Râmnicu Vâlcea Zoo
About Râmnicu Vâlcea Zoo
Râmnicu Vâlcea Zoo is in the Ostroveni neighbourhood, in the south-eastern part of the city. Its collection includes native and exotic animals, and a visit combines a walk past enclosures and aviaries with a stop at the aquarium and terrarium. Explore on foot, allowing time to pause and watch the animals.
Tigers, lions, bears and wolves are among the zoo's mammals. Birds and the aquarium and terrarium collections add animals with different ways of life to the route. During cold weather, species sensitive to low temperatures are kept in heated shelters, so some animals will be indoors.
What to see
The paths pass enclosures with wooden shelters and aviaries, among trees and green spaces. The aquarium and terrarium add fish and reptiles to the visit, while the playground offers a stop for children. The zoo also has a room for educational classes.
Good to know
Watch the animals from the areas set aside for visitors. Keep your distance from the enclosures and keep noise down during your visit, especially when the animals are resting.
