VISIT ZOO BANEASA

Bucharest Zoo Garden is a great place to spend an afternoon when you visit the Romanian Capital. The Zoo is outside Bucharest, near Baneasa Forest and also near Baneasa Shopping Center. So, if you have time and need some fresh air and also a shopping tour in an elegant mall, you might like the area. You have the 301 bus to take you right at the Zoo.

BUCHAREST ZOO TICKETS

One ticket for an adult is 13 RON but if you want to take pictures inside you will have to pay another 13 RON. Of course, many visitors take pictures but don’t pay, it is your choice. There are more than 200 species to see here and the number of fine, funny and friendly beings living inside the Zoo is about 3,000. If you plan to visit the Bucharest Zoo at about 13 P.M., you might find everyone sleeping. Like this Siberian Tiger.

CHILDREN TICKETS AT BUCHAREST ZOO

The Zoo in Bucharest total surface is estimated at about 6 ha. It was founded in 1955. A ticket for children is 6,5 RON. Children always find the Zoo Garden very interesting. For adults a ticket is 13 RON.

WHEN TO VISIT BUCHAREST ZOO

The ZOO in Bucharest can be visited every day from 9 to 17. You are not allowed to feed the animals. The Romanian capital had no Zoo before 1955. Yet there were special corners in CISMIGIU GARDEN, CAROL PARK or HERASTRAU PARK where you could admire beautiful birds and mammals. Don’t forget, if you visit the ZOO in Bucharest, from 12 to 2 PM, keep quiet…some lions are sleeping.

ZOO BUCHAREST IN WEEK-END

On May 1st, 1959, the real Bucharest Zoo Garden was opened. Until then, there were many species in danger which found their home here. Fauna preservation is, after all, the reason a Zoo Garden exists. Recently, the program was changed. Thus, in summer, the Zoo Bucharest can be visited from 9 to 19 P.M. In week-end you can come from 8 A.M. to 6 P.M, if you would like to see what these guys are doing in the morning.

BUCHAREST ZOO YOUTUBE CHANNEL

Don’t get to close to wild animals. There are electric fences and although they look friendly, some of the mammals might be dangerous.
Exotic species are also to be found in Bucharest Zoo. There are mammals and birds which are alright here. This is a bald eagle. He didn’t like to see us, as far as I remember. See him on YOUTUBE CHANNEL BUCHAREST TRAVEL.

WHAT TO SEE AT ZOO BUCHAREST

Anyway, while the Siberian tiger and lions are sleeping, there is still fun at the Bucharest Zoo and you have what to see. The birds, like these beautiful pelicans are quite interesting.

There are also flamingo birds at the Zoo in Bucharest and many, many other birds. Not to mention the antelope…

…zebra..

…or camels…

ZOO IN BUCHAREST AND AROUND

The Bucharest Zoo was included in Zoo Year Book, edited by Zoological Society of London in 1962. It will take you about 2 hours to visit the entire Garden. After that, you might like to have a beer, not a bear, across the Zoo. There are a few pubs and in summer it is a pleasure to enjoy a little fresh air and eat some TRADITIONAL FOOD or, simply, have a cup of coffee. We visited the Zoo again in September, and we can tell you that the weather in September in Bucharest is the best to go around the area.
