Fodor's Review:

With a menagerie of 2,000 animals from more than 370 species, the Zoological Garden is always a popular spot. Admission is pricey, but in addition to the usual habitats and enclosures there are a gorilla house, free range-style areas for larger animals, a children's zoo with miniature houses and small animals, a cable-car ride, and twice-daily animal shows (you have your pick of those that feature parrots, dolphins, or reptiles). You can pack a picnic lunch or eat at one of the on-site snack bars and restaurants.

  • Cost: EUR 12.50
  • Open: Late Apr.-Sept., daily 10-8; Oct.-mid-Apr., daily 10-6
  • Metro: Jardim Zoológico or Sete Rios
