About Skopje Zoo#
Skopje Zoo is the principal zoological garden serving Skopje, the capital of North Macedonia, located within the city’s municipal area. It houses a variety of animal species and functions as the main public zoo for the capital region.
The zoo operates as a city attraction for families and school groups rather than as a large regional zoological institution; exhibits combine local and exotic species and visitor facilities are those typical of an urban zoo. Conservation and education are part of its stated activities.
Situated within the urban area of Skopje in the Grad Skopje administrative region, the zoo is reachable from the city centre and forms part of the city’s leisure and recreational amenities.
