Salvador Zoo and Botanical Park

Josiah Wadsack: An okay zoo. As of November 2024, about 1/3 is closed for renovations. They have several species of monkeys, foxes, turtles, two hippos and one zebra. A few snack vendors available. Free. NOTE: the entrance by the university is currently closed for renovations, only the entrance by the favela is open. It's still accesible by walking past the closed entrance and up the hill. Feels sketchy though; I'd recommend taking an Uber. Also, Google maps will tell you to walk through the favela to access the main entrance; I'd recommend against that.

Antoine Assaad: 5 stars because it is free, decent animals, nice tree/landscape, easy and clear trail directions, water, lots of washrooms, and much more. Don't know why it should be less as it is free and you can take amazing landscaping views - check pics! I took some of the most beautiful nature pics (maybe not the animals) that i've seen! Do not rely on google Maps or moovit as the entrance for pedestrian is easily accessed by the 2nd entrance (follow my review as I updated the entrance). You can get off the wrong stop and walk 1 hour to get there. I don't suggest the stop Google provides as it involves walking in not recommended streets (many stopped me and took me to enter the second entrance not listed on the map).

Angus Bennion: Lots of cool animals, especially native species to Brazil. There’s at least one huge iguana that roams free which is pretty cool. There are also free roaming monkeys and of course peacocks. The best part is that it’s free.
