- Oleksandr DanylenkoBuenos Aires, Argentina296 contributionsUniqueThis is a very special place. Please note, it’s a short drive outside of the city and the other are purely ground. Unique experience in many ways. Argentinians get charged less, but remember, foreigners don’t pay 21% taxes when traveling within the country, so I would stop complaining.Traveled as a coupleWritten February 13, 2020
- Getaway8254917 contributionsBucket list experience! GO!!I visited Lujan Zoo in 2016. I had a wonderful time! Don't believe posts that tell you animals are drugged. They are not! I found it to be a safe, well managed experience of a lifetime to be up close and personal with the lions and tigers. Especially my walk with Alan the lion! Do not hesitate to go.Traveled soloWritten February 21, 2022
- audrey5956Sains du Nord, France1 contributionMagnifiqueNous avons pu approcher plusieurs animaux : tigres, lions, éléphants, ours, perroquets, toucans etc. C'était absolument magnifique !!! Nous avons pu nourrir des ours et des perroquets, caresser des tigres... Pour ceux qui dénoncent ce zoo : je n'ai pas remarqué de comportement troublant de la part des animaux, aucun signe de maltraitance, les animaux n'ont pas l'air affamé. Oui ils sont tout sage, oui ils passent leur temps à dormir. Mais que voulez-vous qu'ils fassent? Ils sont la plupart du temps nés en captivité, ils ne savent pas ce qu'est courir... je préfère des animaux dans un zoo que dans un cirque pour amuser la galerie. Maintenant on ne touche pas un animal comme on veut, nous avons du respecter des consignes de sécurité et c'est tout à fait normal. Ça nous apprend aussi à respecter l'animal. Je recommande +++Traveled with friendsWritten December 11, 2014

Animals are drugged. All of them, it’s horrible. It needs to close permanently. I cannot believe that it’s still open

It was not one of the best experiences in Buenos Aires. To tell you, it's rather embarrassing to see sleeping animals so humans can take pictures. Because we have been curious to see such a place, ethically and sentimentally we are not comfortable with such a situation. Some animals in small cages, with no room to move perfectly and fully. Very sad to see animals like lions, lionesses, tigers, baby tigers, even elephants with chains or collars tied to the wall or sleeping on tables. We have not had the courage to feed ourselves on the spot.

Non Argentinians get charged triple to enter. Bad place in all ways. It should be closed down permanently.

This place should be closed down.
Animals are drugged in order for tourists to ride them. Since when it is ok to sit on a lion? If you love animals please dknt go there!

Not the cleanest and honestly stinks at a few spots. But it is a (private) zoo, so go with realistic expectations. Having said, the place provides decent animal interactions, especially with the big cats. They had cages with tiger/lion cubs and dogs, with the latter acting alpha.(amazed the heck outa me lol)
Tips:
1. Zoo Lujan opens at 9am. Get there early to beat the crowd.
2.If visiting from BA and don't have a rental car, fabe bus is a good option Costs about AR $150($9) each way and starts near Obelisco/Cerrito and Sarmiento

Ola, vi recentemente algumas matérias informando que o zoo lujan foi fechado.
É verdade?

Inacreditável que tem gente querendo visitar esse lugar em 2020. Pelos próprios relatos aqui, passa longe de ser um local agradável. Não ajudem a manter esse local. Que vive da exploração animal. Procurem as fotos do leão de lá, no Instagram. Vamos evoluir. Animais não são objetos. Animais não são pra selfie. Retire este local TripAdvisor.

qual o preço da entrada em Setembro?

Bom dia Jussara! Eu conheci o Zoo de Lujan, na Argentina, em outubro de 2019. Não posso lhe precisar o valor do ingresso, em razão do câmbio, mas certamente, não foi nada superior à aproximadamente R$ 100,00 (convertendo). Mas dentro do parque, se você quiser ter uma experiência com os animais que estão lá, também se "paga" uma colaboração expontânea, para os tratadores. Na minha opinião, foi um passeio inesquessÃvel. Vale a pena!
Aceita real na compra dos ingressos ?

Vi várias perguntas sobre a possibilidade de entrar nas jaulas ou não. O que determina se podemos ou não entrar nas jaulas?

Não existe uma regra ,apenas seguir as orientações dos agentes no ato que é não tocar na cabeça dos animais não tocar no rabo e passar a mão com firmeza nas costas deles.

Ola! Eu e minha filha fomos sozinhas, sem guia. Compramos a Van q leva ao Zoológico ( em um terminal que fica embaixo do Obelisco) Na ida ja informa qual horário quer voltar, e o motorista deixa avisado.
( deixa na porta e busca na porta do zoo) E la dentro é bem simples, tem um mapa na entrada. ( leve um lanche, pq la achamos bem poucas opções de alimentação)

Em geral, pode sim, mas é o tratador que vai orientar o que é possÃvel fazer e em que momento. Quanto à caixinha, é opcional, mas vi que quem vai com guias tem mais tempo e mais atenção e nesses casos em geral, a caixinha está incluÃda no valor do passeio contratado.
