This place is amazing. I'm not sure I'd really consider this a zoo since the animals are contained in a real rain forest setting. For the short time we spent there, we saw a crocodile, monkeys, mountain lions, and many birds. There were also peacocks...More

This is like no other zoo I've ever been too. It is a preservation of animals indigenous to Costa Rica. There are large iguanas and peacocks roaming freely around the entire grounds. There are several birds, turtle and monkey exhibits with a couple large cat...More
