On a recent trip to Hammamet we booked to visit Friguia Park through Tui. With transfers via coach it cost 90dinars per adult and 45dinar per child. We spent 3 hours here which was plenty as the zoo is not huge and the time was enough to have seen everything there. Lions, lion cubs, hyenas, tortoises, elephants, a zebra, fennec foxes, monkeys of various sorts, porcupines, reindeer, antelopes, and more in spacious enclosures and all look well cared for. Contrary to previous reviews the staff do NOT hassle you for tips by forcing food into your hands. There was a member of staff at the buffalo handing people leaves but walking away once they did and the same at the reindeers. Politely offering the chance to feed them without asking for money in return. There is a small shop on site offering various gifts which are extremely cheap compared to shops elsewhere. Food and drink is again cheaply priced. 1.5l bottles of water for 2 dinar (53p) and same for most snacks between 2-5dinar. Don't miss the sealion show, it's roughly 15minutes long and entertaining for all. All in all this is a great little excursion, couldn't fault the staff and this park had everything to make a nice day out. 5stars*****

The park itself is open zoo: you can pet feed some of the animals. Great for the kids and adults. There is a fish spa here for 10 dinas you get 15 mins and the dishes will remove dead skin from your feet. The tiger is massive compared to the ones in the UK and very beautiful. The cheapest place for drinks is the restaurant. They sell drinks at the entrance as u come In and the guy charges you 3 dinas for a can of pop but you can get a glass bottle for 1.50 in the restaurant. The restaurant is very limited but to be fair your not really going to sit down and have a meal. Camel ride is 3 dinas so very cheap. There is a monkey that is worth while seeing and is hilarious. At 10 there is a seal show however the sign says seals and there was only on seal, which was good but would of been better with more seals. Overall I would recommend the park 😊 but would suggest improvements In the toilets, consistently charging the sale prices throughout the park and a map or a guide given upon arrival.

It was an OK place. Saw a few animals. For extra money you could take pictures with some of them (depending on the animal, for example giraffe was 10 dinars, lemurs 10 dinars aswell, turtles 2 dinars) there were also kangaroos that you could take pictures with. The seal show was alright, but nothing too special. I would take an umbrella with me if I went there again because the sun really fries you there. The national dance show was the best part of it, but it is not always included with excursions. My excursion did have it and it was worth it, very nice dancing. I have to also add that there were no exit signs so we didn't really know for how much more we have to walk for. Ended up asking the workers for the exit and had to walk fast because of the limited excursion time and we didn't want to get lost.

Really nice zoo with lots of animals to see, plenty of food and drink kiosks at reasonable prices as were souvenir stalls. The Sea lion show was entertaining, and staff were knowledgeable and genuinely cared for the animals they tended to. We found 2 hours to be a good amount of time to get round and see all the animals, we were part of a coach trip concession from our hotel so we had a 2 hour time limit. The white lions and tigers are really stunning. Would have given 5 stars, but some staff tried to put feed into the childrens hands for a tip or cost so I'd warn against taking anything as it's never for free. That being said, I happily paid 10 dinar per child for amazing photographs and feeding experiences with the giraffes!

Came to this zoo today with my 3 kids (3-7yrs) and 2 sisters and we had an absolute blast. So much to see and do. Kids outdoor parks/play area, food restaurants, shops, so many animals. Sea lion show that was amazing, camel rides, pony rides and much more! To top it all off the most lovliest man named Ameen (I’ve attached a picture) who does customised calligraphy in a stall at the park did us a couple souvenirs. Absolute beautiful work and is so so cheap! At this point we are day 7 into our holiday in Tunisia and he is by far the cheapest we have come across and his work is 100% beautiful. Please do buy something when you see him. Overall fantastic day out would deffo come again.
