We had a wonderful time at Eco Park with 4 young children. - We travelled with 4 young grandchildren ages 8 yr down to 21 months. They all loved Eco Park - there was something for everyone.. Hightlights were feeding the animals, and boating on the river.

Awesome up close experience with farm animals - What a wonderful experience, my little toddler had an awesome time. Also, is the adult we had a great time. The timing of the tour was just right about 4hours, so the kids don’t get too tired and starts to feel bored. We went there in the morning about 9:20 am. Weather was on our side , it was raining a bit which was great. Otherwise, it would have been very humid and disgusting because the entire tour is outdoor and in the field. We were greeted and they gave us the bracelet. Then, our bus arrived . We did 15 activities and spent about 5-12 minutes each. Started off with riding a swing over a valley, and standing on a glass tiles over a valley too. Take some pictures and then the day started. We fed the goats and pigs, milked the cow, watched a short horse show, got close to monkeys and took some pictures. Did a horse back riding for a short distance. Got a ride on a bamboo boat, and we were offered to swim in the water if we wanted to but didn’t. Amazing experience especially if you have little ones. One thing to consider wear light clothing and water shoe or a shoe that you could walk around with in the mud. You are allowed to take pictures of everything except the monkey part, which was very disappointing. However, a photographer was with us from the beginning until the monkey activity was done, but we weren’t sure how much we will be charged for the pictures. After we finished the day. The package cost for all the pictures in digital format was $30 US, which we didn’t mind but if they told us from the beginning we would have allowed the photographer to take more photos of us. Also, it would been nice for him to stay all the way through. This is a suggestion for the park management.

Great experience - Eco Park was a unique, fun, and amazing experience. The animals are all well taken care of, and provided a large amount of space/land to live in. Everything was well organized and enjoyable. From feeding the goats, pigs, and birds, to milking a cow, petting a bull, & watching the horse show. My only recommendation is to educate staff more on the animals & allow tourists to enjoy their time without being rushed. At times we were rushed to go to the next section & didn’t get the opportunity to fully enjoy a certain experience.

Great way to spend a half day - We had a great afternoon at Ecopark. July was an awesome guide! We thought we would wander around at our own pace, but you actually go on a bus and they bring you to each area for 5-10 min mostly. This meant you saw the whole park in about 4 hours, but if you wanted to spend more time in one area you might be disappointed.

Good but was expecting more - It was nice but not really a local culture experience - mostly time with animals… I was expecting a lot more from the house, seeing how to make coffee, cigars, etc. none of this we were shown.

Awesome but with disappointment - This was the only excursion we booked while in Punta Cana. I would do it again because it was an amazing experience! The fact that you can feed a baby goat and hug a Brahma bull was thrilling. What a perfect day and once in a lifetime experience. I am giving it 3/5 stars review because they have a photographer follow you around all day with the intent to sell you photos at the end of the day. That's awesome so you don't miss a photo opportunity and you can just enjoy yourself. You pay the fee (which I did) and you can download the pictures the next day. Well that didn't happen the next day or the next. I sent an email asking for help with no response. Tried again once I got back to the states and website no longer available. It wasn't the money I lost but the photos I was looking forward to sharing. Go to the park but take your own photos!

Don't buy the pictures. - Nice for families with kids. Weather wasn't great when we went, but it was still pretty interesting. No cameras allowed in monkey house so if you want pictures you have to pay $30.00 US. We went on Dec. 14th and were told that they would be available in 24/28 hours. Still no pictures. Very disappointed.
