Avilon Zoo



Located just a stone's throw from the Metro, Avilon Zoo in Rodriguez, Rizal is an unexpected surprise for many who are unaware of the many adventures to be had in the park. A 7.5 hectare property housing a menagerie of different and interesting animals, the zoo could rival those found elsewhere in the world. The entrance brings you straight into a large Arapaima pond housing a number of these extra-large freshwater fish. Visitors are welcome to feed the river monsters chicken heads for a fee, which is quite an experience for kids and adults alike. As you go deeper into the zoo following the signs as if following a treasure map, visitors are immediately treated to animals you wouldn't expect to see. All sorts of majestic big cats, crocs and alligators, emus and ostriches, snakes, giraffes, hippos are only some of the animals to expect to see. Visitors are welcome to tour the park on their own which is part of the adventure. The park is safe, easy to navigate, well-maintained, and most importantly the animals looked amazing and in good health, and the zoo staff were all present doing their jobs feeding and caring for their assortment of residents.


The whole experience was a pleasant surprise especially if you go in with no expectations or prior knowledge about the place (they have been open for more than a decade). With the new highways and roads making its location more accessible to those in Metro Manila (40 mins from the Quezon Ave exit of Skyway 3), Avilon Zoo is a must-visit especially if you have young children . The spacious park is perfect for social distancing, while still allowing intimate groups and families to spend time in nature outdoors. Parents and would-be visitors may want to to look into planning a trip while they still can with the country easing in and out of Covid restrictions. Your kids will surely have fun and thank you for it!
