Košice Zoo, Wildlife park in Kavečany district, Košice, Slovakia.
Košice Zoo stretches across forested hills and houses about 280 animal species from various regions of the world. Residents include European brown bears, lynx, and Przewalski's horses, all kept in spacious enclosures.
The zoo opened its doors in 1979 with just a handful of animal species on a small plot. Since then it has grown steadily and become Slovakia's largest zoo.
The zoo displays animals native to Slovakia, particularly in a section representing the Carpathian region. Visitors can see which creatures naturally inhabit this part of Europe.
The zoo is accessible during colder months with shorter opening hours, while it stays open later in the evenings during warmer months. It is worth checking the opening times before your visit since these vary by season.
In 2002, the zoo gained international recognition when a European brown bear gave birth to five cubs at the same time. This rare event was even recorded in a record book.
