Zoológico de Barranquilla — Attraction in Barranquilla

I attended the zoo today and it was a an informative experience and saw animals that I never even heard of however I understand this is a nonprofit but the conditions are not well for small or big animals for example the African elephant, the tiger, alligator enclosure and many others. Even if it is a nonprofit, It shouldn’t mean that the animals should not have their Water bowl empty and food bowl empty at 10 AM when they open at 8 AM… A few of the enclosures for the animals are very small and you can see the small and big animals pacing in distress. A few of the animals for example the ostriches are under veterinarian care however although the sign says they are on medication, these ostriches should be kept apart, under shade, and perhaps bandages to prevent the ostriches from picking at their wounds. You can even see groups of mosquitoes picking at the animals..Although i enjoyed seeing animals I never thought I would see, I in general do not like zoos and this definitely emphasized that I will never visit a zoo again.

I will forever keep these animals in my thoughts and hope as terrible as it sounds that they pass away soon and peacefully because no animal should live like this. I think the people who work here do care about the animals and like I said I understand it is a nonprofit but there Has to be assistance out there and the enclosures should be kept in...

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Barranquilla Zoo, and I must say, it was a delightful experience! While it may be a smaller zoo compared to some larger establishments, the level of care and dedication that the staff provides to the animals is truly commendable. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that the well-being of the animals is the top priority here. The enclosures are clean, well-maintained, and designed to mimic the animals’ natural habitats as closely as possible. A special shoutout to Christian O, who went above and beyond to share information about the hard work that the Zoo BAQ Foundation does for the welfare of the animals and birds at the zoo, as well as for conservation efforts throughout Colombia. His passion and enthusiasm are infectious, making the experience even more enriching. I encourage everyone to visit the Barranquilla Zoo. Not only will you get to see some incredible animals, but you’ll also support a team that genuinely cares about their well-being and is dedicated to educating the public about wildlife conservation. Your visit will make...

My wife and I went to the zoo on humid day, and we really enjoyed it. I would highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't gone and is just looking for something to do during the day. For 15.000 COP it's a really good deal and fun day. To see the whole zoo it probably took us about an hour and a half, but if you went slower you could easily make it last 2 hours; depends on how much you like zoos.

I do have a few complaints, some of the animals looked sad in their inclosures, especially the tiger, my wife loved him but I was a little disgusted at how small his space was. Also while we were there a lot of the reptile cages were empty, but in my opinion there's only so many times you can look at a lizard or snake so that didn't really bother me.

Overall for the price I think it's a good deal and I...
