I wasn't expecting the settlers kept in such a good condition. A very good opportunity to visit liger, snow leopard and other original wild animals.
There are "ligras" - mix of lion and tiger and even "liligras" = lion+ligra. White beers swimming pool is really great - they make real attraction with empty plastic 10-litres bottles.
the zoo is easy to find and a nice escape from the city if you have an hour or two. cages feel like cages and seem small, but there's a huge range of animals. there are buildings where they host the animals that can't take the cold, and i went into 2: one was great, with the tapirs, zebra and a ton of monkeys in nice enclosures. the other one was kind of miserable, stinking and cramped. there's also a small area next to the entrance with some reptiles.it was cool to see some arctic wildlife in siberia. worth it if you have a few hours to kill in novosibirsk, but not a must-see.
They have an incredible habitat for primates. The polar bears are awesome and so are the tiger/lions!!! It is a wonderful zoo.
Huge territory, amazing decorations. Lots of species, some of them are extremely rare. Strongly recommended:).
Beautiful place for walking with children. Big area. Lions, white bears, elephants and other animals and birds are there.
There are many different animals and attractions. The park with a Zoo is large. It is situated in a great place on a very large square.
This zoo is surprisingly well kept and is a great place to spend an afternoon (on a summer day) with your partner or kids. Whereas not a must-see this place clearly provides a great environment for relaxation after a potentially stressful city tour in Novosibirsk.PS: they have ligers (a cross bread between tigers and lions)
Not that I've seen many zoos live, but I've read of and seen on TV many of them. So I can assure you that you should vist this one even if you were to NY or London zoos just for comparison. And if you haven't visited NY, London or Moscow zoos, then you jast have to visit this to be completely amazed and get a lot of positive emotions.
This is definitely one of the best zoos I have ever been to (and I have been to very many). The animals here are unique and very interesting. The rules for feeding animals are very poor with many people feeding them lollies and ice cream. A few children were feeding the bears, cookies, which was quite sad to see as it can very well damage their health. A monkey was given ice cream and bananas by visitors and others were given sugar lollies.. very disappointing. The Liger (gross between lion and tiger) is definitely something you must see.
