The Clark Safari and Adventure Park was a nice place to spend an early morning with a 3-year old and a 14-year old. From the gravel parking space, you walk to the front building, which contains food kiosks, the ticketing booth, and some picture opportunities with plastic animals affixed to benches. Once you buy your tickets and before you enter the park, a park attendant will approach you to take your photos in front of the huge mural you see in the center dome of the front building--while the professional photos must be purchased from the Park, the attendant also offered to take photos of us using our cell phones, so there is a free alternative to this photo. Going inside, there are directions of attractions available on the left. We visited most. The reason I say most, and a huge thing to note, is that the Clark Safari and Adventure Park is not yet completed. Please note the date of this review. The plants (newer planted trees and vines on trellises) are not at stages where they can provide shade. There was an attraction that was still being completed (cold-weather animals perhaps? The whale ribcage replica being built that led to farm animals, so I don't think that part of the park is fully realized yet). My favorite parts: - the photo opportunities were plenty--both of the staged and candid kind - the existing animal and their respective enclosures seemed well-cared for - the Park actually took on horses that were abandoned from the Taal volcano explosions that took place last year. - For a small fee, you can purchase feed from the beverage vendor to feed the ostrich. - the Park is PWD and elderly-friendly--there are lots of ramps to be found everywhere. My least favorite part: - it is hot. Partly due to the lack of shade, partly due to the time of year. Things to bring: - hats - sunscreen - bugspray - small handtowels, handkerchiefs, or bandannas to deal with the sweat. Helpful tips: - we went at opening and had to leave by 10 am. The heat was too much. Visiting time is probably optimal early morning or late afternoon/early evening. - if you are looking for snacks, the Park has concessionaires at the front building, but if you are looking for a more substantial meal, save it for elsewhere. Unless the restaurant/cafe (?) they are building inside has finally opened.

Came here about a month ago. The entrance fee for adults is P499, but it’s more like P499+. They offer photo ops inside the area for certain animals, e.g. tiger cub(s) and birds, as well as a feeding area for the horses, goats, etc. Be prepared to walk A LOT as the zoo is very big. Bring enough water, especially in the morning, wear sunscreen, and perhaps bring an umbrella too. They do have stalls that offer some snacks and drinks, although it’s outside the area already. Can’t remember if there are any inside the area. There is a wide variety of animals, ranging from turtles to goats to ponies/horses to wild cats to wolves to birds to deers. Although when I went there, I couldn’t see half of the animals they had, as they were hidden or sleeping. When visiting the feeding area, I noticed that the ponies were only given pellets to eat. When they were done eating, they still kept munching in their food container, despite them finishing the pellets already. This led me to sympathize with them, and so we decided to buy food (leaves and pellets) for them, which cost I believe P100. This does make me question the zoo’s integrity, and it makes me fall into a very tricky philosophical dilemma. They probably underfeed the animals intentionally, so that tourists, like me, can buy food and feed the animals themselves, and it’s working. But should we, as tourists, stop buying food to feed the animals, so that they can feed the animals more decently? Or will that just make the staff underfeed them even more? This goes the same for the tiger cub, as every time they bring out the tiger cub, the tiger cub pays no attention to anything else, except for sucking on the bottle, as if it was the snake rising and dancing to a snake charmer playing the flute. To be fair, this is to ensure the safety of the tourists when taking the picture. But is it really right for the staff to seemingly deprive the tiger cub of milk? A counterpoint though is that they do have a section dedicated to the Taal rescue horses, so that’s a bit relieving. Other than these philosophical dilemmas, the park feels much MUCH more Instragrammable to non-animals ironically, and by non-animals, I mean, animal statues, and other scenic structures and backdrops. There is a vast amount of fake animals, to the extent that there is literally a giant deep pit enclosure, dedicated to fake animals. Overall, if you don’t have a problem with the ethics of the park towards their animals, then I’d say it’s worth a visit.

The word that could describe this zoo is "sad". The poor living conditions of the animals held captive in this particular zoo is very concerning. Those poor animals are visibly stressed for being in an enclosure that cannot provide their needs at most, especially when it comes to nutritional needs and temperature maintenance. Most animals are very skinny, you could see their spine through their skin already. Not to mention the poor Arctic Wolf they have which is in deep stress with the heat. I, for myself, felt uncomfortable of the heat. I can't fathom how intense it must be for the wolf. Some of the staff were nice enough to tell us more about the animals and gave us more information about the areas within the zoo, as well as offered to take pictures of us. We were also to visit the gift shop of the zoo but we opted not to since the staff inside were recording themselves dancing during their working hours. The ticket price was around ₱600 for adults and lesser for children. Went there at 10:00 in the morning and there was no wait for the tickets as we were the only ones lined up. These are just a few of the things I observed in the zoo. It's sad that when you think of "Clark", you would imagine grand and well-maintained facilities but the zoo is one of the exceptions. The AI messaging on their Facebook page made an impression but we were disappointed when we got there. I hope these concerns get fixed, not just for the tourism but mostly for the welfare of the animals in the zoo.

I have read a few negative reviews so I will give you my take on the place. Was here with the family today July 2023. The place was fantastic even though we had heavy rain. Firstly yes there are lots of fibreglass animals.. these of course are for the selfies and not to replace the beautiful animals that are here. The wild cats are truly beautiful and dispite what others have said look very healthy and really well looked after. Happy enough to have babies. If you are lucky enough can get to feed. We were lucky enough to feed the 6month old white tiger.. a truly stunning cat.. it was like holding a massive domestic cat.. but never forget these are wild animals. We took the safari ride in a converted Hilux.. a great adventure for the kids and you get the tour guide as well who was really nice and informative. The zoo is still being expanded and you can see new enclosures going in all over the area to expand what's there and to increase for new animal. Animals coming by end 2023 are elephants and giraffe 🦒. New to me to see there was black cockatoo which was very stunning to look at. Overall a very nice day.. and yes there are lots of animals.. maybe try to go on a less hot or rainy day so the animals are out and not sleeping from the heat.

We really had a lot of fun here. The animals are really unique and beautiful, me and my family had a wonderful time exploring. The experience was extremely worth your while. But it upsets me a little to see the animals looking so distressed, although it seems like they're well-fed and taken care of. ANOTHER THING THAT DISAPPOINTED ME IS THE LACK OF SECURITY. MY CAMERA BAG (containing my EOS m50's charger and battery, Brandnew Instax Mini 40 with a set of unopened films and the bag itself) GOT LOST. We tried to retrieve it but unfortunately we weren't given any good news. Turns out there were NO CCTV's at the top part of the zoo where the monkey statues are. It was only a span of 15-20 minutes before we realized it was gone.. we weren't accommodated well as they were about to close already. They just told me that perhaps it got stolen. I NEVER had the chance to look at the other CCTV footage as they're claiming that we won't be able to get it from the one who stole it anyway because they don't keep records of the names of the people who visited and entered the premises. I got really devastated. I guess part of it's my fault too though. Always keep your valuables safe and protected at all times.
