There are lots of cool animals. The rides are cheap. The train is definitely worth it! -We went on a Saturday morning, arrived about 10am. There were plenty of people there, but it never felt crowded. -We rode the train first, which was great because you get to quickly see everything, and then you can go back and see what you want, on foot, at your own pace. -If you like zebras, giraffes, monkeys, tigers, gorillas, and hippos, you're going to love this zoo! -There is a public parking place about half a block away. Highly, highly recommended!!

This is a great place for kids, because there are places for kids to play (like playgrounds), snacks and vendors, restrooms, and a train to take you through the park. The train ride was a relaxing ride, and a nice way to see the layout of the park. The train was only 1 MX peso. We enjoyed walking around and seeing the sights. There is plenty of shade, which is good as Merida can be quite hot. The animal exhibits were interesting and well kept. The larger animals definitely needed more space, but the animals seemed well cared for overall.
