Scenic photo ops, but serious concerns regarding animal welfare and stall confinement
AnimalPark的点评
点评：I visited this park with a group of travelers this week. Admission was around $6, and while the hilltop location offers scenic mountain views and photo setups, the overall experience left me disappointed and concerned about the living conditions and management of the animals.
Living Conditions & Stall Confinement
- Lack of Space & Turnout: The park houses a large collection of high-value international horse breeds, ponies, and zebra hybrids, many of which are intact stallions. However, they are kept strictly in narrow stalls (~12X12 ft) with no visible pastures, paddocks, or turnout areas where they can move or graze.
- Behavior & Safety: Keeping large, energetic horses constantly confined leads to obvious frustration. Many stalls had warning signs like "I'm curious, but I bite" or "I'm friendly, but I bite." The animals appeared visibly stressed and restless—frequently showing pinned ears, wide eyes, and hyper-fixation on passing visitors.
- Carrot Feeding: Visitors can pay $1 to feed carrots or alfalfa through the stall bars. Relying on continuous treat-feeding without adequate physical movement or regular forage raises significant concerns for their welfare.
Exhibits & Facility Setup
- Secondary Enclosures: The other animal exhibits feel like basic additions. Rabbits, Guinea pigs, and hedgehogs are kept in wire cages, and animals like sheep and llamas are in tight, circular pens. Aside from lions, mountain lions, flamingos, and ostriches, the exotic selection is minimal.
- Photo Props & "Jurassic Park": A large portion of the venue consists of photo setups, including a "Jurassic Park" area with large dinosaur statues and informational plaques.
- Overall Impression: The park feels less like a genuine sanctuary or zoo and more like a private horse-breeding/stud operation that uses photo ops and a few secondary animal enclosures as a front to generate public revenue and offset operating costs.
Verdict
If you are looking for mountain views or photo lookouts over Baños, you are much better off visiting Mirador lookout or another location nearby. Supporting this facility felt uncomfortable given the severe confinement and stress of the animals. Would not recommend.

翻译：本周，我和一群旅伴一同参观了这个公园。门票价格约为6美元。虽然公园位于山顶，能欣赏到优美的山景并适合拍照，但整体体验却让我感到失望，同时也对园内动物的生存环境及管理状况产生了担忧。
**生存环境与圈养状况**
- 空间不足且缺乏户外活动机会：公园内饲养着众多珍贵的进口马种、矮马以及斑马杂交品种，其中许多都是未经过阉割的公马。然而……这些马匹被严格关在狭小的马厩中（约12英尺×12英尺大小），周围没有任何可供它们活动或吃草的牧场或空地。
——行为与安全性：将体型庞大且精力旺盛的马匹长期关在狭小的空间里显然会让它们感到烦躁。许多马厩里都贴有警示牌，比如“我很好奇，但会咬人”或“我很友善，但也会咬人”。这些马看起来压力很大且坐立不安——经常出现耳朵后贴、眼神惊恐以及对路过的访客过度关注的表现。- 喂胡萝卜：游客可以花1美元通过栏杆缝隙喂胡萝卜或苜蓿。然而，长期只喂食零食而缺乏足够的身体活动及正常的觅食机会，会对动物的福利状况造成严重隐患。
展览区与设施配置
- 辅助饲养区：其他动物展览区则显得较为简陋。兔子、豚鼠和刺猬被关在金属笼中，绵羊和骆马等动物则被圈养在狭窄的圆形围栏里。除了狮子、美洲狮以及火烈鸟之外……至于鸵鸟之类的动物，可观赏的种类相当有限。
- 摄影道具与“侏罗纪公园”：园区内有很大一部分区域被布置成摄影场景，其中包括一个设有大型恐龙雕像及说明牌的“侏罗纪公园”区域。
- 总体印象：这座公园给人的感觉不像是真正的野生动物保护区或动物园，倒更像是一家以繁殖马匹为主营业务的私人马场——只不过借助摄影场景及少量其他动物围栏来吸引游客、增加收入以弥补运营成本罢了。评价
如果你想欣赏山景或从高处拍摄巴尼奥斯的景色，前往米拉多尔观景台或附近的其他地点会更好。考虑到这些动物所遭受的严重限制与压力，为这样的设施提供支持实在让人于心不安。不推荐前往。
