran esfuerzo por mejorar la calidad de vida de sus animales, la mayoría de los cuales son recuperados y no aptos para reintroducción en la naturaleza. La labor de divulgación y protección de especies también ha mejorado mucho. Como amante de la naturaleza he de admitir que se nota el esfuerzo en lo que hacen y como padre de dos niños pequeños os aseguro que es un lugar que les encanta a los niños. Aunque no tiene un tamaño muy grande el precio de la entrada también es ajustado, por lo que es muy buena opción para una tarde de ocio.

    (Translated by Google) It is very neglected, and the typical sun I saw three people working the one in the ticket office, the maintenance one and another girl who fed the animals, for a Zoo with those size imagine. It is unfortunate to have animals in captivity and the facilities with much deterioration. I did not like it at all I traveled 90 kilometers to meet him and it was not a pleasant experience (Original) Esta muy descuidado, y lo típico sol vi tres personas trabajando la que esta en la boleteria, la de mantenimiento y otra chica que alimentaba los animales, para un Zoo con esas tamaño imagínense. Es lamentable el tener animales en cautiverio y las instalaciones con mucho deterioro. No me gusto para nada recorrí 90 kilómetros para conocerlo y no fue una grata experiencia

    (Translated by Google) The price is not too much but the problem is that many of the areas have the sign that they are in process and in the end you see only half between that problem and that many animals are hidden, you are a bit disappointed. But if you want to have a different time it is worth it. (Original) El precio no es demasiado pero el problema es que muchas de las zonas tienen el cartel de que están en proceso y al final ves solamente la mitad entre ese problema y que muchos animales están escondidos te llevas un poco de decepción. Pero si lo que quieres es pasar un rato diferente vale la pena.
