I'm having some thoughts on where i should bring my niece today, either Yexel Toy Museum or Ark Avilon Zoo, but we end up going to the zoo since my niece would really like to see some animals, than toys. We arrived on Tiendisetas around 3:00 pm and we just walk for around few minutes before we reached the zoo, lucky enough the area is not crowded. They were some Family also decided to take a trip in the zoo. While walking, you'll going to see some Stone structures and some full grown plants, makes you feel like your in some sort of forest. Upon looking closely on the structure of the zoo it really looks like an ark, which where its name was taken.
Upon entering on the zoo, you'll going to see some animals which is available for sale. They were some Turtles, parrots, lizards, snakes, and guinea pigs. They also sell animal stuff toys and other merchandise at their souvenir shop which is on the opposite side of payment booth. Entrance fee is PHP 300.
When me and my niece decided to go inside, we are amazed on the ambiance. Our first animal seen there is fox, bears, tigers, there is also white tiger!, a jaguar and some parrots. They were some parts on the first floor where you can feed and take a picture with the animals.
It's my first time to even see a REAL tiger ! they really look like a harmless kitty or a stuff toy in those Magic potion shops, but surely DEADLY. While me and my niece were freakin starstruck to those tigers,
they start making out. Let me repeat that. They just freakin making out!! CENSORED . LIVE SHOW.
Yung ibang kasama namin natawa since they starting doing' something, just even in front of us. Some people were amazed and took pictures of it, while me decided to take my niece away.
After taking some tour and taking some photos of eagles and owls, we decided to go to the other area
where you can see the "Largest Freshwater fish" and crocodiles. Honestly? that area is so creepy ever!
Makes you even think that it might have some Anaconda or biggets Crocrodile that will snap your head once you decided to step your foot on that area. Over acting? NO. My imagination gone wild upon seeing it.
While going up to the second floor you have to take stairs, and you'll be amaze on their wall decorations.
I had to use some flash for the picture taken with my niece along with it to capture the wall decorations but the lightning in that area is quite dim.
For the second floor, some birds were being caged on the right side, while on the left side you'll see some aquarium type cage for snakes and other lizards. It has some fun facts information enlisted in each aquarium cages.
After passing through the bird and snakes area, you'll see the feeding area where pony, and rabbits can be fed. Thus you'll see the farm animals area for goats, pigs etc. Within this area you could also found the cafeteria and play area in case you got yourself hungry after seeing some animals. Cafeteria is full of biscuits and foods for kids. My niece bought a carrots to fed the pony, its so cute. Feeding animals at the second floor cost PHP 40.
I love how the Ark Avilon Management able to put an effort to design the stairway. They added lights, and wooden seat where love led lights are flashing. It's very, very cute.
Just below the stairs theirs some portion (next to the bathroom) where some animals skulls and bones can be seen. Thus, you could also see some assorted animal poster, the mission and vision of the ark avilon zoo, its also a place where you can just take some rest just in case you got tired going down at the stairs.
Had to take pictures of this stone structure because it's amazing. Me and my niece had a blast on our adventure at the Ark Avilon Zoo.
FINAL THOUGHTS: My first Ark avilon experience? its good. We are able to see some tigers and a jaguar for the first time. Zoo's ambience is also good. They have some decorations that kids will surely enjoy. Me as well, feel in love on their wonderful decorations.
