Surely, many of us have visited zoos in different parts of the world, and maybe some have the luck of having one in their city. We all recognize the signs that prohibit feeding the animals, it's a standard message in most facilities. However, have you ever been to a zoo where they allow you to feed the animals? I bet none of you have visited one where they actually encourage you to do it!
In Vallarta Zoo AC, this experience is possible, although, of course, with specific foods you receive when you pay your admission. So forget about feeding them Doritos or chocolate! In certain cases, you might even be able to get close enough to pet the animals, always under the supervision of trained staff.
In addition to this unique interaction, the Puerto Vallarta Zoo offers a visually stunning experience. Located amidst the jungle and the mountains of Mismaloya, the zoo has paved, vibrant, and colorful trails that take you through the different areas dedicated to various species of animals, birds, reptiles, and more. The shade provided by the lush vegetation is a blessing, especially on hot days and past noon.
The Vallarta Zoo is located in the valley of the village of Mismaloya, within an exotic and lush tropical jungle. The village is situated between the Mismaloya river and the majestic mountains, providing a perfect setting for an entertaining, educational, and memorable family outing.
To get there, take the federal highway 200 towards Barra de Navidad, south of the romantic zone of Puerto Vallarta, for about 25 minutes. Once you reach the Barceló Hotel, you will see a road that enters the village from the other side of the street. Follow the main street and the river on your right, and you will arrive at the zoo without any problems. Come and live a unique experience of connection with nature at Vallarta Zoo AC!
