Discover the Wonders of Almaty Zoo

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, you can navigate to Almaty Zoo using a GPS or a mapping app. Start by heading to the city of Almaty, which is accessible via the A2 highway from Central Kazakhstan. Once in Almaty, look for Ormanov Street. The zoo is located at Ormanov St 66, in the Medeu District. There is parking available near the zoo, but be mindful of local parking regulations.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, first, make your way to Almaty. You can take a bus or train from various locations in Central Kazakhstan to Almaty. Once in Almaty, you can take bus number 28 or 12, which both have stops close to the zoo. Get off at the 'Zoologicheskiy Park' stop, which is within walking distance of the zoo entrance. The fare for public buses is generally around 100 KZT (Kazakhstani Tenge), so keep some small change ready.

• Taxi or Rideshare

  Another convenient option is to use a taxi or a rideshare service like Yandex.Taxi. If you are in central Almaty, simply request a ride to Ormanov St 66. The fare will vary depending on your starting location, but it typically ranges from 800 to 1500 KZT. This is the quickest way to reach the zoo if you prefer direct transport.
