Dalian Forest Zoo
Oct 2020 • Solo
Outrageous! Do not pay for this as it is clearly not being spent on the upkeep of this place. This place is a disgrace to all the beautiful wildlife they have there. The living conditions are the worst I've ever seen. I left after 30 minutes. Please see photos.

Panda's
Sep 2019 • Solo
If you want to see panda's, go and enjoy the beauty. This zoo in general is nice. Many other animals kept in acceptable conditions.

Worth the walk even with the crowds
Oct 2019
We visited Dalian zoo in October and as in most tourist places, it was very busy, but the area is big enough to accomodate many people. The animals are well looked after in good cages but the walking distance between some of the animals is quite far so wear good walking shoes. There are beautiful wooden decks above most of the animal attractions and these provide good viewing spots and good platfoms for taking photos of the animals. The variety of animals is huge. There is a coach ride through the south end of the park but standing in the que is not worth the time rather walk the route along the road or the wooden decks. The cable ride goes over the mountain and back and is worth the trip as the view is lovely.

Not impressive!
Nov 2018 • Friends
The zoo is not bad for those who never saw animals! Unkempt, poor customer service and waste of money. Nothing impressive that stands out. Accessible & strategically located. Need improvement if they want to keep the business running.

Good experience
Aug 2019 • Friends
I am from America and I really enjoyed this zoo. My favorite animals were the pandas, red pandas, and the tigers. Lots of activities for children and families. The area of land is beautiful as well. However, a few of the areas could be remodeled or better presented. But overall, I think it is well worth the visit if you are ever in Dalian.

Huge zoo seems animals can ignore the human
Jul 2019 • Family
Overall, the first zoo is a huge and enjoyable place, and has lots of animals looks good cared. My family visited the forest zoo in a really really really hot and humid day. So, I’ll definitely visit this zoo again when it’s a cool day. Panda bears are so~ cute! There were alpacas that children can touch and feed the animals, but if you don't buy some food that the zoo selling you cannot even foot in the zone. Of course, they don't accept cash or card except WeChat/Ali pay.

Brilliant Zoo

Well worth a visit if you are in Dalian. Very big site so you will spend all day there. Animals have lots of space and appear very well looked after.

Great way to enjoy the Zoo
Apr 2019 • Friends
The best way to enjoy the zoo is to take your time to go around. The place is huge so make sure you have the right shoes. Also, bring an umbrella or use sunblock as the zoo doesnt have much shade. The pandas are cute but better visit the rest of the animals
