There was a very good zoo, a lot of animals, beautiful locations. I can't tell you how it is now, but I hope it only gets better. Visited by a family with a small son in 1999.
an average zoo, but there is some charm in it. Yes, in several places it is completely old or collapsed, somewhere it is not painted, but to be honest, there is still some kind of charm. I do not regret that I visited it
I was at the zoo with my child. He really liked it, impressions and delight for the whole year. There are many interesting animals, carousels..... The territory is well maintained... In general, there is a lot of positivity)))
This year, the Kiev Zoo was especially surprised! Compared to previous years, it has improved noticeably! Convenient new layout of aviaries! There were a lot of animals, it was convenient to watch) I advise parents with children to visit!
In hot weather, most animals hide - it is better to choose cooler days. Ultra-high prices for everything from water to souvenirs. There are many interesting playgrounds in the park, but some of them are severely neglected and even unsafe.
It gets sadder every year. Part of the territory is closed for reconstruction and repair, the appearance and condition of the animals leaves much to be desired. The enclosures are in even worse condition, everything is overgrown so much that the animals are not comfortable not only moving around but also being there. The unfortunate birds fly along two branches, because the ground is overgrown with more than a meter in height, there are also a lot of cracked glasses that are simply glued with patterns, squalor. It's not an understandable joke with toilets, in addition to the old ones at the very ends of the territory, new ones have appeared, closer, but paid (5 UAH), what do you mean? In general, the "reconstruction" will go on until all the money is washed off, and the animals will remain as they lived in squalid cages, for that the central entrance will be "beautiful" (if the repair is completed)
I brought my sister here. She really liked the zoo, she asks for more. And I liked the cleanliness and safety. The variety of animals surprised my sister very much. Let's come back again.
The Kiev Zoo is very cool, I've been there a lot of times! It is diverse and the reconstruction of the zoo is expected to take place, so soon there will be no traces of the last century
There are a lot of exotic animals, it is very interesting for both children and adults. There are a lot of restoration works, but this does not affect the impression
There is ruin all around, some unfinished buildings. Most of the enclosures are not signed. An additional review of a dozen reptiles costs another 20 hryvnia. The primates are in terrible cages, the gorilla is not visible at all behind a double layer of black bars.
