A wonderful way to spend a day! With or without kids, this is a happy fun place to be! Yes, there are a few kinks they should address, but nothing big that spoils the fun... Must go on the "boat" ride, you'll get soaking wet, but it's a lot of fun :)

Amazing place to spend the day, rafting is worth it, the restaurant is atm 12€ for a filling lunch and about 3€ per drink with coffee (they also have cheaper options like pizza or you can bring your own food).
Rafting is worth the money.
The VIP experience is really nice if you have the extra money, you get more in contact with the animals which makes it more unforgettable, also you don't have to bring or buy fresh water if you do it.
The shows are all fun I recommend watching all.
I think the only thing that I didn't like was the price of the printed photos (10€), they are a nice souvenir but a more fair price would make me buy them, although this seems to be the standard for most of these places

Overall a decent park, not very well signposted off the motorway and not very organised, we were told we can buy the rafting tickets at the rafting location, only this was not the case so had to go back to the ticket office. Not wheelchair nor pram friendly so not good for families, we struggled to get around with ours. More variety of animals, really basic safari and overpriced for what you get. Food is expensive and not great, great selection of photo opportunities although do not expect a bundle price if you purchase more than 1 photo. Has great potential and room for improvement. Facilities are pretty basic and it seems run down. Some staff were nice although not all.

Great experience but the offer could be better. Some expositions were unavailable. For example, we were not able to see the crocodiles.

The animals are very well treated and everything is organised. The worst part is the lack of dining areas and places to sit for people that need support, as elderly.

A very different experience from the one I remember quite a few years ago.
Badoca Park now is quite interactive with regular presentation shows. The absolutely make it for a better day as one of the carers comes forward to explain more about the animal and perform a number of interactions with them.
Food is good and very fair priced.
I wish the times for the carers shows to be available on the website so you can play your day inside the park.
On the downside the experiences are very expensive, do not allow you to take pictures during these and then charge you 10€ for a picture at the end.
This makes something like the lemur experience be 25€ in reality instead of 15€pp. This quickly adds up.
Overall a good day but a shame Badoca ruins it by wanting to charge you for a breath.

We took the VIP pack for the giraffe safari in private jeeps. We were very satisfied with the whole experience, the guide was nice and took us around the park. The giraffe feeding was amazing, worth every penny. The rest of the park was also a nice experience and the animals look happy and healthy. Thank you Badoca 🦒🦒
Joao Matos Leite
Very nice zoo with lots of space for the animals. Possibility to walk among birds in a huge cage, to see multiple displays of animals with their caretakers (clear recommendation to watch the bird show) and to interact with lemurs (for this one a booking should be done by paying a small extra fee). The reduction of one star has to do with the safari tour where we were expecting a bit more enthusiasm by the guide and the food available at the zoo’s restaurant which was canteen style food. Everyone was very nice and there is the chance to take multiple pictures with animals which you can buy at the end of your visit. They don’t send you the digital photo though.
