Parque Zoológico del Centenario

A small zoo with lots of things to do and see! If you're interested in spending a fun day out with your family, this is the best bet. There's a mini train that goes around the whole place and you pay one mexican peso per ride, so it's really fun and cheap. There's activities all year round for the little ones, an aquarium, reptile area, the monkeys enclosure and even a skate park! You'll definitely love it.

Fun little park, mostly oriented towards children. The zoo features quite a few species of large felines which are well worth going to see considering the park is free to enter. Not something I´d plan my day around, but stop by if in the area.

We visited this lovely free admission zoo twice during our stay near Merida with our 5 and 7 year old boys. The zoo is well shaded and a good size for a 2 hour or less visit. The covid walking path missed a couple exhibits we were disappointed to not be able to see better. Many of the features of the zoo were closed due to Covid as well but it was great for a free kid activity. And I highly recommend the churros 😁

Update - Open Wednesday-Sunday 9am-4pm. Spectacular playground unfortunately closed (Covid). Quite a few animals for a small zoo & the $1mx train ride totally worth it.

Such a fun place. It's free to get in and there are so many different animals.
