Why it’s worth visiting

Good for a classic family stop: the main alley, the swan lake, the aviary and the big-cats section, in a tidy park in Botanica. Perfect for a Sunday morning with the kids.

The story

The capital's zoological garden, open since 1978 on Bulevardul Dacia. Home to rare and endangered species, a waterfowl lake and an aviary. The classic Sunday outing for families with kids and a one-hour fresh-air break in the city.

What visitors wrote
  • “It is a fairly small zoo, perched on the side of a hill. It is still accessible for wheelchairs as it has extensive walkways without stairs. They're working on bigger enclosures, but most of it is dated. The tigers and lions have space, but for other cats the enclosures are too small, as the ones for the big birds, monkey, squirrels. In the latter one we saw one squirrel clearl…”

  • “Loved the zoo. I loved seeing alot of the animals. I wish Lions and Tigers cages were bigger but apart from that there were great moment. The Owl was supercool. The bear caught a bird flying by for an extra lunch. 30leu to get in was cheap and i bought coffee and fairy floss.”

  • “Nice location , beatiful flora, vegetation , but poorly stuffed with animals , except birds and camels. Monkeys non existing , snakes too. Nice sample of zebras. Fair price for offer (less than 2 euros)”

    Pornim de dimineață la Zoo, cât nu e cald și animalele sunt active. Copiilor le-a plăcut cel mai mult zona cu urși și păsările. Două ore ajung lejer, fără să-i obosim.
