The whole place is...
Keith_T, Feb 2024
The whole place is wonderful and we did get to see most of the animals. Great spot would recommend anyone to check it out if in the area.
Fantastic wildlife viewing
Ken_P, Jan 2024
Great wildlife and your entrance fees go to an incredibly worthy cause! Working very hard to save Costa Rica’s endangered birds and animals.
Horrible and too much expensive
Edwin_C, Sep 2023
You can barely see the animal because is so much trees and also too expensive.. I recommend going to a different zoo
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Hello Edwin, we are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your experience at Rescate. The reason why we have a lot of trees, is so that the animals can live in the most natural environment possible. We understand that sometimes this makes them a little harder to see, but this is their home, and we want to make sure they are living a high quality of life with us. Usually if you go slow and take your time, you can spot most animals! With your entrance fee we also support thousands of animals that enter our rescue center every year, with our main goal of releasing them back into the wild. We also have breeding programs for endangered species, over 2000 acres of private reforested reserves and with your visit you are assisting in all of these projects, so we thank you for your support!
Very small and expensive

Far away from the city center and small. Buy directly from zooave, viator charges too much. Not worth the money
This isn't a tour, it's just...
Pamela_S, Feb 2018
This isn't a tour, it's just admission to Zoo Ave the ave is for birds in Spanish, not short for avenue. Lots of species, some native to Costa Rica, but most either seized as pets and not capable of living in the wild, and others injured, like the toucan with the prosthetic beak. It's perhaps not up to the standards of a US wildlife rescue facility, but a lot for a small country and a good experience.
