Avilon is a nice zoo, it's definitely bigger and better than Manila Zoo. When we visited, it's not yet completed. There are lots of animals to look at. Kids will surely enjoy Avilon Zoo. But Be prepared to walk around in the heat, specially when you're roaming around in the afternoon, always carry a bottle of water and umbrella for... More

Avilon Zoo for me is a best place for children and kids at heart like me. It has a good number of animals. Although there are some construction in some areas of the zoo and i think they might be additional animals that will be brought in. They have a tour guide but me and my girlfriend did a do... More

I am reviewing the Avilon Zoo at Tiendesitas, Pasig. The whole place had an ark facade. There is limited number of animals but otherwise an okay treat for the young ones. I took my son here on his birthday and he enjoyed feeding farm animals. Not excellent but just okay.

Our family decided to go in this place last January 27, 2013 as a celebration of my son's 3rd birthday. We are composed of 4 adults and 3 kids, we availed of their advance ticket promotion where you can get P100.00 discount per head if you buy ticket prior to your visit in the zoo. So instead of paying P400.00... More

We went there during the Christmas weeks crossing from Marikina and Montalban which is filled with people doing their last minute shopping. Thanks to traffic the journey took around four to five hours hopefully this isn't the case on normal working days. It is located far off the town where most people are and the last few minutes before arriving... More

amazed at the variety of animals, reptiles and birds at this zoo. its quite a distance from the central business district but well worth the trip. the zoo is still in the process of acquiring more animals but what they have now and the care they receive is good enough. recommend going on a holiday or on a sunday to...

This place albeit not so big offers a variety of animals you cannot see in public zoos. a great alternative for children and the rest of the family to visit.

A long bus ride. Then tricycle. Not easy to find. Went mid-week. Arrived early. Very quiet. I like the ethos of the place. They could use more support. I'd like to see less concrete enclosures for some of the animals and an attempt at more natural habitat. Not a wasted trip.

pretty clean but very run down and dated, limited animal selection, saved only by the extensive overhead green canopy typical in the phils, one elephant, four tigers, few other large animals, one "red faced" monkey from japan (probably over recent recall of Civics), one hundred or so red slider turtles, lots of crocs, lots of domestic cats running around. if...
