Visiting a zoo or an animal exhibition does not always leave only positive emotions. Some of the animals are hiding in the afternoon sleep, other “exhibits” prefer to stay away from the enclosure of the enclosure, you can’t touch and feed the animals ... A completely different thing is the contact zoo. Samara is a large city in which there are enough entertainment centers of various types, but it is communication with animals that gives children and adults positive emotions and raises the mood for the whole day.
"Cheerful zoo"
Recently, a contact zoo has opened in the Barn shopping and entertainment center. Its name "Merry zoo" speaks for itself. On an area of 350 m2 more than 25 species of birds and animals coexist peacefully. And best of all, you can touch and treat them all. In the touching zoo, visitors can chat with traditional pets: guinea pigs, decorative rabbits, ferrets and long-eared hedgehogs. There is also a village corner where goats, hens, turkeys, ducks, chickens live. A separate area is reserved for exotic birds, here you can see ostriches, Ara parrots, eagle owls, owls and peacock doves.
