Hands down one of the best wildlife parks I've ever visited. The natural mountain backdrop makes the animals seem more at home compared to typical city zoos. I especially appreciated the conservation efforts and educational signs. The big cat section was impressive—lions and leopards roaming in large spaces. The ticket price is very reasonable for what you get. A must-do when in Xi'an!

Took my two kids here and they had the time of their lives! The zoo is enormous and offers so much variety—from the walking safari to the petting zoo. My daughter was thrilled to see the baby pandas. The picnic areas are clean and shaded, perfect for a family lunch. We spent the whole day and still didn't see everything. Will definitely come back. Highly recommended for families!

Absolutely loved this place! The drive into the Qinling Mountains alone is worth the trip. The open areas for the animals are huge and well-maintained. Walking through the bird zone and seeing peacocks up close was a highlight. The staff were friendly and the feeding experience with the giraffes was unforgettable. Definitely recommend arriving early to beat the crowds. 5 stars!

A solid 4-star experience. The park is huge and the setting is stunning—right in the foothills of the Qinling Mountains. We saw plenty of animals including pandas, golden monkeys, and the Siberian tigers. The shows were fun, though a bit too crowded. My main complaint: getting there from the city center took nearly two hours by bus, and the signage inside is confusing. Still, a decent day out if you plan ahead.

Honestly, I had mixed feelings about Xi'an Qinling Wildlife Park. The location is beautiful, set against the mountains, but many of the enclosures felt outdated and the animals looked stressed. The safari bus ride was okay, but we waited over 40 minutes in line. For the price of admission, I expected a bit more maintenance and better animal care. Not terrible, but I've definitely been to better zoos.

Hands down the best wildlife park I've been to in China. The mixed-species exhibits are fantastic — the safari truck ride lets you feed bears and tigers through the window! The staff even let us take photos with a baby monkey (without extra charge). Clean bathrooms and plenty of shaded rest areas. A perfect day out for any age group.

★★★☆☆ 3.0

Honestly a bit let down. The park is huge, but many animals were just sleeping far away or hiding in the shade. We paid extra for the ‘train ride’ into the herbivore zone but only saw three deer and a llama. The playground area for kids is nice, but the whole place felt a bit tired and dusty. Wouldn’t go out of my way to come back.

★★★★☆ 4.0

Good overall experience, but a few things kept it from being perfect. The walking paths are lovely, and the variety of animals is huge — saw peacocks, red pandas, and even a white tiger. However, some enclosures looked a bit dated, and the souvenir shop was overpriced. Took about 4 hours to cover everything. Worth a visit, but manage expectations.

The giant pandas were the main reason I came, and they did not disappoint. Saw two pandas munching on bamboo right next to the glass — so cute! The staff were friendly and the map was easy to follow. Only minor issue: a few of the food stalls were closed, but the restaurant had decent noodles. Strongly recommend for animal lovers.

Absolutely loved my day here! The open-air bus tour through the safari zone was a highlight — we got so close to the lions and bears. The bird show was also impressive, with parrots doing tricks. The park is huge and well-maintained. Definitely a must-visit in Xi'an, especially for families. I'll be coming back next time I'm in town!

★★★★☆ 4.0

Good value for money — the ticket includes both the bus safari and walking area. The kids enjoyed the petting zoo and pony rides. My only complaint is that getting here without a car is a hassle; the public bus takes forever and the taxi costs a lot. But once you're inside, it's a fun day. Bring water and sunscreen!

What a gem! We were lucky to see the rare golden snub-nosed monkeys playing actively. The highlight was feeding the giraffes — they were gentle and the keepers were helpful. The park is huge, so wear comfortable shoes. I loved that they had conservation info boards everywhere. Highly recommend for wildlife enthusiasts!

★★★☆☆ 3.0

Honestly a bit disappointed. Many animals were hiding or just lying around doing nothing — maybe it was the heat? The walking paths are quite long with little shade, and we ended up exhausted. The souvenir shop was overpriced and the staff seemed indifferent. Not what I expected for the ticket price. Wouldn't rush back.

A solid experience overall. The variety of animals is impressive, especially the pandas and golden monkeys. However, the food options inside are overpriced and not great — I'd recommend bringing your own snacks. Also, some of the enclosures felt a bit small for the larger animals. Still, a good day out if you plan ahead.

Absolutely loved our day at Xi'an Qinling Wildlife Park! The drive-through section was incredible — we saw lions and tigers up close, and the kids were thrilled. The bird show was entertaining and well-organized. The whole park felt clean and spacious. Definitely a must-do if you're in Xi'an with family. We'll be coming back!

Good zoo but tough to get to without a car. We took a bus from the city center which took almost 2 hours each way. Once there, the scenery is beautiful – it's nestled right in the Qinling foothills. The Siberian tiger enclosure is impressive. However, the shuttle within the park was crowded and we had to wait 30 minutes. If you drive yourself, it's a solid 4-star experience. Just plan ahead.

Such a magical experience! We went early in the morning and practically had the place to ourselves. The highlight was feeding the giraffes – they have a little platform where you can buy lettuce leaves and they eat right from your hand. My kid screamed with joy. The staff were super friendly and the entire park felt safe and well-organized. 5 stars, we'll definitely come back.

★★★☆☆ 3.0

I was really looking forward to this place, but honestly left a bit disappointed. Most of the big animals were just lying around sleeping in the heat – I get it, but the timing was bad. The bird park was nice, but the reptile house smelled awful and felt outdated. The map was confusing too, we walked in circles for an hour. Not terrible, but for the price I expected more activity.

Mike_Travels May 28, 2026
★★★★☆ 4.0

Pretty good overall, but I have mixed feelings. The animal exhibits are spacious and the staff seemed knowledgeable. However, the entrance fee felt a bit steep for what you get – you have to pay extra for the bus tour inside. Also, the food options inside were overpriced and mediocre. Still, if you're an animal lover, you'll enjoy the walk-through areas with the deer and peacocks roaming freely.

Honestly one of the best zoos I've been to in China. The variety of animals is incredible – we saw pandas, golden monkeys, and even a rare white tiger. The drive-through safari section was a highlight; the elephants came right up to our car! The whole place felt clean and well-maintained. Perfect for a family day out. Absolutely worth the trip from downtown Xi'an.
