“Dolphin show good but enclosures very small”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed February 5, 2013

This zoo felt very old fashioned. A lot of the animals were in very small enclosures. The lions had decent enough space but most were in very small cages. The monkeys had about a shed for each species. Felt uncomfortable because of this. Also they were promoting white tigers which are not an endangered species but tend to be inbred. They even said in the white tiger information how many are born blind. Most responsible zoos don't promote them as they are not healthy.

“Great in Spring and Autumn to go with children!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

I try to go there with my kids at least once a year ! Its nicer when the weather is mild. We love the dolphin show , is always very exciting! You can visit all the animals or just see the ones you like the most and enjoy the outdoor space. Children always love it!

5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

It is my favorite afternoon with my kids.
Lisbon Zoo is compketly renewed, try the apes, the tigers, the dolphins show and check the feeding timetable for several species.

“It is not a very big Zoo but is clean and pleasent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 12, 2013

Take the tube for "Sete Rios" and go to the zoo. Is a old one but interesting because it has been rebuilt and with new species. If you travel with children they will love it. a bit out the center and you will not find many shopping around.
