I took a tour of the zoo and used their "train" ride that takes you around. There is also a sky ride -- like a bucket ride for two that takes you around the park. The zoo is very large and quite pleasant. There was not an abundance of animals, one of these, two of those, so will not be... More

The place is very nice, but if you want to know the aquarium, Zafari and skyzoo, you better prepare because it's much travel time. There are a couple of shows of 20 min in the auditorium, which are simple but good for children. In one part of the zoo you can see Huentitan Canyon, it is worth also. The attraction... More

Visited the zoo with 4 adults and 3 children. It took a while to settle on the ticket options, but I recommend the one that includes the tram, safari and aquarium. The unlimited use tram ticket allowed us to move around the grounds quickly without wearing ourselves out (lots of hills). The kids loved the safari tour with up close... More

take the Macrobus out to the Zoo! it is very tourist friendly, and only costs MX$6, and drops you off RIGHT THERE! make sure you walk all the way back behind the giraffes for a spectacular view. bring a picnic lunch as there are many shady spots to sit and enjoy the surroundings. water is OK to bring in, but...

Monkey Land and the Safari were both great. The "train" didn't do much for me but our kids liked it. I think it was $35 or $40 for a full day with a family of 4 so the value was good, too. The food options were limited, but it's a zoo so that's life. Very impressive overall.

I really was surprised at the Guadalajara zoo. They has a great variety of animals and I loved the safari ride where they supplied us food to feed to the giraffes. I would like to visit again when I have time.

This Zoo has many exiting things to do and see! We got a combination pass for a total of about $12 per adult and got to ride the train around the zoo, go on the safari adventure, and go to the aquarium for just that one price!! Everything was great and full of fun. I especially recommend the safari, which... More

What I like most about this zoo, is that it is built near the canyon. When you get tired, you can go to a reasting area and have some picnic with an amazing view on mountains. Take food with you! You can spend there the whole day!
