jardim zoologico de brasilia

TripAdvisor map misleads to a wrong location. Lost half of the day going there and walking back (few kilometers, no bus station)

free entry however I would have gladly paid entry for the animals to have larger enclosures. needed a little tlc

Just like every other zoo, the big cats are always sleeping :pPrice is pretty much nothing for such a nice visit, family, friends or even solo, for "grounded" people ^^

Get off the beaten path, shed the streets and the bustle of the city and enjoy a commune with nature in the wild. From things that go slither in the dark to the big cats to a variety of beautiful birds, this is a must see. The butterfly house is amazing. The big cats are kept in check through natural barriers while you can get up close to a variety of birds and other creatures, big and small. The price is only R$2 - best entertainment value in Brasilia.

The best zoo in Brazil from the many ones I have visited in this country. The only zoo here where a respectful place is given to the animals. A huge and a great variety of animals to be seen!

we spent 3hrs rooming around all kind of animals and enjoying the nature.a lot of locals work there and take care of the place.clean, nice and relaxing. you must see it if you have your kids with you

This is a different zoo - very roomy, you get to walk quite a lot (which may be unconfortable in July through September, when Brasilia gets extremely dry (humidity can drop to less than 10%), so make sure you bring a lot of water with you. They have lots of animals, which seem to be well kept. They could improve their restrooms and food/beverage kiosks, but otherwise it's pretty good. Ah, and the ticket is a bargain - last time I was there it costed R$2 (less than US$1).

Great area, well preserved and clean. Good tour for families. Lots of species from West- Central Region of Brazil.

The Brasilia Zoo is kind of nice, even featuring few animals compared to other zoos in big Brazilian cities, like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. You can catch a glimpse of endangered species, like the mico-leão-dourado and mico-leão-da-cara-dourada, and enjoy spaces like the butterfly vivarium. Sure the country's capital could have a bigger, better zoo, but it is a moderately fun visit. Low points are the lack of information or guides - except for school groups - and the horrible state of its pathways. People with disability will have a hard time walking around. The same goes to people with babies in strollers. Actually the place is designed to be visited hopping on and off your private car - which is anachronic if nothing else.

I kind of feel bad for the animals since they seemed so dry when I visited. The elephant´s skin was dry and not many animals to see

I enjoy going to the zoo with my daughter, though I haven't been in over 6 months. It´s really quite wide-spread and very nice for extended walks. Animal variety is quite good and it´s clearly noticeable, by various animal births, that many of the animals like to live here and that the team is very dedicated to the wildlife. I actually think it's a must-see for families with children who come to Brasília.But I unfortunately cannot give it a higher mark, though I admit the administration has been working on improvements to the exhibits. But, basic infrastructure, like bathrooms, really is close to disgusting. And if one expects the nice landscaping and rich information of zoos like the one in New Orleans, which is one I am used to when I travel to the US, or even Central Park Zoo in NYC or the zoo in Chicago, then one will be thoroughly disappointed.Perhaps I've been unfair in my score, I wish great success to the Zoo, but I know in Brazil things can be done better - for example, the wonderful Bird Park by Iguçu Falls. If a touch of US zookeeping were given to this one, it would perhaps become one of the top zoos in the world - it has that potential.

Not the best zoo to visit. Small and limited.There are more interesting options in Brasilia.

When it comes to animals they have all the standard animals. I came there with bus and wanted to see it on foot which is a fun experience since the zoo is made like a "drive-in" kind of zoo. But you can see it on foot.

Passeio para fazer em família, tem uma variedade enorme de animais,o preço da entrada é bem acessível,quem quiser economizar leve um lanche e faça um pic nic.

O zoo de Brasília é ótimo!! Bem grande, com muitos animais interessantes para conhecer. Tem muita área verde, rende lindas fotos!
