Mayagüez - Mayagüez Zoo

Puerto Rico's main zoo (Zoológico zoorico) is located in Mayagüez near the agricultural research station. The site includes 90ac/36ha of tropical vegetation surrounding a children's park, lake, and islands. While the zoo can't compare to others in the world, Puerto Rico has tried extensively to create natural habitats for the residents. The result is a pleasant zoo with decent size space for the animals to live. The Zoológico Zoorico maintains over 300 species of birds, reptiles, mammals and amphibians. A visit to the zoo makes for a pleasant family outing.
