About About the place

Split Zoo is a modestly sized zoological garden located on the Marjan Hill in Split, Croatia. Established some time ago, it features a collection of both wild and domestic animals, including bears, tigers, wolves, monkeys, and various bird species. The zoo's affordability is often noted, with very low entry fees. However, it has faced significant criticism regarding the conditions in which the animals are kept, with many visitors expressing concern over the small enclosure sizes and apparent lack of adequate care. The zoo's facilities are described as aging and in need of repair.

Best for

The zoo is not recommended for most visitors. It may be suitable for families with very young children who are not sensitive to animal welfare concerns and are looking for a very brief, inexpensive activity.

Best season

Spring or fall offer more pleasant weather for the uphill walk.

Best time to visit

Weekdays are likely to be less crowded than weekends. Early morning or late afternoon may be slightly cooler for walking up Marjan Hill.

Tips by Locals

Accessibility

Accessibility is limited due to the zoo's location on Marjan Hill, which involves a steep walk. The zoo itself has uneven terrain and lacks modern accessibility features. Wheelchair access is likely to be difficult or impossible in many areas.

Kid friendly

The zoo's small size may appeal to very young children, but the depressing conditions are likely to be upsetting for some. Stroller access is limited due to uneven paths. There are no dedicated changing rooms or play areas.

Pet friendly

Pets are not allowed.

Food facilities/restaurants/cafes

There are limited food facilities onsite. Some visitors mention the availability of food to purchase for the animals, but no substantial cafes or restaurants are present. Picnic areas are not specifically mentioned.
