A Natural Habitat Within Pine Forests
Spread across a vast red pine forest near the Kepezüstü district, the Antalya Zoo is one of the largest zoos in Turkey in terms of land area, where animal welfare is prioritized at the highest level. Designed without disturbing the natural terrain, this area ensures that animals live in conditions closest to their own natural habitats. It is an educational and entertainment center intertwined with nature, especially for families with children.
Rich Diversity from Predators to Reptiles
Inside the zoo, it is possible to see hundreds of species ranging from big cats like lions and tigers to zebras, exotic birds, and an extensive reptile house. Additionally, the "children's zoo" section offers the chance for closer interaction with animals. The wide picnic areas and artificial ponds surrounding the zoo make this a perfect full-day weekend destination.
