Osijek Zoo
Zoološki vrt Osijek
A riverside zoo on the north bank of the Drava, one of Croatia's largest zoos, reachable by ferry.
The Osijek Zoo was founded in 1955. It covers about 11 hectares along the north bank of the Drava River, houses around 80 species of animals, and includes a reptile house. Its wooded grounds make it a pleasant half-day outing for families. Admission is about €5. From the Upper Town riverbank, you can take a small ferry across the river (operated in summer), or walk over the pedestrian bridge for about 20 minutes.
