Despite stating they are open all week on their website, they are closed on Mondays, as we discovered only after we made the trip all the way there (not a short journey), which was disappointing. We arrived on a different day that same week and did go inside. It's not a large zoo, most cages seem to hold only a single animal, most of which seemed bored, tired and overheated. Although the place is generally nicely designed, especially the Zerba water coolers, it makes me wonder what they were thinking when most of the animals are placed in grounds, surrounded by a tight gate, then large bushes and then - yet another gate, practically making sure no child could have any view of the animal inside unless climbing and then jumping on one of the benches or raised up by their parent. It could have been designed to give youngsters more access to the animals, since that is the main attraction, after all. Although the sign in the entrance had a Giraffe, none was seen in the Zoo itself and overall, there isn't too large a selection of animals. Still, a nice place to visit for an hour or two with children and not too expensive, just make sure they're open.

The Zoo is a little run down but still a very worthwhile experience. A decent spread of animals from around the world but not very large so you can stroll round and see everything in a couple of hours. If you take photos with your phone it is free, but you have to buy an additional ticket (15 Lei) for a proper camera Excellent value for money.

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.
