Zoológico Benito Juárez

The zoological park extends across 25 hectares, maintaining 2,043 animals from 362 species representing wildlife from every continent on Earth.

The Zoológico Benito Juárez opened its gates on September 30, 1970, under the administration of Governor Carlos Gálvez Betancourt as a legacy of Jesús Guzmán Villicaña.

The facility functions as Mexico's first Living Museum, emphasizing the preservation of native Mexican wildlife alongside international species for educational purposes.

Visitors can access the zoo through Calzada Juárez heading south, with public transportation available at the dedicated ZOOLÓGICO station near Casa Michoacán.

The institution maintains specialized air purification systems throughout its facilities while conducting extensive breeding programs, including recent successes with antelope populations.
