Get closer to the animals in the Lisbon Zoo

The Lisbon Zoo was the first in the Iberian Peninsula and it was an idea of Drs Peter van der Laan and José Thomaz Sousa Martins. In this park you will see more than 400 species of animals, as well as learn more about each of them and in turn you will have fun as a family. You even have the option to take a photo with a zoo animal like a reptile, bird or even sea lion. It is truly a wonderful experience!

In addition, if you love animals so much, you can help care for the Apadrinándolos. You just have to share between 50 to 75 euros for food and care. That way you will be helping a lot and in turn have many advantages over the zoo.
