"Maksimir Park is a large English-style park in Zagreb, established in 1794. It includes several lakes, pavilions, and the Zagreb zoo, offering a relaxing green space for visitors." - Annalisa Leopolda Cavaleri
"For a wooded escape within city limits, take the tram a few stops east of Ban Jelačić Square and meander around Maksimir, the oldest public park in Zagreb. Opened back in 1794, it’s almost as big as Manhattan’s Central Park, and elegantly landscaped in the English style. Stroll around the five lakes (don’t jump in, as swimming is prohibited), tour the historic pavilions, and visit the small but sweet Zagreb Zoo. The park gets jam-packed on warm weekends, but it’s large enough that you can still get lost in its woodsy wilds no matter the crowds."
Beautiful park in Zagreb easily accessible with the tram from the city center. Visit the zoo, rent a boat, or enjoy one of the multiple coffee shops and restaurants located in the park. Discover both the city park and the forestry area near the back for a relaxing break from the city.

A green escape in Zagreb
Although Zagreb as a city didn’t quite capture my heart, I have to admit its green areas are wonderful. I really enjoyed a morning run in Park Maksimir — peaceful, spacious, and full of fresh air. A perfect spot to recharge.

Park Maksimir is a peaceful escape from the city, surrounded by nature and perfect for long walks. It’s well connected to the city center and very popular with locals and families. The park has playgrounds, free toilets, and a calm, relaxing atmosphere—ideal for a day outdoors.

Very pleasantly surprised to visit this huge green space near the city impressed by glorious historical background. We have good time strolling through the garden taking a leisurely walk. There is something for everyone here. We also like the lake and was happy to many ducks in there too

Great news place for a walk in the shade on a hot day. An oasis near the city centre it’s possible to roam for hours exploring the paths and lakes. Great to see the wild terrapins sunbathing. Enough cafes around to keep refreshed

We went there for a walk with our dog. I was surprised by how well maintained the whole place is. It’s an amazing park and actually we’re glad we found it. It’s a spectacular place one should visit when in Zagreb.

Large beautiful park with a nice playground.
The only issue is the tons of mosquitoes everywhere, so you better remember your anti mosquitoes lotion :)
Other than that, a great experience for the family
