Kumasi Zoo
An older zoo beside the National Culture Centre in the city centre, housing chimpanzees, lions and crocodiles. It is a favourite leisure spot for local families.
Kumasi Zoo was founded in 1951 in the city centre, next to the Centre for National Culture. It houses chimpanzees, lions, crocodiles, ostriches, monkeys and other animals. The zoo is small and its facilities are rather dated, so it suits families with children or a stroll while visiting the cultural centre. Admission is cheap, and it is busy on weekends.
Opening hours
About 08:00–18:00
