My girlfriend and me got the number 29 bus up to the zoo thinking we will spend a good couple of hours there and find it interesting and enjoyable. It was a very grey day and I am sure this in part did not help. From my perspective, I find zoos to be bit cruel generally in principle but I gave this a go with an open mind. We went into the zoo and thought it was very quiet. Infact, we did not see another soul for the half an hour we were there. The first part of the zoo had very few animals. Cages and displays were empty and these themselves looked old and tacky. Perhaps they remove animals for the winter? We got to the tiger enclosure and from here my heart sank and brought back to me why I don't agree with zoos. The poor thing was pacing up and down which is a sign of stress and the environment it was in was disturbing. Small, muddy and completely no effort made to make this magnificent creature feel at home. Moving further along, more empty displays, no seals etc. We then came to the European Wolves. Again, my heart sank. One wolf at the front of the cage with a toy in its mouth just pacing up and down in a space no more than 10 feet. Clearly a very stressed animal. The enclosure was to be fair fairly large as a whole but it seemed to be housing 4 wolves. I felt for all of them. The environment again not seemingly fit to make the animals at home. Even the camel enclosure looked a mess and the small space for their shelter was used to house at least four of them. From the point of the wolves, we decided to leave. We could not bear to see anymore given the poor conditions we believe were occurring here. Empty park (perhaps fair enough given the time of year) and stressed animals. Made me feel very guilty and upset.

What a wonderful zoo!So many animals, a really lovely layout and enjoyable walk around the whole site. There were a couple in our party who found some of the route more difficult than others due to slopes and steep steps but we all managed to get around. Having never been to a zoo in another country before (we are English) we were unsure what to expect from here but it was a very reasonably priced, excellent day out and entertained a family of all ages.

We had very enjoyable day in this Zoo. It is great to have a long walk because it is on big area. Many choices for kids to play around, also possible to come with bike.

Really nice Zoo. Much better than we expected. A great value for money day out. We used the bus and it was very easy. Animals looked in really good condition & all of the cages were clean. We didn't include the Dino park.

Kosice zoo has nice surrounding of nature and forest. Good selection of animals. If you want to see everything be prepared to walk a lot. Zoo is big. There are many spots where you can rest and buy refreshment. We had nice afternoon out with the family.

Nice but simple setting. For 3 euro, you can have a nice walk and enjoy the animals. Lions, bears, a few monkeys but nothing really exotic . Lots of vegetarian animals like goats. Did not check the Dino park. Accessible by bus but better with car.
