the zoo has many animal. sadly to see that the animal are poorly taken cared. some are in terrible condition.

Go to this zoo expecting to see something of Western Tourist attraction standard and you will be bitterly disappointed. This is a big zoo but there seems to be absolutely nothing invested in maintenance or housekeeping. There seemed to be rubbish everywhere. This is a shame as there is very little else to see or do in Surabaya. The 'aquarium'... More

everytime i go here i cry seeing most of the animal really in quite bad shape (READ : so thin)... they are suppose to be able to enjoy the environment but i dont think so since the maintenance were handled poorly.... too bad... it makes me really sad for the animal

the beautiful animals, places, plants, were invisible to see.... there are a lot of animals that need to protect.

It's one of the biggest Zoo in SOuth East Asia, but many issues of bad maintenance and low care for the animal, this could see from example of Pelican cage, where I saw hundreds of them put in one cage and the smell was very fishy. There also many spots have very low maintenance. Some attractions are not available anymore.... More

a lot of animals died and the bear is sick. They're not treated properly. The government must have do something about this zoo

Not so well maintained and there is fighting among the staff, resulting in many problems. Go if you have time, otherwise there are other things to do.

When I was a kid, this place is my favorite destination in Surabaya. However, my last visit in 2002 and 2009, zoo's condition was worsening. The stench, dirty environment and many of the animals died. Hopefully this place can be better handled.

this place need more attention from the management, too dirty and need more attraction event. It will be better if they could provide more clean restaurant.
