Let me be honest, I went for the views not so much the animals. Such a lovely space, I was able to see q python, hyena, lion, horses, monkey and crocodile. I went there for content creation and my fav was the lake, where you see eye to eye with the famous Aso Rock. Absolutely beautiful.
I was however disappointed at how littered the place was. We went very early and the staff were still cleaning- they could do better on this and how the discard the rubbish particularly plastic.
Otherwise perfect for family and kids. Saw a couple of families setting up for picnics

The place might not be so attractive for many people but the fact that you will get to stand eyeball to eyeball with the most famous Aso rock is worth the trip. the place is also very good for picnicking. The access fee is very cheap and you get to see some animals that you have never seen before

The place sincerely need serious attention from the management. the environment is just perfect and the location is cool with adequate security. But more creativity and maintenance should be put in place

It was such a memorable experiences. We really enjoyed our visit to the place with an experienced tour guard that took us round places.
The place accommodates a lot of fun with beautiful sight. A place to revisit again.

There are no much animals to be seen neither are there much activities going on there. I wonder what happens to the revenues generated from the ticket sales. The few animals there are malnourished. The government agency in-charge should sit up, this is something for the kids and yet it is this badly managed

A run down zoo!!! Though has a serene atmosphere for family picnics. Located within a military barracks in Aso drive Abuja, the State House Clinic is also close by for any medical emergencies. It is secure and serene

We really enjoyed our visit to the zoo. A nice animal keeper guided us personally through the zoo and explained each animal. Lots of information, friendly staff.
The ride on the turtle was especially great.
The garbage with the snakes was not so nice.

This park is well placed along Aso Rock. It has so much potential. This review is not about the visit but more about donating to the park so that the park becomes self sustaining. Food for the animals is much needed. Some rest f the animals like the horses look really stressed and have eye infections. I really wish it could be different. Please visit the park. Your money is used towards the up keep if the park
