Yalta Zoo, Private zoological park in Yalta, Ukraine.

Yalta Zoo "Skazka" is a private zoo on the southern coast of Crimea near Yalta, founded in 1990 as the cooperative animal corner "Polyana Skazok". It holds more than 100 species and over 1,500 animals and birds in total. At the entrance, two smooth golden elephant sculptures stand on a paved area behind a low black metal fence, the larger one facing right with its trunk curled high.

The zoo opened in the 1990s as a small operation featuring yaks, peacocks, bears, and other animals. It has since grown into a larger facility with more species and better facilities for visitors.

The zoo grew out of the cooperative animal corner "Polyana Skazok", founded in 1990 on the initiative of the Central Committee of the Komsomol of Ukraine. Its symbol was the chimpanzee Charlik, one of eleven large animals poisoned in spring 2009; Kharkiv Zoo then gave it the bear Matvey. In autumn 2009 Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko presented the white tigress Tigryulya, born as a symbol of the 2010 White Tiger year and used in her presidential campaign; the tigress died on 15 February 2019.

The zoo opens daily and is easy to explore on foot, with paths running through all sections. There are places to buy refreshments along the way, and most visitors spend several hours walking through the entire park.

The zoo's symbol was a chimpanzee named Charlie, one of eleven large animals that died in spring 2009 after traces of a strong poison were found in all of them; a reward of 100,000 hryvnias was offered for the poisoner. In April 2009 Kharkiv Zoo gave Yalta a bear, Matvey. In autumn 2009 Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko presented the zoo with a white tigress, Tigryulya, named for the coming Year of the White Tiger; she died on 15 February 2019.
