    (Translated by Google) We looked at the site working from 10:00, did not answer the call, arrived there, and it has been working for three years now, it’s complete disappointment, in three years it was possible to change the information on the site (Original) Посмотрели на сайте работает с 10:00, на звонок не ответили, приехали туда, а он уже три года как не работает, разочарование полное, за три года можно было изменить информацию на сайте

    (Translated by Google) The zoo is a place of detention of living creatures. Here is one of the prisoners. Fortunately, it is closed now. (Original) Зоопарк-это место заключения живых существ. Вот один из узников. Благо сейчас оно закрыто.

    Best place to visit animals.. it's now open for all.. well constructed and well maintained.. constructions are still going on..some animals were in their shelters due to weather..so will be better to visit during summer..cafes and washrooms are available..you will be provided with a map from the entrance which is very helpful..

    Good place for enjoyment in the centre of city. Renovations are not fully completed,but is open for the public now. Has a wide variety of animals like bears,elephants,different birds,lions,tiger,penguins etc. There are many clean toilets. Also there are some snack shops. It is better to visit in summer,because in winter many animals are kept away from visitors. The place is well renovated and is very beautiful now..A must visit place in Kharkiv.

    Great design and nice atmosphere with relaxing music on the background, some buildings with the giraffe or australian animals are too small and a lot of people are packing inside a small room. Some features are not ready yet since the zoo has just reopened

    First time I was there back in 2008 didn't like it much then it was preety outdated, this year i went the first time after they upgraded the park. Compared to then and now there is a huge difference, its better now, modern and clean. Me and the kids loved it.

    Great zoo in the centre of Kharkiv easy accessable by public transport. currently still being redeveloped and some animals currently not available. I visited during war times (nov 2023) and entry was currently free. ( I made online donation which covered the normal cost of 2 entries) Staff very helpful and some spoke English too which is a bonus for an Englishman

    It is unbelievable that this newly renovated zoo is free of charge, always and for everyone. It's actually large, and very high quality - there is no difference to out best zoos in Finland, that have a decent entry fee. Also very central location in the heart of the city. Must visit if you are around in Kharkiv!

    Awesome place! Reminded me EcoPark in Valencia. They are still working on reconstruction, but they are doing great job at it! Special thanks go to the guys working as guides - they do their best to make the stay interesting and interactive! Also, I am grateful to everyone providing the service - from guards to janitors, there are so many devoted people involved in making this place better! Looking forward to visiting this zoo again when it's open for public!

    The place has so many animals. It felt great to see a majestic tiger roaming in a free environment and the other animals I saw included a girrafe, meercats, wolves, deer and rams. It is a must go-to place in Kharkiv.

    (Translated by Google) The zoo is good, but too long there is a reconstruction, 3 years probably. During this time you can the city build. Who knows, there is ECOPARK! lake, stables and so on. (Original) Зоопарк хороший ,но уж слишком долго идет реконструкция,уже 3 года наверное. За это время можно город построить. Кто не знает,есть еще ЭКОПАРК! с озером,конюшней и тд.

  • 5/5 Игорь �. 6 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We decided to visit the zoo and got a lot of positive. Animals can be safely fed and even touched (not like we have in the Kiev Zoo). Children can ride a pony. (Original) Решили посетить зоопарк и получили море позитива. Животных можно спокойно покормить и даже потрогать (не так как у нас в Киевском зоопарке). Детей можно покатать на пони.
