Zoológico de San Juan de Aragón, Public zoo in San Juan de Aragón, Mexico City
Zoológico de San Juan de Aragón is a public zoo in Mexico City with sections dedicated to different ecosystems like desert zones, coastal areas, tropical forests, and grasslands. The park houses both native and other animal species that live in these natural settings.
The zoo opened on November 20, 1964, as an important addition to the city's cultural institutions. A major renovation in 1999 transformed the facility by creating more natural habitats for the animals.
The zoo serves the local community by offering regular educational programs for schools and families who want to learn about animals and conservation. Visitors can experience how the park connects people to wildlife through these learning activities.
The zoo is located at Avenida José Loreto Fabela and welcomes visitors on weekdays except Monday. Arriving in the morning is a good idea since animals tend to be more active and the grounds less crowded at that time.
The zoo features specialized medical facilities including a quarantine area and veterinary hospital to care for the animals on-site. These facilities demonstrate the professional level of animal care maintained at the park.
