El Parque Zoologico Nacional (the National Zoo Park) is located in the city of Santo Domingo, capital of the Dominican Republic. It is the largest zoo in the Caribbean region and one of the largest and completed of the Americas.

Here are some overall pictures of the zoo:

Beautiful pics!!! it's a shame... I have not gone to our zoo

Parque Zoologico Nacional is a must go for all Dominicans there is so much more that is not shown in this pictures. First time i went there i was blown away by how nice and well done it is.

I heard! I want to go there so badly! I haven't been to the DR since 2006.

There is a lot of thing that Dominican don't know or visit if you go online you will find place in DR that average Dominican in/out of the country haven't heard about. When i heard the new slogan "Dominican Republic has everything" I was like finally somebody said it because it does. Most people think we only have a beach and merengue but there is a lot more to see and explore on your next trip i would recomend you rent a car and get a map and go explore the whole country like i did in 2006 i was there for 1 1/2 month going from town to town everyday and asking locals about atractions. I couldn't believe my selft how much stuff there is really. I didn't really knew all the towns i just drove around the whole country for 2 weeks at a time.

Oh yes for a Caribbean island it has it all! Beaches, deserts, mountains, colder parts, etc. It has a lot of variety of ecosystems for an island.

This web site has some great stuff you can do when you go there : www.dr-adventures.com
but there is a lot more to explore. I think DT should set up meet of all the users to go there at once and call it DT Members Tours i'm sure there is a lot folks here that know a lot of different areas i haven't heard of.
