Maia Zoo

We really liked it.. the zoo is very well kept and you can see that the animals are treated good..

This zoo is not huge, but big enough to surprise with its inhabitants. Definitely recommend to visit it.
I want to highlight the local restaurant, that worth your time as well!
As for the auto parking - there are no plenty of spaces, but it is free just in front of the zoo entrance.

Perfect size set up. Small, yet diverse. Clean, kind staff, shady. We were there for 5 hours (!) and weren't bored for one second. With a friend, a 6 year old boy and a 14 year old girl. Loved it. Special thanks to the tiger lady 🥰

Really nice zoo. We spent a couple of hours there with our kids. They were happy and liked all these sea lions, monkeys, birds, zebras and etc. it’s possible to attend a performance with birds inside. Also, they have a nice playing yard for your kids. And it isn’t pricy. We paid 20€.

Maia zoo was amazing. At first we thought it was small, but it is not. Zebras, lions, reptile House, falcon show, sea lion, etc. All there and even a collection of skeletons.
Highly recommended, and an added bonus that it's cheap at €7.50 for an adult.

Really wonderful scenery with amazing animals

Wonderfull zoo..there are 2 shows..first for Sea_lion and other for Birds..
Landscape charmy..and there are some animales first time i had seen in my life..such the white tiger and other small monkeys and birds

So menu animals I thought it was a small zoo 😂 but no it's better than a peting zoo
It's awesome

Greatly surprised about this zoo!

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but this park hosts a good amount of impressive, healthy and happy looking animals such as lions, a white tiger, a brown bear, zebra, different types of primates and a good collection of reptiles and snakes.

The park itself looks understated but the animals look incredibly healthy and well fed.

Low price of admission and not busy at all, even on the weekend. Please mind that we visited on a grey and cloudy Saturday in November. The park is very easily reachable from Porto by 25 minute Metro ride and a short walk.

Recommended when visiting Porto for more than a couple of days.

Please note: zoo staff typically speaks English and likely Spanish too, but the park itself (signs, audio guide) is only available in Portuguese.

I recently visited the zoo with my 2-year-old and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. It was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend it to others. The facilities were top-notch and my child was thoroughly entertained throughout our visit.

Very beautiful place for the family, specially for kids. With plenty of animals in very good conditions and places to eat cheap and to make picnic.

Small with lots of amazing animals

Very organised and the staff is very friendly! We loved it

The experience was great, a small Zoo; however, very nice place, well maintained and clean.

The animals seems to very well care at my poor knowledge because of their friendly behavior and feedings ( what I've observe carefully at my visit).

The tiny skeleton museum they have it's so instructive and cool, so if you have kids these is one of the places inside the zoo you can't missed to check!

Overall my visit was very satisfying and the entrance is a cheap price( cheaper than I thought ).

Worth to go,

YES, I DO RECOMMEND!

Such an amazing time my family and I had. High trees giving us loads of shade on a sunny day and such lovely animals. Kids had so much fun. From entering the great service of the staff and the smiles , well that just continued all day long.

Nice small zoo, good for short visit with kids, friendly staff

Even though it's a small zoo, we enjoyed it a lot. Our daughter had fun and it's appropriated for a family trip.

Absolutely amazing ,the best place in Portugal really liked it, really recommend it,
It's very very cheap and there are not so many poeple out there, there's literally everything there, and the animals are being treated very good !!!!

Great zoo to take children and kids !!! Lots of trees and shades. Very good sea lion show ! Not an exausting walk like Miami Zoo. Very friendly and affordable. Good bar and restaurant in loco. I recommend it to children and adults !!!
