Overview

Reino Animal is a safari-style wildlife conservation center located near the Teotihuacan archaeological site. The park allows visitors to interact with African savannah species from safari vehicles and walking trails. It houses over 1,500 animals across 130 species, including jaguars, raptors, and various ungulates. The facility emphasizes environmental education and the conservation of Mexican endemic species. Visitors can observe animal feeding sessions and participate in falconry demonstrations. The grounds are divided into specific habitats designed to replicate the native environments of the resident species. It functions as a hybrid between an open-range zoo and an interactive education center.

Insider tips

Bring a high-zoom camera lens as safari vehicles keep a respectful distance from the larger animals.

Carry sun protection such as hats and high-SPF sunscreen, as much of the park is uncovered and exposed to intense sun.

Plan to participate in the 'Safari' transit early in your visit to ensure you cover the largest animal enclosures before afternoon heat increases animal lethargy.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to walk between animal sections outside of designated pedestrian paths, as the park is designed for vehicle transit.

Good to know

Generally closed on Mondays.

Etiquette

Do not feed animals unless explicitly authorized by park staff, as most enclosures prohibit outside food.
