A Real Parent's Story
A retro zoo with real charm and real peacocks on the loose
“A peacock strutted past our picnic blanket like he owned the place. My 4-year-old followed him for 20 minutes. We ate lunch cold. Worth it.”

I wasnt excited about Tunis Zoo. But my kids dont care about modern. They care about watching peacocks fan their feathers inches from their faces. For a few dinars entry, we spent 4 hours between the zoo and the park.
