Über den Ort

Lithuanian Zoo occupies an oak grove in Žaliakalnis as the country's oldest scientific zoological park.

The grounds began under the name of Kaunas Zoological Garden and hold the status of the oldest scientific zoological park in Lithuania. The entire enclosure network rests inside the protected Ąžuolynas oak grove in the southwestern portion of Žaliakalnis. This placement gives the institution a canopy of mature oak trees that sets it apart from standard urban animal facilities across the Baltic states.

Long-term residents in Žaliakalnis and neighbouring Dainava experience the zoological park as an active boundary along the public oak grove. The facility covers an extensive tract of land that channels visitor traffic toward dedicated access gates, keeping casual pedestrians out of specialized animal zones. Living nearby means handling weekend family transit while retaining immediate access to the surrounding forest trails.
