There were an amazing amount of different species of animals here, animals I'd never even heard of, and seeing the Giant Panda was really special. Other people have said that the conditions the animals are in are poor, and I tend to agree. While the animals were not in poor condition, many of them were in cages and enclosures much... More

If you want to see Lions, Tigers, Bears, one Panda, yes ONE lonely Panda, Monkeys, Gorilla's all cramped into small cages and small compounds whilst the people roam free in the gardens....then this is also for you.

The polar bears, penguins were on my list but the whole place was very relaxing to walk around, the variety of animals is good but just to... More

I was pleasantly surprised to see how many different animals and exhibits that were available to see.

The Zoo was by far the better attraction due to its size and quantity of animals. However the... More

A great zoo with so many exotic creatures personal favourites being the hippos which you rarely see in captivity amazing to get so close to these animals. The polar bears and the giant panda were also great animals to see really enjoyed the trip to this massive zoo. More
