Lonely Planet review for Zoológico Nacional Simón Bolívar

It may seem ironic to visit a zoo in one of the most biologically rich countries in the world. But this is a popular spot with local families, who pour in on weekends to peek at the animals. It’s rough around the edges – the cages are cramped and some have complained of the animals’ filthy living spaces – but it can serve as a basic primer on area wildlife for small children.
