If there is a zoo , I have to see it.
That doesn't mean I love zoos...
Especially not this one.

The zoo is located 4km from the city center.
The setting is nice , a green area and a river
running in the middle of the zoo.

The conditions of the animals are sad...really sad.
Especially some monkeys and apes.
I was a bit shocked that they use the word 'educatie'
in their promo folder.
They got a circus in the middle...education?
I found that strange because Jogya is a very educated
city , with lots of universities and students.

A lot of fascinating species , low entrance fee...
But more a tourist trap then a must see activity

(the childrens part is charming , a giant playground with dinosaurs and stuff like that made us forget about the animals for 0,001 second)

Address: Gambira loka (bus 4 stops there)

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
