Reviews for Sinka Zoo are highly polarized, with significant concerns regarding its current operational status and animal welfare. Some visitors report that the facility is closed or has moved to Bajau Beach, warning of poor road conditions and a lack of signage. Regarding the animals, opinions vary; some guests find the animals healthy and beautiful, while others describe the cages as dirty and the animals' living conditions as distressing. The layout includes a mountain trail featuring birds and reptiles, which some found enjoyable for children.
