Manila Zoo to reopen its doors to the public on Monday, Nov. 21

The Manila Zoo is set to reopen its doors to the public on Monday, November 21.

In a video, the Manila Public Information Office gave a glimpse of what to expect from the renovated tourist attraction. 

Also called the Manila Zoological & Botanical Garden, it will feature animals and plants that will be of additional knowledge to visitors, especially children, in a more visually-appealing setting.

The entrance fee has gone a bit higher than previous operations. According to Rod Vega’s report on Super Radyo dzBB, Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna’s office said this is for the zoo’s maintenance.

Since fee is higher for non-Manila residents, it added that the extra pay will be “worth it” as the zoo can now compete with others worldwide.

Entrance costs P150 for Manila residents. Those residing outside the city, meanwhile, would have to pay P300. There’s a P100 off discount for students, and kids below two years old get in for free.

Manila Zoo, located on M. Adriatico Street in Malate, is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
