I like this Zoo very much. I'm from Cuba and i used to live in a small town named San Antonio de los Banos wich is very close to Havana City where the Zoo is. I used to go there from time to time since i was a kid and i loved it, cause i love animals and nature. Now i live in the US. I wish someday i could visit this place again.

This place is NY Metro Zoo gone tropical. A lot of the concesion stands are deserted and dilapidated.
Animals are however happy and well taken care. Selection of species is decent. The animals's habitad is very old fashioned. Monkeys and felines cages are extremely small. Birds are well represented. Peacoks can still be seen strolling around ...

i liked all the fact that it's a nice quite refuge from the streets of havana. a bit run down, but it's totally worth the value. 2 pesos! it's right across the street from the bus station, which is what made us notice it. the monkeys are adorable, but i felt sorry for them, i wanted to take them home. the setup for the monkey island is real nice, the park swings are very noisy. and enjoyable experience.
