💬 What Visitors Say

💡Don't miss the bird exhibits, especially the flamingos, which visitors consistently highlight as a favorite and truly beautiful part of the Amazonia experience.
💬Plan to visit the main Amazonia exhibit hall during your trip, though be aware it's not the zoo's top priority—some aquarium glass shows wear and cloudiness that can obstruct views of animals.
💬Take advantage of free admission to Amazonia, making it an excellent low-cost option for observing rare animals not commonly seen elsewhere.
💡Avoid the on-site dining option, which offers poor value and inadequate facilities—bring your own food or eat elsewhere, especially if considering the expensive restaurant.
