    Great place for family picnic, especially for getting familiar with some animals at the zoo

    Many a people long to visit and explore the diversity that a typical zoological garden will offer; regrettably, Port Harcourt Zoo is far less from a centre of curiosity, learning, beauty and relaxation. No one can actually commune with and appreciate nature in its entirety with a visit to Port Harcourt Zoo. Government and whatever body that partners with her should wake up to their responsibilities.

    Not too bad but could be better managed. More animals needed in the enclosures. I guess funding is a major challenge.

    It was fine. I think it was empty. I expected alot of animals there. I liked the natural environment but thought the place is underutilised. My suggestion is that we get more animals, provide spots like suya spots, bole and barbeque spots and maybe small chops,snacks and drinks

    Good place to take the kids for a cheap and educative treat. The animals are not in fantastic conditions but they are fairly OK. The environment is nice as there are lots of trees for shade. A lot of empty cages abound as well but you still get to see lions, ostriches, crocodiles, monkeys and chimpanzees. There are birds of prey and some exotic varieties. If you are brave enough, you can peer in and take a look at the resident python too. Beware to keep your kids within eyesight to avoid the horse riders trampling them

  • K
    Korma Mene
    Poorly maintained zoo. Used to be a major tourist attraction centre in time past but now a shadow of its self. However, u could still get one or two pale looking animals there. The place boast of others facilities like open natural air hangout joints and space for mini concerts with commercial parking spaces.
  • A
    Adeyemi Adeoye
    The Animals in there are hungry and are very few. The place is obviously abandoned as the government believe in oil exploration and not tourism.

    Not a cool place. Very dirty. Very few starved animals. Monkey....birds...not what you expect in a zoo. The place is dilapidated greatly. In my view should be privatized
  • O

    More handling of the animals, probably due to inadequate funding.

    Port Harcourt Zoo (also known as PH Zoo) is a state owned zoological park in where family, students, private individuals, tourists and animal-lovers frequent to watch animals in their natural habitat. Safety measures are all in place to safeguard visitors to park. There are many variety of animal wildlife present here. It is also a very beautiful place to connect with nature.

    A place to be ti reconnect with nature

    Sun Sotonye
    The abattoir popularly called Slaughter shares a large chunk of that axis with the Zoo. So, you can either use the abattoir as a landmark or you simply ask for the zoo. There are lots of creatures: terrestrial and arboreal. It is a one-stop-shop for these habitats: the savanna, the rain forest, a grassland and aqua. Lions, ostriches, snakes, turtle, tortoise, monkeys, apes, and the entrance fee is a token. Security is also guaranteed. Give it a shot.
