Very good price for entrance €6 each. Very long roads and wide on each side well kept animals. Also there are rooms with species' and large room with parrots, cockatiel and budgies also lovebirds. There are self cleaning toilets which I must say they were really clean. Staff welcomed us and showed us the way.we were first persons to arrive so we felt great on our own with loads of snow among us and snowing too.....it,s a nice place to visit and all it cost for taxi from central Bucharest to zoo was 40 lei around €8.

This was a horrible place! Do not visit this place, do not waste your time, there are far more better places to visit in bucharest then this place, filled with animal abuse. you made me change my review full of thruths because its not a review of opinion, isnt that what reviews are? Do not visit this place, do not waste your time, this is a place of animal abuse. If you want to see a place that will break your heart from what you see...sure little kids love it, but dont know the difference. Peta Peta Peta...now ive changed my review for you. Stay away from this zoo, their website is false, this is not what you will see.

Animals are very close and easy to see. Enclosures a bit small, but animals look happy and in good condition. Jaguar, lions, tigers, lynx, wolves. Good selection. We spent almost 2 hours here. Its a long way out of the city for a small zoo, but definitely worth a visit
Very disappointed in there not being a gift shop ! I love a souvenir.

I went to visit this zoo with my family but we were kind of disappointed, the zoo is pretty average, they don't have an Elephant and overall not so many animals like the other zoo's we visited, I would say it's not a top attraction in the city.

We have visited Bucharest Baneasa Zoo in May. It is the perfect weather this zoo garden and all the gardens in Bucharest, for it is not too hot yet as the summer is about to begin, neither cold like in November and so on. This only problem we had was that all the animals were sleeping. So, if you want to know when to visit the Bucharest Zoo, let's say never do this at about 13 PM. The animals are quite fine, you have a lot of space, you have lions, tigers, exotic birds to see, also camels, crocodiles, snakes. Not to mention that after visiting the Zoo you can have some wee ones or anything else you want to eat and some beer outside the garden, just across the street. A ticket for an adult is 13 RON, which is 3 EUROS.

The place is small, there are not too many animals, but it's clean and peaceful (and ridiculously cheap). I paid a visit on a hot day with my two daughters (3,8 and 5) and it was a very pleasant experience. There are big trees, benches, some peaceful music, clean enough toilets (no fee) and wooden children carriages (also free). Small as it is, we spent over 3,5 hours inside and we did't get bored.

If you have some extra time to kill in Bucharest, have a look to Bucharest Zoo. Its not huge but have some interesting animals. A section is dedicated to reptiles and fishes, and a section for small birds. It is clean and have lot of benches to sit around. it is far from city center and can be reached by taking auto bus No. 301 from piata romana and stop name is "gradina zoologica" or you may take taxi,may cost around 30-35 RON from city center. The entrance fee is 13 RON and reduced fee for students 6.5 RON.
What i don't like is addition ticket for the camera 13 RON but still cheap and manageable.
If you have small children, they will enjoy.!

We recently went here for the afternoon as my daughter works with animals and likes to compare zoos. The zoo is not very big and has a very confusing layout, there are no maps available either as leaflets or on boards throughout the zoo. The conditions for the animals seemed good, with lots of enrichment but many of the cages were empty. The toilet we used was disgusting, we couldn't use a different one as most of them were out of order! The lady on the ticket desk was reading when we arrived and seemed unhappy at having to stop reading her book to serve us, I asked her a question and had to repeat it three times as she was just ignoring me - she didn't indicate she didn't understand she just wanted us to go away.
If you like zoos and have spare time this will while away a couple of hours especially if you have children as there seemed to be a couple of decent play areas (we only had adult children with us).

Poor if you compare with other locations in western Europe. The place has no designated parking available. We went on a Saturday and we were directed by some men to park in the woods, we paid and there was no receipt. There is no place where you can buy snacks or drinks once you go inside. The animals are hiding if it is a hot day. Some of them are difficult to spot because of the poor way the cages were made. All in all, you can give it a try if the the weather is nice. The small children will enjoy it.
