Leningrad Zoo, Zoo in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Leningrad Zoo spans across Alexandrovsky Park, featuring numerous enclosures housing over 600 species including mammals, birds, fish, and invertebrates.
Founded in 1865 by Sofia and Julius Gerhardt, the zoo maintained operations during World War II, with staff protecting animals throughout the Siege of Leningrad.
The facility preserves its name Leningrad Zoo despite the city reverting to Saint Petersburg, commemorating the dedication of workers during the wartime period.
The zoo welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 to 18:00, offering various exhibits including the Predator's House, Primate's House, and Exotarium.
The Children's Zoo section enables direct interaction with farm animals, including Cameroon pigmy goats and various domestic species in educational settings.
