This Is Your Guide To The Newly Opened Manila Zoo

The Manila Zoo is finally reopening on November 21 after a much-needed rehabilitation, just in time for Christmas visits with family.

The 63-year-old zoo that has seen generations of Filipinos will operate from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, with a cut-off every 6 p.m., the City of Manila said.

Among its residents are the elephant Mali, a resident since 1977, and a white Siberian Tiger called Kois who arrived last January 2022. Aside from the animals, zoogoers may also visit the museum, botanical garden, and butterfly garden.

The renovated zoo was soft-opened in December 2021 by then-mayor Isko Moreno, who alloted P1.74 billion of city funds for its rehabilitation in line with his goal to clean up Manila during his term. It also served as a vaccination site during the COVID-19 pandemic.
