Yerevan Zoo — Attraction in Yerevan

These poor animal's

I recently visited a local zoo with high hopes of a memorable experience, but I left feeling utterly disappointed and disheartened. My visit to this zoo was nothing short of a disaster, and I can't help but share my negative review to warn others from making the same mistake.

First and foremost, the conditions in which the animals were kept were simply appalling. Many enclosures were cramped and filthy, with little to no consideration for the well-being and comfort of the animals. It was disheartening to witness majestic creatures confined to small spaces that barely resembled their natural habitats.

To make matters worse, the lack of proper maintenance and care was evident throughout the entire zoo. . Some animals seemed visibly distressed, pacing back and forth or displaying signs of behavioral issues, which was deeply distressing to witness. It was clear that the zoo's staff neglected their duty to provide a safe and enriching environment for the animal

The organization and layout of the zoo were chaotic and confusing. Poor signage and a lack of clear pathways made navigation unnecessarily difficult. Some exhibits were closed without any explanation, and the limited variety of animals on display was underwhelming. It seemed

In conclusion, I strongly advise against visiting this particular zoo. The conditions in which the animals are kept are unacceptable, the educational value is virtually non-existent, and the overall experience is incredibly disappointing. Save your time and money by exploring alternative options that prioritize animal welfare and offer a more enriching and enjoyable experience...

Just finished my visit to the zoo and honestly I was so happy and impressed 😍 This is the first time I see tigers and lions live and so up-close! 🥹 The staff is very nice, make sure you buy solid food when you are buying your entrance ticket as you can feed most of the animals inside 🤗 This is the first time I go to a zoo and literally see all the animals there - some of them are more shy and hide better than others though 😉 The tigers and lions were so impressive, they were the highlight of my visit 💫 The elephant and camel are super cute, the bears and monkeys/baboons are fun to watch, and the different birds/vultures/pheasants were also nice to appreciate up-close and from different angles. Make sure you pass by the reptiles space once you exit the zoo, you will need to walk a few steps forward then take your left - it looks like a small house on the outside.

Good to know: -Opening hour is @10AM and it’s better to go early so you can enjoy your time without the zoo being too busy. -Entrance fee is for 1000ADM and a small bag of solid food is for 500ADM. -No need to take water bottles as there are several water fountains inside. -There is a parking space but it is better to take a taxi especially if you are arriving later than noon because it will be packed with cars especially on a weekend. -Expect to walk up and down as the zoo is not on the same level so make sure you wear comfortable shoes and clothes. -Kids will love it there as they will see animals closely and be able to feed...

Well well well,

The Zoos are one of the amazing places to visit during travel to any destinations.

The zoo describes the mirror of the city's your are visiting.

Yerevan Zoo is one of the healthiest zoos I have visited in the region.

Extended to the upper hills by giving the animals the proper spaces.

Few comments and suggestions to the management :

It's Winter time and you know very well some of the animals kept inside because of the cold and some of their places are renovating and their cage are totally kept empty. Why full entrance fees applied? Literally we didn't see not more than 4 or 5 animals in the whole zoo.. Either you inform at the entrance About the situation inside or provide 50% discount. (just fyi this is the rule of the Zoos worldwide).

Hire more friendly staff.

Overall we enjoyed the cold weather while walking in an empty park.

Cheers...
