Excursions
The new zoo in Odessa near two pillars offers guests sightseeing tours. Topics and duration can be agreed with a qualified guide. It all depends on the age and interests of the audience.

In addition, visitors will be introduced to predators and herbivores. Guests will be able to learn the features of keeping, feeding and breeding.
The route of the excursion depends on what time of the year it will take place. Weather conditions also play a significant role in this matter. You can have a good time in the park in winter.
