My husband and I weren't entirely sure what to expect having read the mixed reviews and were very pleasantly surprised. We caught the 30 bus very easily from the bus station below the UFO bridge which cost us only 0.35 euro each way! The zoo was clean and tidy ard we spent a lovely 2 1/2 hours walking around the very scenic wooded areas. There was a great range of animals to see, including my favourite red pandas. It's a great way to spend half a day in the fresh air with exercise added.
Highly recommended.

Needed a break during our road trip so decided to stop at the DinoPark, which is within the zoo and covered by the same entrance fee.

Dino Park was pretty good if, like us, you have a 4-year-old who knows his parasaurolophuses from his pachycephalosauruses. Lots of different life-size model dinosaurs, some of them animated, although the mosquitos were very real and made us reluctant to explore the areas off the main path.

Unfortunately the zoo part also felt like a trip back in time, where most of the animals would arguably have been better off going extinct. Small dirty enclosures and animals looking a bit worse for wear. Perhaps we’d been spoilt by visits to Berlin Zoo and UK safari parks, but it would have been better if we could have just visited the dinopark section on its own. Very cheap and killed a couple of hours, but draining on the soul!

Zoo is on the west side of the Bratislava city with free parking on the Sun and easily spotted.
Entrance is 7 EUR for adults and 5 EUR for child and seniors.
A lot of animals and a great fun for the whole family for the whole day.
Unfortunately the Dino park was closed in late May 2022.
If you want map you have to pay 0.5 EUR, but you don't need it because there are quite a lot of big maps on every corner.
Food stands were closed during our visit. But you can bring your own food and drinks. A lot of souvenir machines along the path.
Great fun for sure!

The zoo is located in the hills, served quite well by excellent public transport in Bratislava, or you can use Bolt taxis (as of August 2024 the cost is 1 euro per km), very efficient.
I must say that I found the animals kept quite well, no undernourished animals or skin and bones as I got to see elsewhere, unfortunately.
The park is large, clean well maintained, there is a lot to walk on paths made by ups and downs, both in asphalt and dirt (beautiful paths in the middle of the woods). A paid shuttle service is available for those who do not want, or cannot, walk as much.
There are several refreshment points where you can take a break to rest and eat something.
The ticket price is definitely worth the visit.
The only Recommendation I would give to the facility is to move the baby hippo to a larger and more suitable tank, in the one I saw did not have much space.

In the Bratislava Zoo you can feel sorry for the animals, especially the lion and the big cat. There is far too little space in the enclosures for these species of animals. The park is generally in poor condition, especially the walkways. The enclosures are widely scattered throughout the park.

Enclosures for the animals are small, not in good condition some of them totally broken. Animals look very unhappy and sad. Its broke my heart to visit this zoo and see the animals stuck in such small cages and so sad. Some parts of sidewalk are unkeep and must be carefully to use it. The toilets are unclean, missing soap and paper. Never visit again. If you like to visit ZOO I don`t recommend this one.

Disappointed!Adults 10e for entry, disabled for 7eur,kids till 3yrs for free. Nearly nothing to see, have been there today at around 3pm. Most of the animals locked inside or hidden, they should do some windows so you can see them even if they are in. My child nearly 3yrs was asking to go home, she was so bored. Best attraction was donkey.

Not good unfortunately. The enclosures for the animals are small and a lot of them look very unhappy, particularly the bear. Broke my heart to visit this zoo and see the animals stuck in such small cages and so sad. The majority of the toilets are portaloos and the actual toilets are quite unclean. Would not visit again.

I have been to many zoos and this is by far the worse I have been too. Some parts which have been invested in are nice but some areas are very run down. The larger animals such as lion, jaguar etc were in smaller enclosures than the alpacas! I was particularly concerned about the hippo enclosure which had no water. I agree with other comments .. I left feeling guilty I had funded this. If proper investment was made this would be a lovely zoo. Even the vegetables that were thrown in looked rotten.

Most animals were locked in their cages, with no other viewing gallery to see them. So most of the time we were looking at empty enclosures.

Plenty for the kids to do though, in terms of play grounds etc.

This zoo is a house of terror! Terrible how the animals are kept here. Far too small areas, the enclosures are excessively dirty with feces and it stinks everywhere. The animals have an empty eye - you can see the misfortune and despair. Why the authority has not yet done anything here is inexplicable to me. It was supposed to be a nice holiday conclusion for us at the zoo, but it was sad, heartbreaking and shameful.
