Tirana Zoo, Public zoo in Farkë, Albania.

Tirana Zoo, the country's only public zoo, occupies 6.09 hectares in the city's south, between the Grand Park and the Botanical Gardens. Its small cages hold bears, lions, llamas, monkeys, wolves, foxes and some birds, and the grounds are shaded by trees. The infrastructure is in poor condition and needs funds for repairs and animal care.

Tirana Zoo was built between 1960 and 1961, making it Albania's only zoo of its kind. In 2015 it closed after a video showed a bull attacking a donkey without intervention. Animal activists and environmentalists have long pressured local authorities to shut it down, and the municipality has announced plans to extend it into a park.

The zoo serves as a gathering place where families from Tirana spend weekends introducing children to different animal species and teaching them about nature. On weekends, visitors fill the grounds, making it a social space for parents and children alike.

The zoo lies in the southern part of Tirana, between the Grand Park and the Botanical Gardens, on 6.09 hectares. Cages are small and not very clean, and visitors are advised not to stress the animals. New apartment blocks have risen around the grounds, so the green setting is less intact than it once was.

The zoo creates a link between three green spaces: Grand Park, the Botanical Gardens, and its own grounds form one continuous green corridor within the city. This connection makes it an integral part of Tirana's network of outdoor spaces.
