Amazing place. I loved every thing here and highly encourage people to buy the food to give the animals - they take it from your hand very gently and it's so cool. Also if you can do it, a once in a lifetime experience is to hold the baby animals at the end of the tour. I cannot stop thinking about how incredibly cool that was. It truly was the highlight of my trip.

Loved going to the zoo...We went our first trip and then this trip we went twice, Love being able to feed the animals, Loved walking thru the Village. Took the bus from Vallarta for 7 pesos.. (:

After 8 visits to Puerto Vallarta, we took our first adventure to the zoo. What an interesting day we had seeing and feeding the many animals. This zoo is much different than those we have been to in the United States. You have thw opportunity to get up close and actually feed some of the animals. Feeding an ostrich, girrafe and monkeys was fun. A slow and leisurely stroll thru the park was fun. we will definately do again in future visits. You should spend the few extra peseos and buy the food bag.

We went to the Vallarta Zoo and had a fantastic time. The experience is very different from zoos in the US -- you can get up close and feed nearly any animal in the zoo and see them much closer and in a much more natural habitat than other zoos.

We also purchased the package to hold the baby lions, tigers, and monkeys and thought that was a fantastic experience and made for some great photos.

Overall the zoo was very clean, the animals all seemed well fed and happy, and we were impressed with the quality of the zoo. The workers seemed to genuinely care about the animals and were also very knowledgeable about the animals.
