The ZOO itself is fine but the difference in animal species and the conditions they live inside are just poor. It needs a lot of work like stairways, disabled paths, tiled footways and so on. As well it needs direction signs for easier access and a better car park. Our little daughter still enjoyed the day there
Must see place to see where the poor animals live
The Bitola Zoo, is founded on 1 May 1950 with the help of the Skopje's, Zagreb's, Belgrade's and Subotica's zoos.
The zoo plays a significant role in the sphere of social living, especially in the sector of education as well as the protection of certain animal species. Ever since its establishment as an institution in 1950, the zoo has been constantly improving the conditions in order to meet European standards, but these standards have not yet been met. In 2004, a number of activities have started, aimed at improving the conditions in which the animals live and raising the educational character of the zoo.
Fine place to take your children.
The place is in very bad condition and not many animals to be seeing.
Poor standards for the wild animals
Great contact with animals, parts old, parts renovated, "typical Balkan style", overall interesting for foreigners (that's the right word), although despite visible improvements, need to do more for animal welfare!!! (Feeding them as people write here might not be a great idea either although tthey might partly depend on it, dunno). Might look cruel to sensitive folks but understandable given local level of development. Visiting might support the animals in the end and the ZOO tries hard I believe
Its okay I have seen better..
Treba povekje grizha za zhivotnite inache se drugo e super
Can be better
Worst thing ever nothing in there to recommend. The staff was really mean and the animal very sad.
Terrible experience, extremely small, the animals are in kept very poor conditions.
Small but very nice zoo. It's all more natural and uncommercialized so great place for family afternoon. The only thing missing is restaurant inside zoo and at least commercials in city to get more visitors. Btw, we actually fed bear from 1m distance!! First he has shown us cracker and when we picked it up, he calmly opened mouth to let us know where to put that small piece :) Really unique experience that cannot happen in bigger zoos. Keep it that way.
