Kyiv Zoo

Founded in 1908, Kyiv Zoo is one of the oldest and largest zoos in Eastern Europe — and among the biggest in Ukraine, spanning more than 34 hectares. It is home to over 300 species of animals, including those listed in the Red Book of endangered species, such as the Asian elephant and the Amur tiger.
