For a small territory this Zoo is well organized and has a good collection of exotic animals. They are trying to modernize it as the finances allow, it's moving slowly but stadily. The complex of Giraffes is a good example.

It does not matter if you are a child or an adult, it is always to visit the ZOO and enjoy the afternoon in the fresh air. The place is well kept, there are activities organized and to me it is always going to be the best place for my childhood memories.

But when you are grown up, you see things differently, so expecting from this smaal zoo more. When you are a child the zoo seems to be so big and interesting. One more suggestion, do not go when it is cold, you won't see all animals. Obviously on spring or summer time, but by the way this place needs renovation... More

I am usually trying to visit Zoo in Riga once a year. The Zoo is very good with lots of animals and most importantly they have scheduled shows for feeding the animals and this is something that I don't want to miss. It's fun, fun, fun

Riga Zoo is rather big. Not huge, but bigger than few other Zoo's of European cities. Also the variety of its inhabitants is rather interesting. But it is a bit out of the center and will take half of the day or more. But if your heart is set on feeling like a local, you can get there with a... More

Zoo is huge and located in a lovely area of Mezaparks, which is very green with lots of activities like cycling and lakeside bar just a short walk away from zoo. The price is about 4 lats for adults and I consider this very cheap compared to for example London ZOO, that charges close to £30 for an adult. Zoo... More

I was lucky to arrive the day they were giving special offer for visiting the Zoo at night for just 1 lat. I had a really sweet time there, the Zoo was so cosy. I also enjoyed the fairytale houses on the way to the Zoo

Riga zoo is a nice place for the families with children. I was a little bit worried about the condition of the animals because people had been warning me about it but luckily the conditions weren't as bad as I thought. The zoo was quite easy to find using public transportation and the price of the ticket wasn't that expensive.... More

Small but interesting zoo. It works even in winter and has such thing as winter nights when you can get to the zoo even at 7 p.m. and see animal night life.
