Limassol Zoo
Located within a city park, this zoo has been open to the public since 1956. It houses a variety of animal species and provides a space for families to walk and observe wildlife. Visitors go here to see a diverse collection of animals in a renovated urban park setting.
Getting There
The zoo is situated within the city limits of Limassol. From the city centre, it is accessible via local bus routes or a short taxi ride. Depending on the specific starting point and traffic, the journey typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
Visit Duration
Most visitors spend between 2 and 3 hours exploring the grounds. This allows enough time to walk through the park and view the different animal enclosures at a steady pace.
When to Visit
The zoo is best visited during the cooler months of spring and autumn to avoid the intense summer heat. Morning visits are generally recommended as animals are often more active. Like most city attractions, it can become crowded during weekends and school holiday periods.
