    A huge difference from what it was a few years ago. Still needs a bit of touch up work, but it got to a point where the animals arent suffering any more. Not the Berlin zoo, or Loro parque, by any means, do not expect that, but its a cozy little zoo that youll spend a half day of your time very pleasurably. Recommended in spring or summer. Open all year round.

    During my recent visit to the renewed Kaunas Zoo, I found myself thoroughly enchanted by the thoughtful improvements made to the facility. The inside terrariums, in particular, stood out as a highlight of the entire experience. These enclosures were not only aesthetically pleasing but also provided an immersive journey through diverse ecosystems. The attention to detail inside the terrariums was evident, with each habitat carefully designed to mimic the natural environment of the inhabitants. It was a treat to witness various species coexisting harmoniously, and the educational signage added depth to the overall experience, offering insights into the behaviors and adaptations of the animals. One aspect that truly stole the spotlight for me was the monkey exhibit. The primates displayed a remarkable range of behaviors, from their playful antics to their more contemplative moments. It was evident that the zookeepers had gone to great lengths to create an environment that allowed these creatures to express their natural behaviors, and the result was a captivating spectacle that left a lasting impression. Moreover, the overall ambiance of the zoo was welcoming and well-maintained. The pathways were clean, and the landscaping added a touch of tranquility to the surroundings. The staff, too, appeared knowledgeable and passionate about the animals under their care, providing valuable information and answering questions with enthusiasm. In conclusion, the renewed Kaunas Zoo exceeded my expectations. The inside terrariums offered a fascinating journey through different ecosystems, and the monkeys, with their charming personalities, added a layer of excitement to the visit. It's clear that the efforts put into the renovation have paid off, creating a more enriching and enjoyable experience for visitors of all ages.

    The zoo is not that bad, but in my opinion some cages were too small. I didn't feel good watching animals in small cages.

    (Translated by Google) It would be more fun if all the animals melted, but they decide when to show them off (Original) Smagiau būtų, jei visi gyvūnai išlystu, bet juk jie nusprendžia kada jiems pasirodyti😀

    Nice zoo in the center of Kaunas. Especially the different levels are original. Animals have nice and spacious living spaces which are well maintained and clean. There are several places to sit with children and to eat or drink something. Ticket prices are not expensive.

    (Translated by Google) The zoo is our prestige in Kaunas! I live in the islands, but now I have been disappointed when I visit. It took a whole beast ... we didn't see anything good ... but it wasn't the time. The beginning of October ... nothing to want. I am so glad that we Kaunas have our own zoo. I hope he still shows what he is worth! (Original) Zoologijos sodas yra musu Kauno prestizas! As gyvenu salimais,bet dabar apsilankius likau nusivylus. Truko visu zveriuku...nieko gero nemateme... taciau ir laikas buvo ne tas. Spalio pradzia...ner ka noreti. Siaip dziaugiuosi,kad mes kaunieciai turime savo zoologijos soda. Tikiuosi,kad jis dar parodys ko vertas!

    (Translated by Google) It would be great if the state and support funds allocated funds for the renovation of the garden, more integration and technologies that attract people, because the garden is almost empty and there are no people, after all, animals provide such positive energy, and because animals are in captivity, but funds are already allocated to keep them. in good conditions. I also noticed that there is no longer a slide to go down the hill to another part of the ZOO, because it was so much fun for the kids. I would like to add: thanks for the answer, I am very glad to hear that the ice cream is moving :) (Original) Būtų puiku ,jei valstybė ir paramos fondai skirtų lėšų sodo atnaujinimui, daugiau integracijos ir technologijų kurie pritrauktų žmones,nes sodas beveik tuščias ir nėra žmonių, juk gyvūnai ,suteikia tokios teigiamos energijos, o kadangi gyvūnai yra nelaisvėje ,bet jau būtų skiriamos lėšos laikyti juos gerose sąlygose. Taip pat pastebėjau,jog nebėra čiuožyklos nusileisti nuo kalno į kitą ZOO sodo dalį,juk vaikams taip smagu būdavo. Papildau: ačiū už atsakymą , labai džiugu girdėti,kad ledai juda:)

