I really like this place. The route is long, and there are plenty of places to stop and rest. Unfortunately, we visited while the zoo was undergoing renovations, and most of the water fountains weren’t working. It would also be nice if the glass in the animal enclosures were cleaned or polished, as it was very dirty and made it quite difficult to take photos of the animals. Adding vending machines and coffee machines would also be a great improvement. That said, my child really enjoyed the visit. It’s a great place to observe animals.

This zoo is on the mountain side, there are some quite serious hills to climb at times. So be prepared for that. I suggest buying tickets through some coupon site like groo (groupon). I like this zoo because I've known it since my childhood. There are many animals. The variety of animals is changing from time to time. There is a nice place with snacks and ice creams to take a break. There is a small museum of prehistoric man. I give it a 4 because the cages of the animals are often small. And some of them are alone without partners. Also last time I went (january 2023) there were some places under construction.

The variety of animals was nice and the info on them. However, the living quality is poor and the scenery is less than wonderful. More than half of the opportunities to interact with animals were closed. The price to get in was considering their limitations though so it is not over priced.

Great zoo for visiting with children. Great alternative if you do not want to travel to the country's center. Not so big but not small at the same time. There is a park and playground for children close to the zoo entrance. Cons there is no good parking close to the zoo. At least I did not find it.

Nice zoo. Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon! They've got lots of exotic animals that I have rarely seen in other zoos here in Israel.
