Belgrade Zoo

I am originly from Belgrade, and for better or for worst I decided to visit the zoo after many years. In the meantime I traveld a lot and saw many other zoos, because it gives me the chance to see the animals that I coldn't otherwise. The small cages overcrowded with animal, very obivously hungry animals ( some of the fed smoki and popcorns ), lack of staff, dirty cages with not enough flora for the animals... omg.Also false advertising of certain animals . Just to name few puma , red fox , silver fox were not there. I never experienced that. But again, good for the animals that they were not there. The issue can really be solved by having less animals and creating bigger cages. And ofc feeding them properly. I was glad to see some animals... but it also made me feel sad that i can't help them. I hope something will change 🙏

An expansive zoo with numerous different animals to view in numerous different enclosures. Some of the enclosures do feel especially cruel - not very big or exciting for the animals. There are a lot of animals though, so you can easily spend several hours here!

Need to improve living space for chimpanzees. Really, the concrete and space looks like a prison. The rest is great.

I don’t want to make this too long, as I have too many things to say really. The animals are in okay care, it needs to be appreciated compared to most zoos, but there is still room to improve, main concern is lack of space for medium or large birds and the hippos. The zoo is clean, it’s well taken care of, and animal cages are in good care too. Plenty of animal species, was surprised by quite a few. I’m not sure about the animals diets though, I’ve seen a lot of baby chicks in the cages, dead but not eaten (5+ in every bird cage), can’t say more about it, not expert at all. The biggest problem I had was with the parking, besides the lack of spaces, beware of the parking employee when you pay at the end, has very bad attitude towards tourists, and denied us payment with card for 5 minutes, with plenty bad comments, even though the option was available all along, he just didnt want to. I truly have my respects for the employees of this zoo, they truly do their best, compared to the resources available, I’m sure.

The zoo is in a beautiful location, inside a park with some amazing views of the city. Unfortunately, the zoo itself feels quite sad. Many animals are kept in cages that are far too small, and it doesn’t seem like their well-being is a top priority. The place could be so much more, but right now it feels outdated and lacking proper care.

This is a nice zoo to take your family with. There are hundreds of animals from birds, to giraffes and snakes! There is also a petting area where you can pet a few of the goats in an area. There are vending machines for a nice drinks and ice cream for a hot day. There is a small building with a few animals like snakes and pythons and another one for monkeys and chimps.

The zoo is well thought out and quite large with a large selection of animals, the problem is that they don't have an elephant and there is a lack of parking within the zoo which is full at peak times and if you park in the city and are 2 minutes late you will get a fine. 🙂 as well as me

I didn’t expect to enjoy the Belgrade Zoo this much! It may not be the biggest zoo in the world, but it’s full of life, charm, and some truly amazing animals. From powerful lions and playful monkeys to colorful parrots and curious reptiles – there’s always something to make you smile. What impressed me the most was how clean and well-maintained everything is. Even with lots of visitors around, the paths, enclosures, and picnic areas looked spotless. There are toilets and drinking fountains in many places, which is such a thoughtful detail, especially when the weather gets hot. It’s also such a comfortable place to walk around – you can see everything in a couple of hours without feeling rushed. Being right in the city center, it’s perfect for a quick escape from the noise and traffic. I loved learning that the zoo is home to some special residents like the rare white lions and Muja, the world’s oldest living alligator – what a legend! Overall, it’s a warm and welcoming spot where you can relax, connect with nature, and leave with a smile. If you’re in Belgrade, this little gem is definitely worth a visit.
