I liked the zoo, especially the aviary with flamingos. Some of the enclosures were empty. You can also visit the dinopark, payment and entrance are separate. It hosts various workshops for children.

The space is very well arranged. The zoo is compact but interesting. There are many pavilions, which saved us when visiting in the heat. The Exotic Pavilion Is Super!

It is beautiful and interesting to walk with children in the zoo area, but our children look at the carousels more than at the animals, it is clear that the carousels are part of the financing of the zoo for today, yesterday and the near future, but I want the zoo to become its own financing without attracting carousels.
This can be done with the help of additional investments in breeding rare breeds of animals and subsequent sale to partners of other countries. Also, reduce government spending on zoo maintenance by investing in autonomous-type equipment for the maintenance and maintenance of animals.

Overall, I liked it, but it's far from the best zoo I've been to. Due to its obsolescence, the dinopark must be demolished and the place for animals expanded.

I love such cozy zoos. Old, battered (it is clear that repairs are being done somewhere), but this does not reduce its charms. The animals can be observed at close range. A wide variety of animals.

The zoo is of course very good. Our family has something to compare with both Minsk and Mogilev and Russian ones. We really like this one. There are many different animals, all well-groomed, a large territory, and a huge selection of animals. We like both adults and children the same way. Visit this wonderful place.We recommend buying a ticket to the dolphinarium and a ticket to visit the zoo will be much cheaper. We recommend this Zoo. You and the children will be impressed.

Nice zoo. The animals are well-groomed, well-fed and beautiful. There are many different types of animals and birds, reptiles and fish.
I was on a weekday, mothers with their babies came to the zoo with me. It seems to me that everyone liked it.
On the territory of the zoo there are cabins of toilets. I saw them near the terrarium, perhaps they are in other parts of the zoo.
At the entrance, you can buy treats for birds and animals, they will be happy to help you enjoy feeding))

We visited the zoo in Minsk and Moscow , I liked it more in Minsk, the price there is 450 rubles, and in Moscow 1000 rubles. I recommend visiting the zoo in Minsk, there is also a dolphinarium, I do not advise, there is nothing to watch and waste your time for 30 minutes, there is not even a performance and an additional 500 rubles.

We visited the zoo. The impression of course is the same from what I saw. Animals don't have water, and if they do, it's all green. And it's hot outside. Ordinary people are hot, but imagine animals in their fur coats.
Also, many animals do not have grass in their enclosure.
There is nothing to say about bison here... There is little place for them there, the poor bison tried to somehow get grass behind the fence.
And what shocked us was that we saw RATS in the bear's enclosure! They climbed through the hole to him, took food and ran back through the hole. They also made their way through the hole to the lemur, which is located next to the bear. When the lemur saw them, he got scared and climbed up.

I really liked it, I went with my daughter and my wife. A lot of animals, a lot of interesting things. You can feed the animals with purchased food at the zoo. I advise you to go. The price is acceptable.

The idea is wonderful! Everything is fine! But....the condition of animals and reptiles leaves much to be desired! I was at the zoo in Baranovichi, where the animals feel better and "smell" less! And here, right on the way to the place, the nose wants to hide in a turtle from discomfort ..... It's a pity for the tummies....

I did not expect such a beautiful zoo, how everything is conveniently arranged, well-groomed animals, an interesting terrarium, there are food outlets and a toilet. I liked everything very much, especially bear, red deer, owl, llama, lion and lioness, Cameroonian goat, piglets, birds. I advise everyone to visit. Lots of positive emotions.

The zoo is small, but quite clean, the pets practically do not smell (in the summer heat)
There is a semi-spacious children's park on the territory, where they charge double the price for riding frogs. Like, the first time didn't go away.
The mustachioed uncle on trampolines is funny, joking, but at the same time he monitors the safety and mood of the child.

A very good zoo, lots of different animals. There is a dinopark in the zoo where you can see dinosaurs. There is a good free parking near the zoo.

My attitude towards zoos is ambiguous. On the one hand, I want wild animals to live in nature, not in a cage. But on the other hand, endangered species can be preserved in this way, and zoo animals will not survive in the wild. I try to visit zoos in different cities to assess the conditions of detention. The Minsk zoo is not the worst of those where I have ever been. It is noticeable that the workers are trying. The animals have a lot of varied food. The animals look healthy and well-groomed. Only the lioness had a strange look, as if she was allergic or pregnant. The lion living with her is pretty well-groomed. I was puzzled by the size of many aviaries. Some animals have little space, but a huge area has been allocated for the dinosaur zone. I ran out of the terrarium right away when I saw a huge turtle sitting in a tiny terrarium. In other zoos, such turtles live in an outdoor enclosure. The Central Asian turtles also have a small terrarium and I did not find UV lamps for them or at least some kind of shelter... I keep turtles at home myself and have an idea of what ter should be like. The hedgehog lives in a tiny cage and runs from corner to corner in a panic, he also has nowhere to hide from people and so every day. It is signed that the hedgehog is African, but it looks like an ordinary forest hedgehog. I understand that employees probably have a lot of things to do and maybe their hands haven't reached it yet, but these are small things that generally don't cost huge budgets and don't take a lot of time. I liked the dinosaur area, although it is designed for children. But my inner child was happy. Overall, an ambiguous impression, I hope that the zoo is developing and will finalize some points for the happiness and health of its wards.

A very interesting place, especially liked the terrarium and dolphinarium. There are a lot of venomous snakes in the terrarium, which was very surprising. The dolphinarium liked the presentation and condition of the dolphins themselves (they look well-groomed and cheerful).

