This is a lovely zoo to visit. The zoo and exhibits are nicely styled and the animals seem to have a decent amount of room to move around. I was here on a Sunday afternoon and there weren't a lot of people, which was great. Lots of animals I've never seen before and learned a lot. Definitely recommend this place, especially if you have kids. Easily accessible by metro too

Visited the zoo on our anniversary in October during our holiday to Portugal. It was a little challenging to find the main entrance at first because there was construction work going on. When we did get in, we were impressed with the look of the site and benefited from a discount with our Lisbon cards. Enjoyed that the zoo wasn’t busy either, so the atmosphere during the day was nice and peaceful. The cable car was a very unique experience - soaring past the scenery and some of the animal enclosures high up in the air. We’d never seen anything like that before and would recommend for people to do this as something exciting & different! The animals were great, we were so lucky to see so many of them up close and had many highlights from our visit. In particular, it was very special to see the giraffes, elephants and big cats at such close range. The dolphin show was amazing, we were in awe throughout! Trainers seemed great and the dolphins appeared to enjoy what they were doing, putting on an incredible display. All of these experiences made our anniversary extra special and we would love to return when in Lisbon again! An improvement I would suggest is the zoo having information by enclosures to identify the individual animals present with names, markings, their backgrounds etc. Would have also liked a greater range of merchandise to purchase in the gift shop. The on-site McDonald’s was also very good - friendly staff, easy ordering and clean!

While I am not entirely sure that Dolphins 🐬 should be performing for humans in the first place the show at the zoo is amazing well worth a watch and they seem to enjoy performing and put on an incredible show. The zoo is well presented and well stocked with a cable car 🚠 traveling around so you can aerial view the animals with No walking if you are lazy . We enjoyed a pleasant stroll around and lunch at on site Mac Donald. It is relatively expensive @€29 per adult however the animals have to be taken care of fed etc so probably justified price.

This was a clean green zoo! There is a huge variety of animals that looked healthy and happy. There was a large number of staff feeding and cleaning pens and lots of maintenance projects under way. $20 euros for seniors! Excellent value and a Metro stop and McDonald’s just outside the main door!

We have been to many zoos at home (UK) and in other countries. This really is one of the best. The enclosures are all of a good size and the animals all look healthy and happy. Lots of information around to explain about the animals and there lives. As with everything in Lisbon there are hills to walk up but this just adds to the interesting views etc that you can get. Kids of ages big and small will love it.

There is a lot to see in the zoo, from big to small animals. Iberian lynx was out, red panda was very close. A lot of different birds to see. Can’t comment on cafe, but drinks machines around the site and ice-cream was fair price. As to the enclosures, I’m not an expert. Some looked a bit small, and birds always seem to deserve more room. If conservation work is being done, the justification is greater. There’s a lot of tree cover if it’s sunny, lots of seats, picnic area.

A very pleasant visit, topped by an amazing display by the Dolphin team, as good as any I’ve seen around the world. Some excellent displays of animals, all seeming to be good health. Animal welfare is clearly high on the agenda, well recommended

There is a lot to see in the zoo, from big to small animals. Snakes to Bird. Sadly we missed the Dolphin shows and the eagle show. The restaurents was not so good, not much on the menu that they actually got.

This zoo is just brilliant. At first, the entrance fee of nearly 30 euros seemed a bit high but we got much more than we had expected - a gorgeous ride in a cable car over the whole zoo, absolutely amazing dolphin show and even a performance with parrots and some more very surprising animals which I don´t want to reveal in order not to spoil the surprise. Seeing some not so common species like white rhinos, orang-utans or koala bears was great. We spent a whole afternoon there and enjoyed every minute of it!

Amazing zoo, we had such a lovely day. Visited with two children aged 7 and 10 and they both loved it. We travelled there from our hotel via metro, which was really easy and the stop is directly outside the zoo. We didn't buy our tickets in advance and it was easy to buy the tickets when we got to the zoo using a machine. Queue was short to get in. They stamp your hand with a UV stamp so you can leave and re-enter, but it comes off easily, so beware. My daughters came off, but they didn't question it as obviously she was with us and we all had stamps. Lots of animals to see and the chair lifts are amazing for fab views of the city and animals. Train was good and not expensive (this was the only attraction you had to pay extra for on top of your tickets). Chair lift was free. McDonalds and Lidl right next to the zoo. Dolphin show was great, we watched it twice. Would really recommend for a great day out.
