Perm Zoo, Zoo in Leninsky City District, Perm, Russia.

Perm Zoo opened in August 2025 on a 25-hectare site on Architect Sviyazev Street in the Nagorny district, sixteen times the area of its old grounds. Its collection holds more than 299 animal species and over 3,000 living specimens, 182 of them listed in the international, Russian and Middle Urals Red Books.

The zoo grew out of a "living corner" of the Perm Regional Museum, opened to visitors on 27 March 1927, and became an independent institution on 1 August 1933. In 1931 it moved to the former bishop's house and Transfiguration Cathedral grounds, where tombstones were demolished. In August 2025 it reopened on a 25-hectare site on Architect Sviyazev Street in Nagorny, 16 times the old area.

The zoo runs guided excursions as part of its environmental education work. Its history is tied to the Perm Regional Museum, where a "living nature corner" opened in 1922 with a brown bear named Mashka, five fox cubs, two elk calves, two roe deer and three eagle owls. Since the 1950s young naturalists have again been active at the zoo.

Since August 2025 the zoo occupies a 25-hectare site at ulitsa Arkhitektora Sviyazeva 17V in the Nagorny district, 16 times the old grounds, so plan for long walks between sections. The collection holds over 299 species and more than 3,000 animals, and at least 300,000 people visit each year. The old site lay in the Leninsky district.

The zoo's new 25-hectare site on Architect Sviyazev Street in the Nagorny district opened in August 2025, sixteen times the size of the old grounds. Construction began in 2017, contracted to OAO RZhDstroy for over 1.8 billion rubles.
