Tourist attraction Zoo

😠 Absolutely depressing place. The living conditions of the animals were terrible. I have never seen zoo animals run to a human that i saw on this zoo. The animals were completely stressed and hungry. Im also in tears right now when i think about these poor animals. Look at these camels in the pictur... People often mention animals, cages,

    Loved it! I have no idea why it is called 'mini' zoo, because it is not mini. We spent there 2 hours and saw lot of animals. Around 10 lions, lot of tigers, pumas, parrots, rakoons.... And you can see the animals very close. This is Must see in Klaipeda.

    Dirty, sad, desolate, loveless...the most terrible zoo we've ever been to. There can be no question of species-appropriate husbandry. It's not a place you want to be. How the high ratings on Google come about is a mystery to me.

    Beautiful animals inside the zoo.. but this is the only positive! Young cats are taken from their mother just to „entertain” visitors for 10/15 eur.. cages are dirty and small.. nobody was controlling people about feeding and touching animals! And Please help this poor baby kangaroo because it has very bad eye infection!

    A very nice place where you can get acquainted with different species of predators.

    The conditions these animals are kept in are absolutely atrocious. The owners and everyone who contributed to their suffering should be ashamed of theirselves.

    An interesting experience. It would be good to build more spacious enclosures for the animals. There were an incredible amount of tigers, it was a bit surprising. There were also many other felines.The cages felt a little wobbly. In some places panthers were walking in a cage directly above us. Safety was a bit of a concern, especially with small children, because it would be possible for a small child to put his hand in the cage. The tiger cubs were incredibly cute. This is really not small, even though the name suggests so.

    You can see lots of wild animals but the conditions are poor.

    Good parts: it's not a "mini" zoo, the territory is quite large. Lots of large cats and enough other animals to keep you entertained. You can spend 15 min with baby tigers and lions (though the queues may get really long) and you can feed and pet many other animals. Bad parts: cages are really small, there is almost no green in any of the cages, cages are not cleaned often, so the smell is horrible. Visitors can buy bread at the entrance, then feed it to ANY animals. I am not aware of what coatis are supposed to eat, but cake doesn't seem like the proper nutrition for them (see photo).

    Everything looks like in other cements. If you read them then you are prepared. Cash only, don't use wc. Loved baby tigers & lions. For additional 15 eur you can pet them for 10 min.

    There are quite a few animals there, but the view is quite sad. Animals cages are in terrible conditions, either overgrown or stripped down to mud and concrete. It’s quite a depressing place.

    Terrible, all the animals there are depressed, smells like dead animals. Everything is old and dirty It's a pity, and the ticket price is 12€. Not worth it !

    Many different animals and impressive amount of felines. You can also buy bread to feed them. Great place to go with kids

  • 5/5 Antanas S. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best zoo which visited.

  • 5/5 Mari A. 4 years ago on Google
    Before came there was reading that it is place with a dirty cages and unhappy animals... Those was wary a bit before trip. But in reality did not met those bad expectations. Clear big cages with grass in those, and kinda tunnels to get animals to another cage while exact is cleaned up... We came in time when animals were just fed up, so we did not met any suffering hungry individual... Just relaxed, satisfied species getting to fall in aftermeal sleap. The only thing that a bit interfered, was very secured cages - somewhere 2, but somewhere 3 layers of mesh. It was hard to take a good pictures of animals...BUT - in my opinion it is really necessary, because when you see resting "kitty" with any paw very close to the mesh, there is a big desire to pet ... and it is really dangerous, so 3layers of mesh in this point of view is really necessary. We loved this zoo and are planning to get back one day. Recommend!

    Absolutely depressing place. The living conditions of the animals were terrible. I have never seen zoo animals run to a human that i saw on this zoo. The animals were completely stressed and hungry. Im also in tears right now when i think about these poor animals. Look at these camels in the picture. Their humps were completely emty and they were so thin. Thats not ok.

😐 Been there twice, but the last visit made me sad. I am not going back there anytime soon. At first it was like a private family Zoo, cozy and simple approach. There were less cages and some harmless animals were running free within the territory. Then they changed status and became official Zoo. How...
