Upon my return from a winter trip to Lisbon, Portugal, I have decided to share with you my experience. The reason I choose to dedicate my first post to the Lisbon Zoo is that I was AMAZED with how well they made the areas for animals and how rich the diversity of species is.
Keep reading if you are interested in learning more about it!
Firstly, I am an animal lover, and I usually feel sad for the animals that are kept in small areas just for people's entertainment. Lisbon Zoo is so well maintained and organized that I couldn't stop myself from saying "ooh look how they made their environment? That's beautiful! They have so much space." You could see that an area for a specific animal was made in a way that portraits their natural habitat. With more or less trees, green areas, sand, rocks, water....
Here are some of the animal envionments:
Gorillas
Indian Rhino
xy monkeys (I can't remember which type they were)
Lions
Short info about the Zoo:
- more than 2000 animals and 300 species,
- close to the Lisbon center, distance of only a few Metro stations from the main square (Jardim Zoologico station)
- have daily dolphin and sea lion shows
- benches in front of every area with animals
- Zoo's Shop, Photo Shop, Visitor Guest Service, First aid, etc.
- Children's Farm area with domestic animals
- All shows and attractions are included in the entry ticket (except the Zoo Train)
- Works from 10 am till 6/8 pm (summer/winter working time)
The Zoo is worth every penny in the winter, which makes me wonder just how breathtaking it is during the spring or summer months.
So if you ever find yourself wondering if it is worth paying a visit, I hope you will remember this post and take a couple of hours during your visit to see it. Thank you Lisbon for the experience!
I hope you will enjoy these stunning creatures:
