Almaty Zoo

Great place to spend time with kids. Free entry for children under 6 years.

We went during winter and many cages were empty as they were transferred to winter pavillion.

Almaty Zoo is a fun place to visit with many animals like tigers, bears, and monkeys. It's a nice spot for families to spend time together and learn about different creatures. The zoo offers a pleasant environment to enjoy nature and observe various animals up close.

Nicely maintained. Get to see most of the animals here. Weekdays very less crowd and selective outlets are open. Very close to the adjacent amusement park.

Foreigners must visit the zoo to experience the exotic animals of Central Asia

We had the best time. We went in the winter. It was magical to see the animals in snowy conditions. Highly recommended!

Almaty's Zoo is worth to visit by every tourist and guest. The territory is enormous and try to spend a day there. A huge number of animals can't be seen in several hours, we have been there just 3 hours and could see only 1/4 of zoo, what was so pity. There are a lot of zoo's advantages: first, it is comfortable for animals to live in the zoo and for visitors to walk. Second, the public bathroom is available in many places. Third, there are good conditions for disabled people and children. Fourth, the main point of zoo is called Samal. It is a wooden place with table, chairs, cold and hot water, and these all are FREE for all to see.

Surprisingly well organised zoo with comfortable entrance and great area for walks and rest.
Animals are living in quite wide and spacious areas, which is good to mention unlike many ex-Soviet capitals zoos.

Various cafes and kiosks are good to buy things and drinks when it's hot.

However not all toilets are working within the zoo.

Also, I would propose to put bands with names and parent's phone number on each entering kid because many children get lost and you hear them crying for Mom.

İn general, absolutely must-visit place when you're in Almaty with family and kids.

Very good place to take your kids and family on holidays. Here you can see mostly all kinds of animals, birds, insects. Tickets cost not so expensive. But if you to save your money, you can buy e ticket on Chocolife.me web site.

I was surprised that Almaty zoo had been changed a lot. The situation is getting really better than it was several years ago. All the animals look well-cared. There are a lot of new construction at the territory.

Entrance about $3 per person and absolute worth it, inside free washrooms and chairs for sitting. Almost all kind of animals from all continents are there. Best place to spend a time with family, friends.

Beatiful place, order and clear around. Many trees - old, majestic and noble. Absolutely green place. Perfect zone for family rest! Big amount of animal, and all in perfect status and conditions. Price 700 tg for adults, for old people and babies till 7 for free.
