Lithuanian Zoo
Lietuvos zoologijos sodas
Lithuania’s only national zoo, next to Kaunas’s historic oak grove park. Recently renovated, it is well suited to family outings.
Founded in 1938, it is Lithuania’s only national zoo, located beside Ąžuolynas, Kaunas’s large oak grove park. It recently underwent a major renovation that added several naturalistic habitat zones. The zoo houses hundreds of species, including native Baltic animals as well as African and Asian animals, making it well suited to family outings.
