The main attraction at the Baluarte Zoo is the Safari Gallery which exhibits Chavit Singson’s memorabilia as a hunter during his time in the African continent and other parts of the world.
In accordance with its history, in the past decades, Baluarte was a rest house for the well-known politician and businessman Chavit Singson.

In the year 2021, Baluarte Zoo closed to the public because of the worldwide pandemic. Even so, after a few years of rehabilitation, Baluarte Zoo is now open to all tourists coming from different parts of the world.