  • 5/5 Itry s. 1 month ago on Google • 15 reviews New
    I liked the zoo. I got more than I expected for 10 euros. I went there a couple of days with my girlfriend and when we entered the zoo we thought that we weren't going to see much because it was cold. But we were wrong! Lots of animals were inside a large building which looked very cool from the inside and all the animals inside it looked well taken care of. I am sad that these animals are held captive tho. All in all the zoo was great and we liked it. Although we didn't like one thing: the zoo closed on 8pm but the building (I am sorry I don't know what it's called) that you can get inside closes on 7pm. Oh and there is a small jungle inside the building where birds fly above you!!

    Very cute zoo in middle of Kaunas! Parking was available quite near the entrance, ice cream and other beverages on the way of the zoo trail. When sunny, mostly all animals could be seen ☺️

    Huge. But animals are far away. Feeding times are not well advertised. Great for a day away, but not so great for short visits.

    I think it should be moved outside the city where more space is available and they could rent this premium spot in city to attract a lot of funds to make overall better zoo

  • 4/5 Giedrius M. 5 years ago on Google
    A nice park with old trees and... animals. Some animal shelters are renovated and some are not. Experience also includes distinctive smell of each animal :) Nice place in general.

  • 4/5 Rytis B. 5 years ago on Google
    The zoo needs better funding. Some animals are not treated well. Snow leopard looked like he was overheating in the summer. Not everything was bad tho'

  • 5/5 Indresh K. 4 years ago on Google
    We had an amazing time over here at the zoo. It was not so crowded at the time we went. The zoo is located behind Kaunas University of Technology. The zoo is open from 9 am to 7 pm in summer and from 9 am to 5 pm in winters depending on the weather. The last time to buy the ticket and enter the zoo is 2 hours before the closure of the zoo. The zoo hosts a variety of species which live in the Arctic area. There are many types of cats, birds and there are African lions also. You can typically spend about 2-3 hours at the zoo. Have a good time when you visit.

  • 5/5 Evaldas B. 5 years ago on Google
    The biggest and oldest zoo in Lithuania. It is over 80 year old. Some of animals lived there for a really long time. It is not too big but there is a lot of animals to be seen. Zoo is divided into two levels upper and lower. You can find different variety of animals there from predators of safari to wolfs from arctic. You can also find really rare animals like bison and etc. I spend there about 2-3 hours and saw most of the animals.

  • 5/5 Vladimir L. 5 months ago on Google
    Visited the zoo right after reconstruction and was pretty surprised. Now it is a modern and nice place where you can spend a whole day. Vast territory for lots of different animals. Highly recommended to visit, specially with kids.

  • 4/5 Oksana Z. 5 months ago on Google
    The zoo is pretty nice but most of the animals are afraid of cold, so the biggest part of the cages is empty. This is why I recommend to visit it later, may be in spring...

  • 3/5 Rajib H. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice zoo. Enormous area. There is s zone for kids playing. Dont visit at mid noon, because lion, wolf , chita sleep at that time, you will see they are sleeping. Take marks bcz stink of some animals difficult to bear n take 1 euro n 5 cent coins to take souvenir. Just before closing time no checking or ticketing,,,so you can a quick -free rider-.😆😆😆🙄

    in winter there is nothing to do, barely any animals and outside there are cages for tigers and other exotic animals that are not good in such lithuanian winter weather ( and obviously because of that cages are empty) and no animals that are good in such climate- bears, wolves, foxes etc.

    The renovated zoo looks amazing. We came here during the winter and expected not to see any animals. However, the animals were active, they looked well taken care of. The staff looked happy when taking care of the animals. Will definetly come back here when its warmer
