History

Construction of the park began at the end of 1997 and was inaugurated on November 16, 2000. The main person responsible for the foundation was Paulo Figueiras. In 2011, the Lagos Zoo welcomed ten pairs of flying foxes (Pteropus Lylei). In 2020, the space was closed for a few months and the staff was reduced as part of the global pandemic. In August of that year, the park was visited by the President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, during a visit to the municipality of Lagos. In November 2020, a pygmy hippopotamus was born at the Lagos Zoo, a species that originated in Liberia and is in imminent danger of extinction.
