Karagandy Zoo Museum

Karagandy Zoo is the municipal zoo located in the city of Karaganda in central Kazakhstan. It houses collections of native and non-native mammals, birds and other species typical of a city zoo.

Exhibits typically include medium- and large-sized mammals and aviary displays; the facility focuses on public education and recreational visits rather than on large-scale conservation programs. Grounds and enclosures are arranged within an urban park setting and are sized to serve local and regional visitors.

The zoo was established to serve the Karaganda community and has developed over time to include a range of animal exhibits and visitor amenities. It sits within the city limits of Karaganda in Karaganda Region, making it accessible to residents and visitors to the city.
