Zoológico de Batán, Wildlife park in Batán, Mar del Plata, Argentina.

The Zoológico de Batán is a wildlife park spread across 10 hectares with areas housing over 300 animal species from Argentina and around the globe. The layout divides the grounds into different sections, each designed to accommodate specific animal groups.

The zoo grew out of a private reptile collection kept by Daniel Chidini and his wife Silvia Sabugal, who turned it into a full zoological park. The project, part of the ERAS scheme (Estación de Revalorización de Animales Salvajes), was devised in 2003 and opened on 25 March 2005. In December 2008 the municipality of General Pueyrredón declared it of tourist interest.

The zoo runs guided visits, school visits and an educational farm, and its dinosaur park shows life-size replicas with information on each species. On "Zoo de noche" evenings, guides lead groups after dusk to watch the park's nocturnal animals. A confitería doubles as an events hall, and a shop sells crafts and souvenirs.

The zoo is open all 365 days of the year, with ticket offices from 10:00 to 18:00 in winter and to 19:00 in summer. It lies in the paraje Las Lomas, 700 m north of km 14 on route 88 via Los Ortiz street, between 158 and 162. The grounds exceed 10 hectares, with an internal open-air car park, camping areas and a buffet that also serves as an events hall.

The largest enclosure measures 120 metres on each side and has no wire fence: animals are held back by an artificial escarpment built for the purpose. Inside stands a small hill of natural rock. Elsewhere, a 130-metre artificial lake with islands linked by bridges ends in a waterfall among the rocks.
