Lonely Planet review for Parque Histórico Guayaquil
Historic Williamsburg meets the zoo at this large park across the Guayaquil–Durán bridge, on the east side of Río Daule. The park is divided into three ‘zones’: the Endangered Wildlife Zone, which has 45 species of bird, animal and reptile in a seminatural habitat; the Urban Architecture Zone, which has a restaurant and showcases the development of early-20th-century architecture in Guayaquil; and the Traditions Zone, which focuses on local traditions, with an emphasis on rural customs, crafts and agriculture.

great experience: zoo, nature and historical houses together
antonevers recommends this,
The site is built for tourists but also interesting for locals. Admission is free under the present government. Lot of care is given to make it a pleasant stay for a morning or afternoon. The food near the old hospital is fine as well. In and around the houses (saved from the old city centre and rebuilt in this parc) people dressed like 100 years back will entertain you. The website mentioned in my guide (LP2009) was out of order but here is a proper one: http://www.visitaecuador.com/index.php?hasta=0&codi_seccion=&cod_seccion=5&codigo=0TmYTjzV
