Târgu Mureș Zoo, Zoo in Târgu Mureș, Romania.

Târgu Mureș Zoo occupies 42 hectares on the Cornești Plateau, at 488 m above sea level and 197 m above the city centre. It keeps about 750 animals of over 150 species, including Asian elephants, giraffes and gibbons. Enclosures include a 5-hectare semi-reserve for bears and wolves, a 10-hectare semi-reserve for European herbivores, an African pavilion with two 1.5-hectare paddocks, and a tropical house modelled on the Cluj-Napoca Botanical Garden.

The idea of a zoo in Târgu Mureș arose in 1948, when hunter Brunó Grosszman began talks with hunting and nature groups in Bucharest. In 1964 the city entrusted László Rend with its creation; it opened on 23 August 1964 with ten animals donated by the hunting society. The lion pavilion followed in 1967, the tropical house in 1978, and a 2008–2011 renovation expanded the grounds to 42 hectares.

The zoo runs continuous zoopedagogical activities for school groups and visitors. A peasant courtyard displays native Romanian breeds, and the animal houses are named after their function, such as the tropical house modelled on the Cluj-Napoca Botanical Garden. The zoo also administers the 2.5-hectare Platoul Cornești (Somostető) area.

The zoo lies on the Cornești Plateau at 488 m above sea level, 197 m above the city centre, on Strada Verii 57 in eastern Târgu Mureș. Its 42 hectares include a 5-hectare semi-reserve for bears and wolves and a 10-hectare one for European herbivores, so allow several hours on foot. The grounds sit inside the old oak and beech forest of the Nagy Erdő.

The facility houses elephants, giraffes, and gibbons that cannot be seen anywhere else in the country. These particular animals make the visit a rare experience for many people in the region.
