  • Moscow zoo was open in 1864 and now it presents more than 6 000 animals. There is a lot of people in sunny days because some attraction are in the area. Zoo has 2 parts, old and new ones. That to get new you should go upstairs (you will see it) and cross the street by bridge. The Zoo is open since 10 am till 8 pm. The ticket is RUR 80 and children are free.

    The Zoo is funny place for children or for some people. But Moscow Zoo is not nice for me. There are small cages and pavillions where animals live, some pavillions are just dirty, some animals look not good as if they don't eat long time. I don't like the Moscow Zoo. Of course, I understand they try to show many species of animals but the territory is very small. Sometimes I think it's better to present or to sell some animals to other Zoo parks and to concentrate to make good conditions for animals.

    Moscow Zoo: Some fascinating pictures in the Zoo.
  • Tip Rating:
  • Despite of I feel pity to the animals in the Zoo cause of not well keeping conditions for them, it's possible to find some fascinating pictures of animals' families.

  • The Moscow Zoological Park has come a long way from a small zoological garden to the large scientific, educational and conservation institution of today.

    The Moscow Zoological garden was founded by the All-Russia Emperor Society for Acclimatization of Plants and Animals in the middle of XIX century; it was opened for visitors on 13 of February 1964.
    Besides, for those days it was a unique experiment aimed at the creation of the zoo in quite severe climatic conditions, as it was in central Russia.

    Moscow goverment is talking about another place for Moscow Zoo many years - place in the center in Moscow is comfortable for visitors but doesn't allow Zoo to develop.

    Moscow Zoo: Zoo Park
    In this zoo you will see rare animals, such as Ussurisk tiger, or the snow panther, apart from many other exotic ones.
    The ticket has the same price for Russians and foreigners, 100 rubles, or 3 euro. Inside there are cafeterias and the restaurant (traktir) Yolki Palki with good food.
    Metro station to get there is Barrikadnaya.

    Moscow Zoo: Not for animal lovers
    All I have seen in there was miserable. Those people don't have the slightest imagination of a good treatment of animals. Please do not support this. Don't go into that zoo, unless you like to see suffering animals and local visitors feeding bears with sweets!!!! IT SUCKS!!!!!!!!

    Moscow Zoo: Moscow Zoo
    I always like the opportunity to see animals close up whether it's in the wild, underwater, a safari park or in a zoo.

    Moscow zoo definitely isn't anywhere near the quality of San Diego zoo (and too be fair not many are). I've no idea how much money the zoo have but they could do with a bit more to invest in the place. I thought a couple of the animals didn't look in the best of health and a couple of the pens needed a bit of maintenance. This was the exception rather than the rule.

    One thing I didn't like was a couple of moronic visitors who thought it was funny to hit a giraffe with their long balloons as it bent it's neck over the top of the enclosure.

    Despite all that, it's still worth a visit and there are plenty of things to see and I do recommend visiting.
