    Often cited as one of the best animal attractions in the Ukraine, Mykolaiv Zoo has 5,500 inhabitants from more than 500 species. Children will be most excited about a visit, getting to see big cats like lions and tigers, as well as a pair of polar bears, African elephants, meerkats, wallabies, wolves and many more of their favourites. The zoo also has the ever-popular farm area where kids can meet and pet goats and gentle Bactrian camels.

    A big zoo with very lovely animals. They seem to be well taken care of. But some cages are too small... Especially for those species that need a lot of space for running, flying etc. 😔 And it smells so badly around here! The zoo should be cleaned more thoroughly. Besides, the buildings look quite old and rustic and really need to be renovated. I hope that the funding will be increased soon and they will be able to improve this place.

    (Translated by Google) One of the best zoo in Ukraine. Huge territory, lots of shade and benches for rest. You can spend half a day at the Zoo. (Original) Один из лучших зоопарке в Украины. Огромная территория, много тени и лавочек для отдыха. Можно пол дня провести в Зоопарке.

    Pleasant experience for my boys. They enjoyed seeing all the animals. I know this is one of the better zoos in Ukraine... natural habitats, etc., and we chose a nice day to visit -- not hot! There is plenty of shade from trees throughout the park. However, you just can't compare to U.S. zoos. The smell is pretty bad and I think more could be done about that. Overall, though, it is a great activity idea in Mykolaiv.

    Great place which needs support. When you look at the prices in ₴, it is pretty much nothing in CAD, USD, Euros My recommendation is if you are far away, buy some tickets and support them in these difficult conditions.

    It's a really nice place to visit! But sometimes there are empty cages with no animals in them. But, it imroves by every year. I hope it will be better in the future.

    Animals were in very poor condition. Many did not have water. Polar bears behaviors were definitely something that needs attention. I felt horrible 😞

    (Translated by Google) We saw it in fb. An invitation to visit the snowy zoo. We waited for the frost to subside and went. DELIGHT! For all years we went for the first time in winter. Everything is in the snow. Animals are waiting for us, missed. Didn't see much (quarantine). Nevertheless, we walked for 2 hours. Sour cream showed us a whole show with eating snow, etc. Thank you all for your work. (Original) Увидели в фб. Приглашение посетить заснеженный зоопарк. Дождались спада мороза и пошли. ВОСТОРГ! За все годы первый раз пошли зимой. Все в снегу. Животные ждут нас, соскучились. Многое не увидели( карантин). Тем не мение гуляли 2 часа. Сметанка нам целое шоу показала с поедание снега и т.д. сСпасибо всем за труд.👍

    (Translated by Google) I liked the city of Nikolaev. Good transport links, many beautiful green areas, interesting museums. And this pleasant impression was spoiled by the zoo. I spoiled it by the fact that tickets for privileged categories, for example, for disabled people, are not provided here. If the zoo is a private shop, then there are no questions, the owner is the master. If this is a state institution, then it is generally not clear what kind of arbitrariness it is. At the box office they told me - come on the first day of the month or some other day, I don't remember, then there will be free admission. Are you kidding, who will go to Nikolaev from another city to visit the zoo for free? This option is suitable for locals, but not for visitors. And there is no need to arrange free days, just make a discounted ticket at half the cost, for example, and then poor people with disabilities can also come to see the animals. (Original) Город Николаев мне понравился. Хорошее транспортное сообщение, немало красивых зеленых зон, интересные музеи. И это приятное впечатление испортил зоопарк. Испортил тем, что не предусмотрены здесь билеты для льготных категорий, к примеру, для инвалидов. Если зоопарк это частная лавочка, тогда вопросов нет, хозяин - барин. Если же это государственное учреждение, тогда вообще непонятно, что это за самоуправство. В кассе мне сказали - приходите в первый день месяца или еще в какой-то день, не помню, тогда будет бесплатный вход. Вы что, издеваетесь, кто это будет ехать в Николаев из другого города, чтобы бесплатно посетить зоопарк? Для местных жителей этот вариант подходит, для приезжих - нет. И не надо устраивать бесплатных дней, просто сделайте льготный билет в половину стоимости, например, и тогда малоимущие инвалиды тоже смогут прийти посмотреть на животных.

  • 1/5 Саша �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Guys, I don't recommend you go there Let's start with the fact that money fights as usual, but you think it's worth it ... But no.... Basically, you will see most of the empty cages, and ducks, I don't think anyone will like it very much, the best animals are closed in quarantine enclosures, the authorities strictly forbid entering there, no matter how you try to persuade into any (we tried) Now the question is ... For what to pay that money ???? For empty cages and a couple of animals ????? If quarantine, then close the zoo for a while !!! Why cheat people ??? In general, I do not recommend that you go there to quarantine !!!!!!! (Original) Ребята, я не рекомендую вам ехать туда😡😡 Начнём с того что деньги дерут как обычно, но ты думаешь что оно того стоит..... Но нет.... В основном ты увидишь большинство пустых клеток, и уток, я думаю это не очень кому-то понравится, самые лучшие звери закрыты в вольерах на карантин, заходить туда начальство строго запрещает, как ни пытайтесь уговорить ни в какую( мы пытались) Теперь вопрос... За что платить то деньги???? За пустые клетки и пару зверушек????? Если карантин, то закройте на время полностью зоопарк!!! Зачем обманывать людей??? Вообщем я не рекомендую вам ехать туда в карантин!!!!!!!

