Great place for young and old. Preferably young as there is a lot of walking mostly uphill. Entry fee in summertime is €7 for adults and 5 for children. There are couple of restaurants and plenty of drink and ice-cream kiosks. There is tiny sightseeing train for kids. Haven't tried it so I do not know the price for it. Roughly in the middle of the Zoo is Chimpanzee and Orangutan pavilion. It is amazing. On the top of the hill above it are mostly African animals. Once you will descend you will find Dino Park. Again amazing. Most of the Dinosaurs are moving and making sounds. And they are huge. There is another walk uphill where are wolves and buffaloes. On the very bottom of the Zoo are giraffes and zebras. Next to it is tiny hippo. Cute. We have spent there over five hours.

Honestly the worst zoo I’ve visited … I cannot believe it’s got as many stars as it does. Some parts which have been invested in are nice but some areas are very run down. The larger animals such as lion, jaguar etc were in smaller enclosures than the alpacas! I was particularly concerned about the hippo enclosure which had no water. I left feeling guilty I had funded this. If proper investment was made this would be a lovely zoo. Even the vegetables that were thrown in looked rotten. Most animals were locked in their cages, with no other viewing gallery to see them. So most of the time we were looking at empty enclosures. I dread to think the condition of the enclosures we can’t see , if the ones we can we in such a terrible condition. Plenty for the kids to do though, in terms of play grounds etc.

Very affordable, nice variety of animals zoo. Easy to get to by public transport. There is some reconstruction and upgrading happening currently, some animals have been relocated and park map online or ones displayed in the zoo doesn’t reflect this. Also, zoo is located on a hill, and requires climbing a steep hill to see rhinos or bison. Paths are all nice and paved, but bit too much climbing for my bad heart. But nice rest benches everywhere for a break. There is an internal zoo train/shuttle but there were no clear instructions if this is included in general ticket, or needs an additional ticket. We couldn’t find sign in English about it, but plenty of signs in local language. Overall, much better than expected and makes nice affordable visit for 2-3 hours.

First a surprise: When enter the area, the zoo appears to be bigger than it actually looks from outside. So you will be there for a few hours if you want to see all the areas. Some of the enclosures seem unfortunately quite small and offer little space for the animals, the modern and in the past refurbished enclosures are generously sized. So I hope that the smaller areas will also be redesigned soon to give the animals a better home. It's a pleasure to see as most animals as possible, but to be honest my favorites are the cats - cats are cats, are cats, are cats. The entrance fee is very reasonable and fair, and I spent well invested hours at the zoo. I will come back.

+ The animals are wonderful and they are well taken care of. They also have some interesting animals that I haven't seen in SLO, HRK, ZOO. + A beautiful and large building for the monkeys, with plenty of space for the monkeys to play inside and outside. 5🌟 for that. - Routes could be arranged more sensibly, or shortcuts or intersecting routes could be arranged. Now it is necessary to walk a long way to visit certain animals, then return to the center and take another path back to a smaller hill. - I miss the possibility of petting animals for smaller children, for example goats. + The ticket price is acceptable. 👍 - Only the toilets were open in the middle.

I always enjoy visiting zoos wherever I go , but this one dissatisfied us . we were here on 20th august 2024. When entering no map is given so you will have to follow signs throughout the whole park , which in my opinion are not clear enough and you will be lost . Animal habitats are too far apart which consists a lot of walking and to arrive to an empty enclosure it’s not satisfying . In my opinion the area is too big for the animals we get to see , great for people who like to walk . (more like a park than a zoo) Food is very very average considering the prices Entry fee is decent .
