Osijek Zoo and Aquarium, Zoo and aquarium complex on Drava River, Osijek, Croatia
Osijek Zoo and Aquarium is a large facility along the Drava River featuring separate areas for land animals and an aquarium section for water species. The grounds include enclosures, tanks, and open areas distributed across the property to house different types of animals.
The facility was founded in 1955 and has grown to become Croatia's largest zoological institution. Over the decades, it has expanded its animal collection and developed conservation programs.
The zoo serves as a place where local people and visitors come together to observe animals and learn about nature from around the globe. It functions as a community gathering spot where families experience wildlife in a shared space.
The best time to visit is in the morning when animals are more active and crowds are smaller. The grounds are easy to navigate on foot with pathways connecting all major areas.
Visitors can participate in an adoption program that supports the care of individual animals and contributes directly to conservation efforts. This program creates a personal connection between visitors and the animals at the facility.
