The zoo is large enough that you can spend the entire day there. I went with the school I was working at and my boyfriend, and we still hadn't seen everything by the time we had to leave. I'm hoping to go back in a few months. One of the downsides to the zoo is that they sometimes have 2... More

This zoo had more to offer than my hometown so I enjoyed walking around and seeing the wide variety of animals. The zoo is kept up well and the surroundings were really nice. It was easy to get to by taxi from the hotel and a good place to walk around for a few hours. Since I don't speak fluent... More

Well... its a zoo. You can enjoy the walk with the family around the area looking at different species. It is next to the airport, ideal place to spend a couple of hours if you have children.

The wide variety of animals seemed to be well taken care of. The Zoo was clean and spacious, there was no prevalent odors.

The open air cages provide a fun ambiance - lots of variety in animals, safe, clean, interactive, inexpensive. You really can't go wrong with the zoo, especially if there are kids (or children at heart) involved.

I usually refuse to visit zoos, especially outside of the US, but my wife and I were in the area visiting the archaeological and modern art museums and decided to give it a shot. It's really cheap to get in and, despite the knot you might get in your stomach over the thought of a Guatemalan zoo, it was actually... More

I never thought I would visit a zoo in Guatemala since we had no children with us but we were at a local market nearby and decided to walk across and visit the zoo. To my surprised it was pleasantly clean; the animals seemed healthy and well taken care. We even got to talk to the zoo director and she... More

We had a great day with some very special kids at the zoo. Clean, safe, and modern. Additionally, there is a food court with pizza, Pollo Campero (my personal fave) and Chinese food offerings. There is also an ice cream stand.
