About Alexandria Zoological Park
Wildlife in free-roaming habitats. Zoo with international-themed habitats for exotic wildlife & tours on a scale-model train.
💬 What Parents Say
- Plan for 2-2.5 hours to see the entire zoo comfortably. The well-shaded pathways make it a comfortable walk, and there's plenty of seating along the trail to rest.
- Don't miss the keeper talks—reviewers consistently praised the zookeepers for giving informative and passionate presentations about specific animals. These interactions significantly enhance the educational experience.
- Bring cash or arrive early to use the on-site ATM, as the entry fee is cash only. This will save you time at the entrance.
- The zoo is perfectly sized for young children and is stroller-friendly with mostly shaded pathways. The train ride is a popular highlight for families with little ones.
- Arrive by 4:30 PM for last entry and consider visiting on a weekday to avoid crowds. The zoo specializes in Central and South American animals, so expect unique exhibits like Andean condors and jaguars rather than typical big cat displays.
