In the Almaty Zoo for the first time, we were with two children 2.5g and 10 years old — and everyone really liked it, including adults! Especially from feeding giraffes - a lot of amazing unforgettable emotions🥰🔥
In front of them, they immediately sold the twigs that they eat (for 1000 tenge) and the photographers here - everything is just organized!! With children, there are also places to relax, sit down to relax, and there is a place to have a snack - and very tasty - at the exit of the red cafe (red decoration) there is hot and all drinks, and very fast service 👍🏻
The only disadvantage for me was the queue to the toilet (there are few working booths) - apparently there was a peak of visitors on our day)))
At the entrance, it is better to prepare payment via caspi (so as not to stand in line))
In general, I liked almost everything and a huge number of different animals 👍🏻

A great place to spend time with children, emotions, delight, etc.
But, the pavilion with exotic inhabitants is not equipped in the best way, there is very little space for crowds of people, you can't turn around with a stroller at all, you have to carry the baby in your arms.. It's the same in the fish pavilion.. but in general, the delight of children covers everything.
On weekends, it is better to take a taxi. Heavy congestion at the entrance to the Zoo from both the lower and upper parts of Esenberlin.
Despite the large flow of visitors, 4 ticket offices work surprisingly fast!

The impressions are difficult
I really liked the feeding of giraffes and elephants, in which you can take part
The animals presented are interesting
Incredible birds
But there is little room for birds, most of the animals are in barred cages
But here a personal attitude to the concept of zoos is more important, many people do not go to the circus, where animals participate in performances

First, about the advantages: the zoo is conveniently located, it is easy to reach; it contains some animals that are not in other zoos (giraffe, hippopotamus, rhinoceros).
Now about the cons: the territory is small (it used to be larger, part was given over to elite residential construction), animals are quite cramped, there are no fences and warning signs, local children are ready to climb right into the cages (parents are silent at the same time)... I visited the zoo 3 years ago. I hope that there have been changes for the better now.

we went with the child regularly. From a very pleasant one, you can feed an elephant and a giraffe. It is not expensive, but the child has a lot of positive emotions! Of the animals that can be seen there are: rhinos, hippos, elephants. A white bear appeared. It's better to come to the opening, then there will be a lot of people.

A cool place to have a good time. It's just a pity that the jellyfish were removed, it was an amazing sight. I am glad that the animals have become better monitored and the wolves do not have too small a cave and there is a place to run. True, the food inside is expensive, but this is not surprising.

I've loved going to the zoo since I was a kid. At first, our parents took us there, then we took our children there. Yesterday's trip was already with an adult son. I like that the conditions for keeping animals are improving, everything is clean and beautiful, the aviaries are free. I will not argue with animal rights activists, but it is zoos that currently preserve populations of some endangered animals. Thus, there are more Amur tigers in zoos in the world than in the wild, and Przewalski's horse still exists only thanks to zoos. And yes, for the first time I saw a lot of ordinary seals walking freely around the territory

A very cool zoo. There are a lot of animals, some have cubs - and this is an indicator that the animals are comfortable. Dangerous predators are separated from the audience, which is also good, there are many benches, gazebos, toilets in several places. However, indoors it is cramped and stuffy.

A beautifully and logically built system of paths and aviaries. I was pleased with the tigers, rhinoceroses, and lions, who have no fence, but an insurmountable moat dug. The toilet at the entrance is a little scary. No extraneous odors were noted. The animals are well groomed. You can feed a giraffe, elephant, kangaroo for a fee. The Amur tiger is the most interesting sight. He tries the water with his paw before entering. Exactly like a domestic cat. Fastidiously, fearfully, he lies down in the pool. He shakes himself off with splashes. And cheeky tigresses show off their charms in the sun. A comedy!

A pleasant surprise was a free ticket for pensioners, I passed all the aviaries, the animals in, in my opinion, are in good condition, because they were active, despite the intense heat, I was personally pleased, a large number of different animals, if desired, you could buy drinks ice cream, toys for kids. I did not visit in vain, not only I was satisfied, but also the children. I recommend everyone who will be in Almaty to visit this wonderful positive place.

Well, let's start with the positive
1. Very large in area and number of species represented. I saw a giraffe for the first time. A very large and powerful animal.
I really liked the fish. Birds. Tigers.
The reptiles were not very active and many simply hid.
It's a pity I didn't see the rhinoceros. (It was cold and some of the animals were moved to the houses).
Of the cons.
The enclosures are made so that the viewer sees the animals only from afar. The feeders are located on the opposite side, and as a rule all the animals are near them.
Lighting is absent in enclosures with lions and leopards. It's hard to see them there, let alone make them out.
Persistent unpleasant odor in hippopotamus and Elephant.
Bears winter outside mostly, they sleep in corners, you can only see a big lump. No more.
It is also not easy to see birds of prey, since you cannot get close to them.
But in general, the zoo is good, I liked it.
Yes, there are many things that can be changed for the better or just done, and I think it will still be fixed over time.

Здорово, что еще и аттракционы поставили. Детям понравилось стрелять из пневматических пушек и получать за попадания в цели призы. Есть за доп. плату кормление жирафов и слонов. Можно покататься на пони.
