This 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.

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.

It seems a little dirty. That’s mostly because of all the ducks running around and a lot of the place is not paved. The animals themselves are very well taken care of and they seem much happier than at a normal zoo where they’re always just laying around. They were all very active when we went and interacting with the zoo employees. We fed bears, lions and tigers. Got to take pictures with the lions and tigers. They were very calm but were alert. I highly doubt they were drugged. They raise them from babies and tame them by raising them with dogs. Very neat place. One of a kind experience.

Do not support this place. They drug the animals everyday it’s very sad. ALSO, they charge DOUBLE price for visitors who are not from Argentina. Imagine if a zoo in the United States did that, or anywhere in the world for that matter. It is ridiculous to charge visitors from other countries a separate price. $600 pesos for a little zoo with random cages and junk everywhere! That price is more expensive than the zoo in New York City. Very bad organization.

I was driving about 1 hour from BA and when I saw the entrance my first thought was "no way! It couldn't be true! Probably, I get lost!". It looks horrible from outside, as well as horrible inside. And very expensive. 400AR$ per person (babies from 2yo pay as well). Don't know if predators are drugged for making photos, but it seems to be true. What a pleasure to take a picture with the lion or tiger in a tiny dirty cage? Whats wrong with you, people? Go to the jungle, find a tiger, and make as much photos, as you can. But don't go to the Zoo for it. Especially like Lujan Zoo. Everything is bad here. From animals living conditions to the services. Everything is old and dirty.
If you want to go to the zoo, go to Temaiken. It has much more common with biopark. It is great and beautiful. With cheaper entrance price (in web).

This was the worst zoo I have ever been too. Yes it was fun to pat a Tiger and a lion but every animal that you could pat was 'asleep' when it was obvious that they had been sedated so that people could pat them. To make sure that the visitors got a good picture 'techniques' were used to get the animal to look up, such as throwing water on their faces and dangling meat in front of their mouths but the animals were too comatose and incoherent to even open their own mouths. The habitats of all the animals were disgusting. There were lots of monkeys in a tiny cage, a tiger in a 2m by 2m cage and it was clearly distressed walking in circles. The tiger was also watching as its cubs were being passed around. Most of the habitats were just dirt with wire around them and some wood in them. The zoo has not made any effort to try and make the habitats like the animals natural habitats. I would not recommend this zoo to anyone unless they like going to a zoo with animal cruelty.

An impressive collection of cats all of them in tiny cages, under medication, a very sad spectacle, I can not believe in 2016 there is a "famous" zoo in this condition. Some animals are fed with leftovers from restaurants, food not meant for them ... I strongly recommend not to go !

The zoo is gigantic, but the cages where animals live are incredibly small. They say they "walk" them so they don't get bored inside, but anyway it is horrible to see all the stressed behaviour inside or outside the cage. We went there without knowing the animals are so mistreated, ALL OF THEM!!! sometimes it reminds you a bad and cruel circus where animals just work to make people laugh. They suffer!!! I held a little rabbit and I could count all his bones! he was so thin! And the monkeys look so sad! The tigers, lions, elephants, ALL!!! it was a horrible experience and I encourage PARENTS NOT TO TEACH THEIR CHILDREN ANIMAL ABUSE IS CORRECT!!!

I can not understand how anybody can refer to this as an "amazing experience". I do not understand how this can be legal... No wild animal would tolerate the presence of various humans in such a stressful environment, they must be doped with the most disgusting substances. shame on those who support this disgusting treatment of beautiful, wild and endangered creatures!!!!

Ola, vi recentemente algumas matérias informando que o zoo lujan foi fechado.
É verdade?
Written October 20, 2020
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.

Bom dia Jussara! Eu conheci o Zoo de Lujan, na Argentina, em outubro de 2019. NĂŁo posso lhe precisar o valor do ingresso, em razĂŁo do câmbio, mas certamente, nĂŁo foi nada superior Ă aproximadamente R$ 100,00 (convertendo). Mas dentro do parque, se vocĂŞ quiser ter uma experiĂŞncia com os animais que estĂŁo lá, tambĂ©m se "paga" uma colaboração expontânea, para os tratadores. Na minha opiniĂŁo, foi um passeio inesquessĂvel. Vale a pena!

Vi várias perguntas sobre a possibilidade de entrar nas jaulas ou não. O que determina se podemos ou não entrar nas jaulas?
Written October 3, 2019
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.

Olá! Gostaria de saber se é preciso reservar com antecedência e qual a melhor maneira de conseguir um guia. Obrigado!!

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 Ă© o tratador que vai orientar o que Ă© possĂvel fazer e em que momento. Quanto Ă caixinha, Ă© opcional, mas vi que quem vai com guias tem mais tempo e mais atenção e nesses casos em geral, a caixinha está incluĂda no valor do passeio contratado.
