Yerevan Zoo Park

These poor animal's I recently visited a local zoo with high hopes of a memorable experience, but I left feeling utterly disappointed and disheartened. My visit to this zoo was nothing short of a disaster, and I can't help but share my negative review to warn others from making the same mistake. First and foremost, the conditions in which the animals were kept were simply appalling. Many enclosures were cramped and filthy, with little to no consideration for the well-being and comfort of the animals. It was disheartening to witness majestic creatures confined to small spaces that barely resembled their natural habitats. To make matters worse, the lack of proper maintenance and care was evident throughout the entire zoo. . Some animals seemed visibly distressed, pacing back and forth or displaying signs of behavioral issues, which was deeply distressing to witness. It was clear that the zoo's staff neglected their duty to provide a safe and enriching environment for the animal The organization and layout of the zoo were chaotic and confusing. Poor signage and a lack of clear pathways made navigation unnecessarily difficult. Some exhibits were closed without any explanation, and the limited variety of animals on display was underwhelming. It seemed In conclusion, I strongly advise against visiting this particular zoo. The conditions in which the animals are kept are unacceptable, the educational value is virtually non-existent, and the overall experience is incredibly disappointing. Save your time and money by exploring alternative options that prioritize animal welfare and offer a more enriching and enjoyable experience for visitors.

Well well well, The Zoos are one of the amazing places to visit during travel to any destinations. The zoo describes the mirror of the city's your are visiting. Yerevan Zoo is one of the healthiest zoos I have visited in the region. Extended to the upper hills by giving the animals the proper spaces. Few comments and suggestions to the management : - It's Winter time and you know very well some of the animals kept inside because of the cold and some of their places are renovating and their cage are totally kept empty. Why full entrance fees applied? Literally we didn't see not more than 4 or 5 animals in the whole zoo.. Either you inform at the entrance About the situation inside or provide 50% discount. (just fyi this is the rule of the Zoos worldwide). - Hire more friendly staff. Overall we enjoyed the cold weather while walking in an empty park. Cheers 🍻 International reviewer

Bad. I've been there last year, conditions were somewhat good, but now... the entrance (where you pay money) is clean, but when you continue... all you feel is pity for animals. Conditions are awful. Some of the animals are not there anymore (I guess they died), zones where animals STILL exist are dirty. I approached 2 employee, one of which was wearing medical scrub and kindly shared my opinion about the zoo and tried to understand their point of view. All I realized is that they are not ready to admit any adequate feedback. Animals are not safe.

I was pleasantly surprised! Last time I went there was 2008, and I remember feeling depressed and bad for the animals afterward. This time the experience was totally different. The renovations were impressive and the animals looked happier and healthier. I enjoyed being able to get up close and interact with them and feed them. During a time of pandemics, it's a nice way to spend time out of your house while being in the open air and practicing social distancing and safety.

Some of the animals (elephant, lynx, owl, wildcats, and the one on the picture attached), have very little space. The one on the picture has a glass cage that seems less than 60 cm in width and less than 100cm in length. He seemed extremely stressed. I realise that the zoo may have very limited resources. But in that case it would be better to hand over some of the animals to another zoo that can keep them properly.
