Bioparque Estrella Zoo Bioparque Estrella Review

In Monterrey you can find two interesting Zoo. One is in the City, named Parque La Pastora.

The other named Bioparque Estrella is outside the city, but it have a lot of animals out of gates.

Some times the animals walk to the bus so you can touch and feed them
