Great experience and friendly staff. Zoo is full of animals and the kids loved it. It’s organized and clean with a wide variety of animals. Nice small areas for snacks, pizzas, coffee, cold beer, etc… Areas for improvement are: 1) this doesn’t aspire to be an international zoo. Most signs especially explanatory ones are in Portuguese only. 2) the dolphin show which staff told us is the highlight show was below average compared to the one we saw a few days earlier in Zoomarine. Also, anchor talks in Portuguese only which makes it even more boring to international guests. Recommend to buy tickets in advance online to save the tickets queue.

We loved this experience on the Cityrama Hop-On Hop-Off bus in Lisbon! The three routes (blue, red, and purple) let you explore the city from different angles and see many must-see sights. The only slight downside was the red route, which seemed to drive a bit faster than the others. As a result, we weren’t able to fully enjoy some of the scenery or take as many photos as we would have liked. Despite that, this activity remains a wonderful memory of our trip. It’s an excellent way to explore Lisbon, especially on a first visit. We highly recommend it!

Cover the city's top landmarks and enjoy a global wildlife experience without the stress of navigating public transit between them.

Enjoy full access to the animal habitats, themed zones, Dolphin Bay, and the daily bird presentations with your Lisbon Zoo ticket.

Mingle with local farm animals in the picnic and outdoor areas. You can pack your lunch and play with them afterwards before continuing your exploration.

Set your own itinerary with a 24-hour Hop-on Hop-off bus pass, choosing from multiple lines that stop near key attractions, including routes that pass right by the zoo.

Listen to pre-recorded onboard audio commentary as you ride, ensuring you learn about Lisbon's history while traveling between your chosen stops.

Having the digital tickets made entry very easy. No line to wait in. We had a special time at the chimpanzee exhibit watching them all dote on the little baby chimp!
