Even if there are a lot of bad comments about the Zoo, it didn't stop me from going there on my own. I can only count on my fingers the number of visitors today. I was impressed on other animals and at the same time curious of what they are doing. The city government and private donors are supporting the... More

We took two children, even they were appalled by the conditions the animals were kept in. Not many animals and really hard to get a taxi back to hotel.

This zoo is in desperate need of an upgrade. Money either private or public is needed to get this zoo on the road to health. You may find touring this site inappropriate for the kids.

The Cebu Council should close this hell hole. The condition of most of the animals is shocking. You would have to see it to believe it. Animals kept like this in western countries would be attracting prison terms for their owners.Just close it down. The staff are uneducated obviously no training and a complete lack of empathy with their prisoners.... More

After traveling around the world, you get use to seeing nice Zoo's. So far, no where in the Philippines have I seen what I would consider to be a nice zoo. But it was still nice to do something out of the ordinary for a change.

i felt very sorry for the starved animals and state of negligence they were. Most of the animals were apparently sick of something. Not something i could recommend to animal lovers

It's now the fourth time in some years that we visit the Cebu Zoo. It is still horrible, and it seems that there is no change coming up at all. The management of this institution lacks financial means, so that the basic care for their 'prisoners' is below any level. The Zoo has not enough staff to do what is... More