We came here in autumn! We thought that because of the cool weather it would not be so interesting, but it turned out on the contrary, there are fewer people, it's nice to walk, feed the animals! And most importantly, the children liked it

I really liked the zoo! The territory is large, there are a lot of animals! Some can be fed, but only with food purchased at the zoo! We went with a child a little over three years old, he is still too small! Parking is convenient!

The zoo is amazing, we were with the children. First, we went to the dolphinarium for a performance. The joy and happiness of what he saw are amazing. I immediately wanted to hug all the animals. The coaches are just great. The performance is excellent, we came out in a great mood. Then we went to see the animals at the zoo. We were feeding the goats, and the llama sneezed at us. Brown bears, wolves, foxes, lions, leopards, birds, parrots, monkeys. There are a lot of aviaries, the animals are well kept. However, the lioness had a sign that she had dermatitis and was undergoing treatment. They left the zoo in an enthusiastic mood. If you are in Minsk, you should definitely visit the zoo and dolphinarium.

A good zoo, with its disadvantages.
A large area, a lot of cute animals, unfortunately some are not always seen, as they either hide or sleep.
Long queues, although all the ticket offices are open, but the service is slow.
There are very dissatisfied workers in the terrarium, who break down on the tagging about and without.

It's a great zoo. Despite the hot sunny weather, most of the animals were in enclosures. Some animals can be fed, but only with food purchased at the zoo's ticket offices (sweet biscuits / numbers in an ice cream waffle cup). Bears love oranges, but they don't sell them there.

I put 2 stars, because everywhere there is a stink, sorry, animal urine. It stinks so much that I ran to the nearest birch tree. The zoo itself is very large and interesting. A lot of animals, all clean and well-groomed, but the stink.... I recommend visiting, of course, but keep in mind)

He's gorgeous. There are many species of animals and birds near the river. Kind and sincere people work. We talked with several zoo workers, it is clear that they love their work and animals and take care of them. I'm still happy after the visit. I've been to many zoos in Russia. This one is much better than Moscow and St. Petersburg

It is smaller than the Moscow Zoo in size, but everything is well maintained, the animals are clean, they look happy, I recommend visiting. There are no parking problems on weekdays. The walk took about 3 hours. The ticket costs 15 rubles, which is about 450rubles. We did not go to the Dino Park, we decided that we were not interested in it.

We've already been there twice this year. The zoo celebrated 40 years. Over the past 15 years, the zoo has expanded and changed a lot. There are many thematic events-you need to follow either on the website or in the insta. There are food outlets, the price tag is quite acceptable. If you have never been to European zoos, it is interesting and worthy.

A great place to spend time with the kids. There are a huge number of aviaries with different animals and birds, there are also aquariums with fish and a terrarium with lizards and snakes. Two hours will not be enough to see everything in time. There are 3 cafes on site where you can eat.

One of the best zoos I've ever been to. The bombastic dolphinarium! Minus one: foreign cards do not work. Not acceptable, in my opinion. What about tourists who visit Belarus without a visa, but also without cash?!

The zoo has grown a lot over the years of its existence. And it continues to be completed and modernized. I suppose it's due to the enthusiasm and dedication of his staff.
The animals are in good condition, the enclosures have been removed. There are points with water, cafes and sweets. Souvenir stalls.
Both adults and children can spend a lot of time at the zoo.
Let there be enough staff to make it beautiful and well-groomed.

The first impression is that this is just a small zoo, and then suddenly and for four hours as if nothing had happened, my legs are buzzing and I haven't seen any bison. Fate was kind to us, we saw wolves and bears and Lions and a white and a red and a lioness, and also a leopard and a tiger and anyone. It's funny in the dinopark, but it's already half-killed and you need to have spare legs to get around it all, it's better to look at the animals. The overall impression is good. Go to the ecotarium and terrarium, somewhere there are Koi carp the size of an "elbow"

I didn't like it. The zoo is small, the animals are pitiable. Many have a sick and unhappy appearance, the cells are small, there are no greenery and even shade. The terrarium is generally terrible, the crocodile has an aquarium almost the size of it, just a mockery! Macaws are naked in places, without feathers, and this is an indicator of both the physical and mental health of birds. Only goats and large-hoofed animals are well kept.
Upset about the visit.
Dino Park is normal, you can walk once.

There have been in many zoos. But here in the capital of Belarus it is a kind of shame. All animals smell very good. The animal enclosures are small. Rats were seen between some enclosures. The toilet is kind of old and shared. The Grodno Zoo in the same Belarus is an order of magnitude larger, better, more beautiful, cleaner. The animals in the Grodno Zoo are well-groomed, they do not smell. In general, we are disappointed with the Minsk Zoo.

A very cozy, comfortable place. All animals are well-groomed, non-scary. There are not many visitors. You can get up close and look at all the inhabitants of the zoo - from the lion to the dolphins. Macaws with beautiful plumage, without bald spots, which is extremely rare and indicates that the birds are comfortable here.

Navigation is difficult, it is unclear why there are no animals in the large building, there are a lot of paid terrariums on the territory. The dinopark is tired. At the same time, the animals are really cool, but somehow it's not served in a very modern way.

It's a great zoo. It is large and clean, although it has a peculiar smell from animals. On the territory of the zoo there are: a Dinopark, a Dolphinarium, an Aquarium, a Terrarium. With children, in general, it's great. Our 8 and 11 years old loved everything, especially the dolphin show. We did not regret that we came from Gomel. Tickets were bought for all 38 rubles at once. Thank you for the opportunity to see and take pictures with dolphins
