What a depressing experience. If you want to see sad depressed animals this is the place to go. The animals are in very small concrete bare enclosures which are dirty with no consideration for their… Full review by D M

The zoo is always fun for all ages, go early, the zoo closes for entry at 4pm and so most of the animals are put in doors/take naps around 2/3pm. The real draw here are the pandas, with a 70min wait … Full review by Marion F
