A fairly clean place with very well-groomed and well-fed animals. Some can be petted at your own risk, but most are in safe enclosures to protect particularly incomprehensible "humans".
Entrance is paid, but the price is adequate. Children under 6 years old are free of charge. I advise you to check the working hours on the official website, since they have a day off on Mondays, but everything can change.
The zoo is located almost on the mountainside, so the road will periodically lead to the top, which will seem very exhausting in the heat. It is better to choose a cloudy day to visit. The abundance of greenery does not save you from the heat.
Drinking fountains and water vending machines are available here, but it is better to take water with you. The restrooms were only seen at the entrance, but in any case you will be given a map when you visit, so you can find everything without much difficulty.
There are a lot of animals and birds here. There is someone to look at and stick to the cage for a while. In general, I recommend visiting

An interesting format, this has never been seen before, in fact, it is a Zoo Park, i.e. a large area with many areas for recreation, picnics and walks + a bonus there are many large aviaries with animals.
We arrived by car with Turkish license plates, at the entrance they ask in English "are you tourists?", there was a temptation to say no, then the price would be a penny (they say 20 lira), but I do not speak Turkish, I had to tell the truth, and the price immediately increased many times, although it was still acceptable, 400 lira was given for the car, in which the five of us stopped by.
They give out a card, a little complicated and not always relevant, but in general it helps a lot.
We drove to one of the parking lots and went to wander between the enclosures, there were few people, but I think that this format is very popular with locals on weekends, so it's better to go on a weekday.
Exotic animals are not to be found, elephants, giraffes and hippos are not there, but there are lions, tigers, bears, camels, zebras, deer, etc. The enclosures are spacious, the animals look good, we were at the end of October at 5 pm, it is not so hot and the animals are active, they come to beg and chat, it was interesting. There is a children's area with rabbits, goats, turtles, it looks like you can feed the animals there for an additional fee, but there were no workers anymore, and we just watched.
The park is located on a hillside, the terrain is appropriate, you need to walk up and down between the enclosures, it will not be easy in the sun and heat and it is better to have suitable shoes.
You can't feed the animals, they announce this in Turkish and in Russian. Apparently, our people succeeded in this. But they only said about the working hours in Turkish, we still did not understand how long the park was open, it was written until 19, but after the announcement at 17:45, the Turks abruptly gathered and we decided not to tempt fate and also left before 18.
In general, an interesting place, like a zoo, is, of course, a little weak (therefore a minus star), but in general we had a great walk, I definitely recommend visiting.
