An amazing Zoo, with great facilities and although the Covid standards makes it a little uncrowded, it feels amazing. Amazing variety of animals. A bit expensive BUT you have to consider the number of tenants....

The dolphins show is awesome, the animals are in good conditions ( space, hygiene , protection) a bit small and It's overpriced , the location isn't ideal far from the city ) , the stuff are polite and professional, suitable for families with kids as there are also green spaces ( chairs and tables where to sit for a snack)
Decent effort with good amount of animals. However, it shows signs of abandonment, dirty environments, broken equipment. Hope they can restore it as there is nothing similar in Greece
A place definitely worth the visit. We spent there almost the whole day. Dolphins show is very interesting and I especially like the birds(lot of different species and usually couples of whole families, the same for all animals).
Small enclosures and ignorant fat Greeks throwing food to animals and screaming to them "hey look here stupid, I want to take a picture of you". You can pet wild animals too, like a drugged looking boa constrictor, and pretend you've done something courageous. Generally it's like any other foreign zoo, but smaller and more cramped. You can have a lot of fun if you leave your sensitivities home, and not spare a second thought about the wild animals being kept here. But if you do, you get overwhelmed by sadness. Trained dolphins jumping high, trained eagles resting on their trainers' arm, cheetahs and rhinos being kept together, elephants, lions giraffes, monkeys... the list is long and impressive. Lizards, snakes and crocodiles are kept in extremely cramped spaces. In my opinion the happier animals there are the small American turtles. The kids will have fun, there's free WiFi, cafes and food, big parking space, courteous staff, and a nice shop, it's just the concept of Zoos is wrong in my opinion. Wild animals should stay in the wild, and not petted, touched or imprisoned. You can't make a cage large enough since there's no substitute for freedom.
You will definitely need a full day to visit this place but it was totally worth it. I was impressed to see that some of the birds are free to go whenever they want and that they actually rescued some endangered species. There is also a shop with a terrace where you can sit and grab a bite and something to drink. For me it was an amazing experience and I advise everyone to visit this place.
Excellent water park, fantastic facilities, clean and safe for the visitors. Very good staff, professional and polite. A bigger restaurant is must. Also a member club should be established in order the permanent customers to get some discounts vas the prices are but high, and can be expensive for a big family
It's one of the best places one could visit in Athens. It is very modern, clean, and contains many many species. There are very big areas for the animals, more than enough, and they feed them the best food,. It is forbidden for visitors to give them any type of food. I think that this park is perfect for anybody who likes animals.
