It’s great that the Colombian government decided to take a place with such dark history and turned it around to entertain visitors and protect wild life. The Zoo is huge and it still has many original animals from the Pablo Escobar era. Sadly the “Zoo Park” is turning into a water park. I’m guessing it’s more profitable that way, but it’s not how a Zoo should look and feel like. That area of Colombia is very hot and humid, so make sure you bring water, sunscreen and comfortable clothes. Also, it’s a huge park, so you’ll need a car or motorcycle to move around. I give it Four stars because, although the park is good and the animals are well kept, the food is too expensive and it’s not even that good. Also, I don’t agree with the idea of turning it into a water park. Instead they should be looking into solutions to fix the hippopotamus issue the park is having right now. The wild hippos are attacking nearby farms and destroying their plantations.

I was brought to this area because of the Hippos that live wild in the area. It was neat to see Vanessa, the hippo, up close and even feed her. However, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. She was alone in her enclosure, I wish they would put her in the nearby lake with the others. With so many living wild in the nearby Magdalena River, what's one more? As for the other animals, some were in good condition others weren't. You can see what I mean below with the ostrich's eye. I'm no hippo expert either, but it did look like Vanessa was sad.. but maybe that's how they always look, I'm unsure. The waterpark is neat and if you're into that sort of thing definitely go. My girlfriend and I went twice whilst in Doradal. It is marketed toward families and children, but nonetheless we had a great time at the water park. The park is priced how you would expect any other zoo, safari, or event, etc. Be aware that you will need to pay extra to take a Motocarro through the Safari since it is too big to walk and see the animals. Which is a plus, many animals did have a lot of space, but others didn't. I believe our motocarro that took us around the park cost us about 100.000COP. Which was a bit expensive, but just know you can negotiate a bit too. I hope the park continues to improve the animals' conditions and educate the public about wildlife conservation. I recommend finding a way to see the hippos in the wild if you can. While it's sad how they got here and they are the largest invasive species, they are fascinating to see. I've attached a few pictures from that trip. Boating down the river you see SO MUCH more than just hippos. We spotted caimans, birds, and monkeys all in their wild habitat which was just amazing.

I have never seen more big cats in a single place like here. You can feel like you are in the african savannah. A theme park that has everything in place (hotels & restaurants).

Nothing out of this world. The food is too expensive and the service is not so good.

This place is good for children and for adults. The water park is great specially because is usually very hot in the area and you can go in there and get cool down. If you like birds this is a place you must check out.

It's quite a nice place to go with the family with out doubt. But, it is like any other zoo that you can find near to your city. Personally it's more like a pool place were you can go with the kids and have a good time with theme. If you want to go and know a little bit more of the story of Pablo Escobar and all the things of the Cartel de Medellin it is not the place. It is really recommended if you want to go with your sons or nefius or cousins, etc. The good thing is that the animals have really big environments so they can feel a little bit better if you compare the space with the typical zoos that has the animals in little cages.

Excelente part! To big to visit only for a day, too many options of pools, zoo, museum, etc. Great option for family trip.
