“I do not know what to feel about the animals”
Trip Advisor
I like visitng parks but feel weird about caged animals. I feel sorry for them being trapped and locked-in. Anyway, this is another part of the city tour and likely a must-go place for tourists. You will see crocodiles up close and they are being bred here. When we got here, so many tourist vans and coasters crowd the parking lot ! As this was part of the booked tour, we did not have to worry about paying for anything here, except for personal souvenirs or snacks.
Though there is much to see here, I felt it is not properly maintained and can still be better. If you enter the nature park, you will see lots of caged animals like the bearded pig, eagles, bearcat, etc. Event he flora and fauna is something for the nature lovers. But just to caution, for those who attract mosquitoes and other bugs, please do put on insect repellant! I put some on too late and got insect bites. :(
There are souvenir shops outside, feel free to get something to tickle your fancy.
Also in the gazebos, they have baby crocs whch you can carry and have souvenir photos taken. You pay P 30 per person for holding the croc and your picture taken, bringing home the souvenir photo will cost you the extra P 150!
If you have young children, most of them will enjoy this place, seeing the different animals up close and being able to touch some of them.

Crocodile Farm – now this is
always a part of the city tour or a Palawan tour for that matter. Aside from the
crocodile breeding farm, there is also a nature conservation park where one can
see other animals. The park is like a
mini-forest, but the animals are caged.
Make sure you have some anti-insect/bug repellent on you. For people like
me who attracts bugs, you will surely be a hit here!
We got the chance to hold/pet a baby croc, a
bearcat, a hornbill and more, with souvenir photos to boot!
Since there was more to see here, we spent around 2
hours here.
