Mogilyov Zoo, Zoo in Mahilyow, Belarus.
Mogilyov Zoo occupies 124 hectares on the left bank of the Dnieper near Buynichi, at Orlovskogo Street 1. A fenced walking route with observation towers runs along its perimeter, letting visitors watch European bison, deer, elk, wild boar, wolves and foxes in large enclosures. A 2 km railway, operating since spring 2009, crosses a system of glacial canyons and an artificial pond with ducks and swans.
The zoo was founded in 2004 at the Mahilyow Professional Agrarian-Forestry College named after K. P. Orlovsky, with active involvement of its then director, Georgy Nikolayevich Malinovsky. It is located in the village of Buynichi near Mahilyow, at 1 Orlovskogo Street. Its opening date is considered May 9, 2005.
The facility incorporates a traditional Belarusian ethnographic village museum showcasing early 20th-century rural life, complete with craftsman workshops, traditional houses, and cultural demonstrations for visitors.
Open daily from 10:00 to 17:00, the zoo charges 10 rubles for adults and 7 rubles for children aged 3-14, with additional services including guided tours, horse riding, and railway safari experiences.
Visitors can experience a 2-kilometer narrow-gauge railway journey through the grounds, offering close encounters with European bison, deer, and other native Belarusian wildlife species in semi-natural settings.
