The park hosts over 60,000 visitors every year, the vast majority of which (95%) are Costa Rican Nationals. Over the past decade (since 1990), Zoo Ave has worked to preserve native flora and fauna through wildlife rehabilitation, captive breeding, release of native species and operation of the zoological garden. The Zoo itself is designed to educate the public about conservation and to display native Costa Rican species in a healthy and respectful manner.

The Zoo offers the public a chance to view Costa Rican gems such as the Resplendent Quetzal and the prehistoric relic the American Crocodile. In addition, several exotic species are on exhibit which includes.
African wildlife such as the ostrich and patas monkeys. Visitors are encouraged to stroll through the beautifully landscaped park to view and learn about these wonderful animals.
