Starooskol'skiy Zoopark

watching closest parking garage next to Tampa beach

Perfect place! The animals are well-groomed, the territory is clean, the staff are friendly! The variety of animals was a pleasant surprise. The polar bear sways, almost dances, to the music from In the Animal World. A white-breasted bear flirts with visitors. Camels are also cool, as if trained. The child liked the predatory cats, of which there are a lot in the zoo. On behalf of our family, we would like to express our gratitude to the zoo staff for their work!

This is a huge territory with animals, a whole park, well-groomed animals, there are also attractions, the cost separately from the entrance, it seems 300 rubles. per person All day. We drove in to see the animals with the children for a couple of hours, and hung for the whole day. Children are delighted😁

The impression is twofold: on the one hand, the animals are close and you can see them, on the other, their content. Yes, the animals are well-groomed (we have already written about this), BUT predators are in tiny CELLS and this is not a temporary solution. Everybody has a concrete floor. A polar bear has a "pool" measuring 3 × 3 meters, a puma generally in a cage the size of a container. The content of the predators is disgusting. The monkeys were locked indoors. In the reviews, they compared it with the Belgorod Zoo - and so it is much better than the Starooskolsky Zoo, where animals live in better conditions, close to natural ones. And there are more restrictions for visitors. In this zoo there is where our man turned around! And you can feed a wild animal with YOUR food and break the fence in order to be closer to nature and feed the giraffe from the palm of your hand. And feed the brown bear with cookies and honey. Some animals are so accustomed to "feeding" that they run to the grill and visitors. We were in early October and it was not hot. I'm afraid to imagine what's going on in the summer. The cost of an adult ticket is 200 rubles, a bag of food for goats and deer is 150 rubles. Cash only. To do this, at least what kind of ATM to install and find the Internet for it (there is also a Wi-Fi zone).

Nice place! 3-4 hours leisurely spend. With small children, you can safely, there are many places with shade, benches, gazebos, grass. The animals can be fed. There are several toilets on the territory, albeit a la hole, there are many places where to have a snack, to buy a drink - prices are generally adequate: a 60 / 90r milk cocktail, 5 donuts 100r, a barbecue 130/150 rubles. Washstands are everywhere. The animals are all decent. From exotic - zebra, giraffe, rhinos. Deer with huge antlers is awesome !!!!
