The ticket price was pleasantly surprised, and for children under 6, in general, it is free. But the cost of feeding per serving is very upsetting 1000 tenge per serving of two twigs. 500 is still fine. There are few places for long-term observation of animals, otherwise you have to walk, and in a good way you need to observe each species longer, then interesting moments from their lives will open up, albeit limited, but not visible with a fleeting inspection. More benches with canopies!
In general, there are many species of animals, but I would like to see more with fish. Descriptions of animals are very complex and not human. It is better to have a couple of interesting facts about each one than to designate a habitat area.
The cleanliness of some animals leaves much to be desired. Some cells are constantly empty.
I would like to see some performances with animals (maybe cooperate with the circus and increase attendance). In general, it is possible and necessary to walk, but to change and instill a new culture of visiting, both for the visitors themselves and the hosts.
Great zoo, the staff is polite. Everyone is trying to help and tell as much as possible. Some animals can be fed. The animals are well-groomed. The ticket is inexpensive, the toilets are located in different parts of the zoo, which is very convenient for visitors with children.
If it was my first time in such zoos, maybe I would have given a higher rating. There are a lot of empty valliers, although this made me happy, because those animals that are in the zoo are kept in terrible conditions. Stink, dirt and everyone is thin. Positive emotions were left only by the giraffe, which can be fed.
In my opinion, the animals are very bored and sad (( the aviaries are very small, the animals are imprisoned in 3-meter cages (birds cannot fly, elephants cannot communicate, lemurs are bored and sleep(( I felt very sad after visiting, I hope the animals will live before the zoo becomes a biopark 🥲
A great place to walk. It is very convenient that you have made an entrance and payment via a QR code, you do not have to stand in queues. There are a lot of people on weekends. The animals are not exhausted, not skinny (which is very pleasing, since 4 years ago everything was different). The children are delighted with the walk.
There are both toilets and a mother and child room for feeding and swaddling.
It is good, especially in summer, when all the animals and birds are in outdoor enclosures. A wide variety of all kinds of animals, ranging from cockroaches, ending with elephants, there is someone to look at 🙂👍
During my youth, I really liked to come here with my parents. It is quite sad to see the condition of the aviaries and animals now, and the broken toilet was as upsetting as possible. Externally, cosmetic work was carried out and it is noticeable, but in general, the condition of the zoo in my opinion has become worse (
One of the best zoos in the former Soviet Union. A large area, lots of animals. There are a lot of rare ones. Cleanliness both along the paths and in the enclosures. The animals look great.
We liked the zoo, both children and adults, it costs 1000tg to feed a giraffe
In addition to animals, there is a separate terrarium and an aquarium with fish separately. All kinds of birds, crocodiles and a hippopotamus with a baby 😊
It is worth visiting , and the territory is not small
I feel sorry for the animals.As for me, the valliers are very small, I would like it to be at least clean for animals.21st century and we keep zoos with cages.
the zoo is good, but the people are terrible, it is necessary to somehow raise the fences higher so that people do not allow themselves rudeness towards animals

The overall impression is very pleasant. I did not expect that the paths are so well planned in a small area that it seems like you are walking in new places). It's very green. The enclosures are spacious, the animals are well-groomed. It is convenient to photograph - it is easy to shoot so that there are no bars and other attributes of bondage in the frame.
The toilets are clean. But some of the signs are not very clear - you will not understand where the entrance is.
There were a lot of children (holidays), there were a lot of entertainers at the entrance, and stalls with goodies
The zoo is big. The animals are in good condition and are well fed. A lot of kids.

A good place to relax for the whole family. New animal enclosures provide an opportunity to get closer and examine them. It is possible to feed the animals with special food under the supervision of zookeepers.
Minus 1 star for annoying photographers, small Parking, not everywhere there is payment by QR, you need to have availability with you
A wonderful zoo, better and more spacious than the Leningrad one!! It is clear that the animals are taken care of, the territory is well maintained, but! Terrible, terrible toilet! Holes in the floor! It's the century before last!
