Ark Avilon

The whole concept is a wooden ark filled with animals inside, resembling the biblical Noah’s ark. Children would absolutely love it! Currently the only interactive indoor zoo in the country, Ark Avilon makes a wonderful place to take children and the young at heart.

In connection to the Avilon Zoo in Rizal, the Ark Avilon in Ortigas houses exotic animals such as the white tiger, sun bear, jaguar, black-eared marmosets, Philippine serpent eagle (which you can have a close encounter with for a photo opportunity), arapaimas (chicken heads are available for feeding at a cost), a bobtail, a python, a Bornean orangutan, gara ruffa (free fish spa), even guinea pigs (for sale at P200) and more! There is a mini playground as well and an upper deck activity area for parties plus a snack bar with a range of food and drinks to choose from.

Fun and educational, I was happy to give my son Harvey (8 months old at the time of visit) the opportunity to get in closer contact with the beauty of nature, hoping that he would respect and appreciate animals, no matter how big or small, even more so as he grows up. As a huge animal lover, I am thrilled to share that Harvey had touched and pinched a live snake with his bare hands, fed some farm animals and laughed out loud when he heard an owl hoot!