    (Translated by Google) We were last winter, but only now we found time to write a review. An amazingly fun place for both kids and adults. A large territory, a variety of different interesting animals create this interest. We got a lot of pleasure from visiting the aviaries with primates. Bypassed everyone and everything that was possible. I recommend for visiting interested people. And for those who do not like the smells of animals or for 80 UAH thought that they would be transported to the African savannah, it is better to stay at home. (Original) Были прошлой зимой, но только сейчас нашлось время написать отзыв. Удивительно интересное место как для детей, так и для взрослых. Большая территория, многообразие различных интереснейших животных создают этот интерес. Получили море удовольствия от посещения вольеров с приматами. Обошли всех и все, что можно было. Рекомендую к посещению заинтересованным людям. А тем, кому не нравятся запахи животных или за 80 грн думали, что перенесутся в Африканскую саванну 🤣, то лучше остаться дома.

    I've been told this is one of the best zoos in Ukraine. Many different animals, but animals are not groomed and look like they are not fed well enough. Definitely worth going here is you have small kids.

  • 5/5 Hi H. 4 years ago on Google • 84 reviews
    The oldest and the most full zoo since the old Soviet Union collapse. Founded by Leontovych, Ukrainian composer, whose Christmas carol "Carol of the Bells" is the world's jewel. Pleasant and nice place to go with kids and family.

    (Translated by Google) It depends on what to compare, of course, the zoo in Austria is better, but in the cities of Ukraine the best zoo in which I have been. The most important thing pleases the constant changes and improvements in the habitat of animals. This makes me happy. (Original) Смотря с чем сравнивать, конечно в Австрии зоопарк лучше, но в городах Украины лучший зоопарк в котором я был. Самое главное радует постоянные изменения и улучшения места обитания животных. Это радует.

    (Translated by Google) Were at the end of October, many animals were hidden in the premises, due to quarantine, some are closed to the public. In general, a very worthy Zoo, you need to get into it again in the spring, in the summer (Original) Были в конце октября, много зверей спрятано в помещения, из-за карантина некоторые закрыты для посещения. В целом очень достойный Зоо, нужно попасть в него ещё раз весной, летом

  • 4/5 Галина �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I really liked the zoo. Alleys, plantings, clean cages .. I hope, well-fed animals. It's a pity, of course, the wolves that are in captivity .. rushing back and forth .. Maybe there are not enough more comfortable conditions for animals to feel better .. Buildings for their leisure-lazyatt, jump, scratch their claws. We need more investments. But, in general, our good zoo !!!!!!!! (Original) Мне очень понравился зоопарк.Аллеи,насаждения,чистые клетки..надеюсь,сытые животные.Жалко,конечно,волков,что в неволе..мечутся взад вперёд..Может не хватает ещё более удобных условий,чтобы животные лучше себя чувствовали..Построек для их досуга-лазятт,прыгать,зарапать когти .Нужны ещё вложения.Но,вообщем,хороший наш зоопарк!!!!!!!!

    (Translated by Google) 80 UAH admission for an adult, but not very impressions. I do not recommend visiting in winter, African animals giraffes, elephants, hippos in closed aviaries, behind glass, elephants are not visible at all, and the smell is appropriate. Perhaps in the summer when they are in an open area looks better. In general, they expected more. The cages are dirty, the animals are very sorry. (Original) 80 грн вход на взрослого, но впечатления не очень. Зимой посещать не рекомендую, африканские животные жирафы, слоны, бегемоты в закрытых вольерах, за стеклом, слонов вообще не видно ну и запах соответствующий. Возможно летом когда они на открытой территории выглядит по лучше. Вообще ожидали большего. Клетки грязные, животных очень жалко.

    (Translated by Google) I liked it very much !! One note: there is a lone lion on the right side of the zoo (near the enclosure where the wolf is). For a predator of this size, there should be a larger aviary (the animal simply has nowhere to move). Take note !!! (Original) Очень понравилось!! Одно замечание:в правой стороне зоопарка находится одинокий лев(возле вольера,где находится волк). Для хищника таких размеров должен быть больше вольер(животному просто негде двигаться). Возьмите на заметку!!!

    (Translated by Google) PR of the best and most beautiful zoo in the country. Does not match. The exposition is frankly empty. At the entrance to the zoo, there is not even a banal zoo map. It is hidden in the bushes. Far from people. There is no vivarium. Serpentarium too. The primate department is empty and ruined ... Sadness (( (Original) Пиар самого лучшего и красивого зоопарка страны. Не соответствует. Экспозиция откровенно пустая. При входе в зоопарк нет даже банальной карты зоопарка. Она спрятана в кустах. Вдали от людей. Вивария нет. Серпентариума тоже. Отдел приматов пуст и развален... Печаль((