Despite this, I highly recommend visiting the Almaty Zoo 😅😅😅
A large and well-maintained zoo, a huge number of animals, birds and fish.Unfortunately, there is no control over visitors, children climb into aviaries and paw aquariums (
I really liked that you can feed the animals. It's nice to see when animals are in a large space.
One of the disadvantages is that the enclosures are not well maintained.
A good zoo, all the animals have already been released from their enclosures. Wolves, rhinoceroses, elephant, giraffe, etc
. The giraffe is very cool, they feed it directly with twigs, but it smells very strongly, they try to escape from there faster and faster.
There is a terrarium, an aquarium, and monkeys.
There is a maze on the territory for a fee and a house on the contrary. Cool photos are taken in the house.
There are all kinds of tents with drinks and snacks, ice cream. Free toilets.
It's a great zoo. They saw live such animals that they had never seen in their 40 years. All animals are in excellent condition. They're fat. Clean. The territory of the zoo is very large. It is not possible to get around it in 2-3 hours. You can feed giraffes, elephants, and bears from your hands. Take a professional photo. And take a picture of your family on your own. You can eat on any of the gazebo you like with a view of the pond.
I have been going there for more than 12 years, at least 2-4 times every year if there is a reason, almost nothing changes and it pleases me, I like to go there and sketch animals ^^
I think people who have come to our city need to visit it
I really liked the park. It's a beautiful place. The children were very interested. The most impressive thing was the roar of the king of beasts. You will need at least two hours to get everywhere and see everything.
Poor animals! They are kept in terrible conditions! The aviaries are dirty, small! Elephants and bears have especially bad conditions, such large animals and empty, narrow cages! Why torture animals like that?!
One of the best zoos not only in Kazakhstan, in the entire former Soviet Union!
There are a lot of animals, the prices are reasonable, it's just a sight for children!
The animals are well-groomed, clean, the enclosures do not stink. You just need to keep a closer eye on the guests and their children, knocking on the chicks and scaring the animals 😠
A gorgeous zoo.... Sociable elephants and giraffes, an important camel, friendly bears, gorgeous cats: lion, tiger, cougars... Jackals, foxes, wolves are just like in a good fairy tale....Peacocks, crocodiles, ostriches, kangaroos, snakes, flamingos and other wonderful animals and birds....
There are closed rooms on the territory where fish and spiders, snakes are very stuffy in them, there are few people in a lot of places, these rooms are poorly ventilated, there are windows, but there are no handles for opening windows. A paradox. In general, you can go once. If it rains, there are very few places to hide and wait out, as well as places to have a snack.
Super clean and the animals are all different.and many THANKS TO THE ZOO STAFF FOR THEIR HARD WORK ! There is a proposal to the zoo's management: it is necessary to open an application/ account in the Caspian Sea or other bank so that ordinary people can transfer / donate money transfers every day or on Fridays for the so-called zoo
There are many different animals . I especially liked gorillas and giraffes. There are many different birds and even crocodiles.I would like to visit this place again.
We were with the children in winter. I liked the zoo very much, I think in the summer, there's a fairy tale there in general. The animals are clean, well-fed. A very large clean area of the zoo itself. I really liked the fish pavilion👍
The only negative is the stench in the pavilion with a hippo and an elephant, please pay more attention to cleaning. Everyone runs out of there🤢
I really liked the zoo, especially the lions, tigers, elephants, giraffes, and hippos. My son is delighted. My husband and I are too. Take scooters for the child with you, you can do it for yourself, there is a lot of space, it takes a long time to walk. I advise everyone.
It's a beautiful place, but there are a lot of vendors with sweets. And so the Almaty Zoo still remains the hallmark of the southern capital for tourists and guests of our city
We come from Russia to visit our parents and visit the zoo with great pleasure. I am glad that it is developing more and more, something new is appearing. Parking is of course a problem since there are more visitors, but you can also find quite affordable prices in cafes . The children were happy.
One of the coolest zoos. The animals are not hidden behind 10 bars, everything is available, it is visible that there is an opportunity to feed rare animals such as giraffe and elephant. Various snacks and goodies.
There are nice little animals) But, the place is a bit boring: the area is small, there are few animals. And the worst thing is navigation, it's almost impossible to find someone specific, it's easier to get around everything.
