The zoo is surrounded by Karelian forest and is located in a preserved natural landscape. The natural topography of the land, untouched trees and artificial reservoirs are home to a large number of ungulates, predators and birds included in the Red Book. Touch rare species of animals, gently pat ponies and feed deer. Yes, with a few exceptions, our animals can be patted and fed with a special treat, which you can purchase at the entrance – they will be very happy with such attention.

Hundreds of animals and birds
There are many different species of animals living in our zoo. From small and quick raccoons to large bisons, from deer and camels, that are familiar to everyone, to rare and exotic takins. They all are our beloved charges, whom we care for as our children. The animals live in a spacious outdoor area surrounded by ecologically clean Karelia lakes and forests. We preserved the maximum natural conditions of the region to provide comfortable life for animals and created the necessary environment for those who needed it. For example, ponds for waterfowl. Many animals love the warmth of human hands and gladly allow to pat them. Some of them, living in the zoo, started families and delight us with new additions. The zoo is also expanding due to the regular acquisition of new species of animals and birds.
