Taken into consideration that it was March, a very good amount of animals were on display. The entrance and parking fees were next to nothing compared to how much there was to see. As a minus, it was hard to tell which of the "animal houses" were open and which were closed. Also some animals appeared to be in slightly poor and tight conditions (however, this may just be due to the winter time) All-in-all, would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Riga and looking for a cheap and entertaining way to spend the day.

Not up to 'western' standards. But overall not bad.
Entry is very cheap. So, something you might want to visit, if you have a spare day in Riga.response / report this review -

The price is totally worth it. In the winter season there are not a lot of animals. We went on a working day and were the only one in the zoo. Although it was a nice visit

What a place..!!! Loved the whole experience.. Its very easy to access with tram 11 dropping at Mezaparks - right in front of the zoo.. The ticket is priced at 3€ which is fine They have a wide variety of animals The two humped camel.. Multiple varieties of owls, monkeys, insects, frogs, husbandy animals, wild and exotic birds etc.. Looks like the animals are well kept and looked nourished.. The temperature was also taken care for sensitive and tropical animals.. The frozen lake view was breathtaking at the altar Must visit if you are in Riga..

Good medium size zoo with enough animals to entertain you for atleast 2 hours. The zoo itself is not really big but just as big as you'd expect for that price. The animals are kept in large enough cages with much room indoors as outdoors. They are building some new residents for some new animals at the moment and working hard to clean up the place because right now it can sometimes look a bit plain. The variety of animals for the size of zoo is excellent. You have multiple residents for all types of reptilians, fish, birds and the more bigger animals like giraffes and hippo's. There is also a little zoo for the children with chicken, goats and sheep. So would recommend this zoo if you are in the neighborhood or visiting Riga for a few days because it's just a 30 minute tram ride away.

A very fun stroll in a very weird park. It's located in a forest so green is not an issue, but animal treatment is: the capibaras (3 of them) have a bigger cage than the 2 hippos. Half the animals seem fine and happy, the rest seems very down, locked up, and put in a space way too small. The staff at vending stalls will yell at you if you don't speak the local language.

From all the amazing things and places we saw in Riga, this is by far the saddest and the worst. Enclosures are small, animals in distress, filthy water in pools On top of that - in one corner they have on display animal skins, wolf pelts, ivory items, dead snakes in jars etc. Unbelievable! Bitter feeling after the visit. All other places in Riga were very well taken care of. They should definitely do something about poor creatures they have in this sad institution.

Had a great time there. Animals looked comfortable. They have some nearly extinct breeds and are clearly doing their best to help them survive.

Great Zoo! Animals are living in good home, it's a big-big park. Lemurs are so cute, the house of giraffes is new and so interesting to visit it! This Zoo is amazing place to have time with kids or without them)

A nice family friendly place, and a place to see a bunch of exotic animals. Looks decent, doesn't seem to treat animals badly. The tropical house is great! Would want to of that!

This zoo seems to be doing good with the limited resources they have. What makes them special is the extra effort they go to that costs them nothing. Such as the fire during January to enable families to have a BBQ. We just took marshmallows and had fun with them. An excellent day out with kids and there are three good places to warm up as you walk around during the winter cold - Giraffe building, Tropical building and the lovely Cafe building near the entrance. Tram 11 gets you there in relaxed fashion.

As there is no proper zoo in whole Lithuania, this was my first time visiting one. The zoo is quite nice and relatively easy to navigate. It's best to visit it at the summer because not all exhibitions are open during winter time.

I went there during the winter and will probably return again to see what it's like during summertime as I've been told there that it changes depending on the seasons. The zoo is quite large, my favourite part of it was the tropical area which was absolutely stunning.
Some of the cages, for example the giraffe ones, seemed too small to me (though I'm no zoologist).response / report this review
