Zagazig Zoo is a long-standing destination in the Al-Sharqia Governorate, offering a mix of animal viewing and amusement park entertainment. It is a frequent choice for local families seeking an affordable outdoor activity. However, the facility has faced criticism regarding its upkeep, with visitors noting that the animal enclosures and park games require significant cleaning and renovation. The experience is very much a local one, lacking the polished feel of larger international zoos, but it remains a key point of interest in the city for those looking for a casual afternoon out with children.

Zagazig Zoo currently holds a 3.0-star rating, reflecting a significant divide between those who see it as a simple family spot and those concerned by its condition. Many reviewers express deep dissatisfaction with the cleanliness of the garden and the amusement park games, describing them as poorly maintained. A significant portion of feedback focuses on animal welfare, with reports of hungry animals and inadequate enclosure conditions. Some visitors specifically advise against visiting during the summer due to the extreme heat and lack of comfort for children. While a few guests mention it as a 'nice family place,' the prevailing sentiment is that the facility requires urgent improvements and better care for its inhabitants. There are also unusual mentions of 'green dogs' from some reviewers, though the context of these comments remains unclear.
