i’m absolutely disgusted and appalled by this ‘zoo’. Do not make the mistake of coming here as it is by far and away the worst zoo I have ever been to in my life. The animals are depressed and comatose and are locked away in tiny enclosures as though they’re prisoners. The seal swims around in a monotonous circle, confined to a tiny concrete pool on his own with only dead sardines for company. The beautiful snow leopard is stuck in a tiny dingy cell. This place urgently needs attention or else it should be shut down or relocated effective immediately.

We were visiting Lithuania and my childhood home town Kaunas. Decided to take a trip to the zoo, I knew it was a bad idea, but this time children’s curiosity won. So we went.
Tickets were expensive! Although they give discounts to Lithuanian families who has some sort of family discount card, but not to traveling families from outside the Lithuania. Still went with it.
Disappointed straight away, passing cages without any visibility of animals was one thing, but seeing them captured in a small spaces it was horrifying. Why on earth zoos even exist.
As a family who loves animals we have had decided that we will never support any zoos for as long as we live.

This was my first and last visit to any zoo in the world. It's sad, the enclosures are small and I cried when I saw the tiger - it's in an incredibly small cage, you could see the tiger was enraged, or just disturbed as it was running in circles screaming, there is not enough space for such an animal
do not go to zoo's, go to safari expeditions where you are in the cage and the animals look at you instead

Don't visit it! this is terrible place. This zoo definitely would worsen your mood. It needs to be closed down, or (better idea) - reformed to injured forest animals sanatorium, or stray animals shelter. Nothing more...

One of the many "attractions" I visited with my host during my recent visit to Lithuania. The place was heaving - obviously very popular with the locals, but it was, in my opinion, a dump. Ancient, tatty enclosures for the listless, wretched-looking animals that bore no resemblance whatsoever to the natural conditions in the wild. A few dried tree branches and, in one enclosure (I kid you not) two old Christmas trees does NOT resemble the bush/desert/jungle. The aquarium was underground and was like a sauna with tiny tanks overfilled with fish. Absolutely NO provision for mobility impaired visitors (who get a raw deal almost everywhere in Lithuania) - the slabs were uneven and to get to the lower area (which wasn't really worth the effort) involved either a descent of huge uneven steps or a tatty children's slide where you landed (if you didn't fly off it halfway down) on a flithy plastic mattress. The ascent afterwards was by way of a ridiculously steep slope that would tax even fairly fit people. I could go on but you get the message - avoid this awful dump at all costs!

I took my granddaughter to the zoo, she lives here in Kaunas. It was one of the saddest things we’ve done together. I spent the time telling her how this is not a way to keep animals. The seal was in shallow water with dead fish & all alone. The birds were over crowded and in the dark with old looking food, the fish to were over crowded in small tanks. Most of the animals were in a similar situation. Given the chance I will take my concerns higher.

Came all the way from Vilnius by train to the Zoo, and i am extremely disappointed. A very small space for each animal, you can sense they're not happy at all and the energy is sucked out of them, it's not clean you can smell the animals. Will never recommend this zoo to anyone and it should by renovated or relocated to another place where every animal have a suitable space.

Having come from South Africa spent my life around nature conservation and animals in general I was surprised to learn Kaunas even had a zoo. The zoo is small but very well kept with on going renovations. The animal look well feed and very happy!! :) The staff are super friendly and very passionate and I can tell the love what they do. My favourte animals to see where the otters and the Stumbras. They have a wide variety of animals and recently aquired a new lion or so I've been told. Well worth a visit!
