Worth a visit if time is not an issue.

3.00Most tourists will catch a taxi to the site, if not part of a tour. 1500xpf from Andrew-Vata taxi fare approximately. Good entry cost concessions for seniors. The tropical trees are plentiful, providing lots of shady walking. The park is quite large and has hills, so bring your walking shoes and hat. Most tracks are road surfaced and there are hills. The lakes have plenty of fish and several eels, especially when fed bread pieces by local children. We saw plenty of caged large birds, which did not enthuse us. Window viewing for the reptiles we saw. Butterflies aplenty. Our trip was on 1 April and it was warm, so bring water. The person on reception was great.
Excellent park; poor shoreside organisation by Lyvai

3.00Zoological park was excellent (we could have spent more time there) but the shoreside organisation by Lyvai was poor and Viator's description of what would happen did'nt match.
Enjoyed a nice relaxing morning here.

4.00Part of an excursion activity on my cruise. Loved seeing peacocks everywhere, lots of parrots, some spider monkeys and the Ragù (the national bird if I heard correctly). Nice way to be outside whilst driving around - worth a visit and if I had more time I’d make a day of it.
Disappointed.

2.00Mainly birds and most not indigenous. Not up to modern ZOO standards and veey basic. Difficult to navigate. Not worth the money.
Nice place for a quiet...

5.00Nice place for a quiet walk. Map provided. Price includes round trip transportation and entry ticket. Much less expensive than cruise ship excursion.
Peaceful, calming and a nice place to relax

5.00A very nice zoo and gardens in really nice order. The operators have done a lot of work to present (mostly birds) fauna and flora in a relaxing atmosphere.
