I have visited this “mini zoo” with my friend. We were very exited and anticipated to receive a similar experience to “Rakši zoo”. However, we were disappointed, appalled and heartbroken when we left. Let me dive a little deeper. This is marketed as a contact zoo, where you can feed and touch animals, but for some reason they have these metal rod fences where the owners cut holes for animals to poke their heads out, they are sharp, animals hurt themselves and seem unnecessary. Then we came across animals with eye infections, that have puss coming out of their eye and we thought “okay, well it’s sad, but they are probably being treated”, then the animals hay is being kept in the wrong conditions, then we saw a pony who has asthma and when we fed her, she started experiencing tummy issues, she shouldn’t be fed and should be treated…, but then again we said “well maybe they are being treated and we shouldn’t be making a big deal about it, because we don’t know”, however, the last straw was when I saw a llama or alpaca who grew OUT of his halter and that SMALL halter was digging into the poor animal’s face, it was bleeding, there was puss, so many flies around the wounded area, it was horrific. At that moment, I came to the realisation that if they CARED, really, TRULY CARED they would have 100% noticed that the animal is in pain, because it has an infected, bleeding face BECAUSE its halter is too small for him and has clearly not been taken off since god knows when!!! They are negligent towards these animals and there is probably so much more that I have not seen or have not noticed, but I am so sorry for those animals… and they have monkeys and other exotic animals, who need specific care. I honestly don’t even want to think about it. This place needs to be held accountable!

Great place for kids, entertaining - kids can feed the animals. Nice area for picnic! Close to Riga. Was worth to visit

Great small zoo, quite big variety of animals. Clean, pleasant to walk around. Great for children. If too hot, animals sleep 😴

Great place to visit. Not far from city. Can feed animals. Open space place. Visit time about an hour. Interesting for kids.

Better than any "big" Zoo. Kids can touch and play with the animals! They even have a Camel and yes... you can feed it :) A Must for a family outing with the little ones. Thank you!

A mini zoo where kids can feed the animals themselves. Animal food must be bought on site.

Worth visiting if you're nearby, otherwise the best choice is "Rakši". No family ticket.
