Izmir Wild Life Park, Izmir

Beautiful park . Love the area - I am also from Izmir 👍🙏🤩 Spread over 425,000 square meters of area, this zoo was established in 2008 by Izmir Municipality. Surrounded by beautiful trees and a pleasing pond, this park is an amazing picnic spot for kids as well as adults. Birds, tropical animals and rare flora make it an alluring site. The animals aren’t caged like any other zoo and the park has a free-roaming area which is home to over 1500 animals of 120 different species. The variety of animals found are: Birds of prey and birds from the forests of Africa, Giraffes, Zebras, Hippopotamus and Ostriches, Camels, red Deer, Gazelle and Elephants, Bears, Wolfs, Hyena, Monkeys, Tigers and Lions and the tropical centre which features Crocodiles, Insects and Snakes.

Excellent place for families. A wide range of animals to see as well as the children's zoo where there are sheep, donkeys, rabbits,etc. The gardens are very well landscaped and there are many benches provided where you can sit and take a break. There are also children's playgrounds and a zip line for children. The two cafeterias serve sift drinks and ice cream. They also serve burgers,etc. Easy to access by bus and the entrance charge is very cheap especially considering you can spend a few hours there.
