• Zoo train costs extra: the ticket covers every presentation and the cable car, but the train is €1 for adults and €0.50 for kids.
• Shaded picnic area with tables, benches and toilets, so packing lunch works; restaurants and the shop sit outside the zoo area.
• Strollers for hire at the ticket office for kids 3 to 10, €7 single or €9 double, plus a €20 cash deposit.

Lisbon Zoo is laid out by world region: Sumatran tigers in the rainforest, lions, giraffes and elephants on the African savanna, gorillas, chimpanzees, okapis and lemurs. Dolphin Bay hosts the dolphin presentation, and pelican feedings run between the Africa and Asia areas.

A cable car passes over the enclosures, a small train loops the grounds, and the Children's Farm introduces domestic animals.
