Palić Zoo, Wildlife park in Palić, Serbia

Palić Zoo covers 15 hectares near Lake Palić by Subotica, of which 10 hectares of landscaped park are open to visitors. Around 100 animal species, some 450 specimens, are kept in about forty enclosures, cages and buildings. The grounds also hold a botanical collection with Lebanese cedar, giant sequoia and larch.

The idea of a zoo in Palić arose in December 1948 among Subotica officials Milan Martinović Metalac and Marko Bačlija. Konstantin Medaković's plan was approved on 4 April 1949, and the zoo began operating the next day with two employees. It was officially opened on 31 May 1950. The first animals included a bear, a monkey and a cockatoo; the bear Miskó lived there until 1981.

Educational programs at the zoo promote wildlife preservation while teaching visitors about the behaviors and ecological roles of different animal species.

The zoo covers 15 hectares, of which 10 hectares of landscaped park are open to visitors, with around 450 animals in some forty enclosures, cages and buildings. It is open every day of the year, including weekends and holidays. The northern part of the grounds holds conifers, the southern part deciduous trees and rose beds.

The zoo's oldest residents include several oaks over 200 years old that still stand on the grounds, predating the animal park itself. The land was formerly farmland growing wheat, rye, sunflowers and maize, with a few vineyards and a holiday cottage. The northern part holds conifers, the southern part deciduous trees and about 1,500 roses.
