Jardín Zoológico review Rate it
BA's city zoo is one of those interesting but discomfiting attractions that many animal lovers will prefer to shun. Of more general interest are the buildings, constructed between 1888 and 1904, which copy the architecture of the animals' native countries. Of the beasts themselves, the polar bears are glum but stoical, the monkeys are cheeky and permanently horny and a baby giraffe is the latest 'guest' to wow the crowds. There are now night openings.
