Tbilisi Zoo is an urban zoological park in Georgias capital, Tbilisi, originally established in 1927. It has served as the citys principal zoo for decades and contains a range of mammal, bird and reptile exhibits.

The zoo exhibits a mix of native and exotic species and operates enclosures and visitor facilities typical of a city zoo. It has been the focus of redevelopment efforts following severe damage from a flood in 2015 that affected animals and infrastructure.

Since the 2015 flood, recovery and modernization projects have been implemented to repair facilities and improve animal welfare. The zoo remains a civic attraction tied to conservation and education.

Tbilisi Zoo sits within the city of Tbilisi, located on the citys slopes and accessed from central districts by road; it lies within the urban fabric of Georgias capital.

• Foundation and 2015 flood: Founded in 1927, it is one of the oldest zoological parks in the Caucasus region and has undergone major changes since a devastating flood in 2015.

Tbilisi Zoo is in the city of Tbilisi. It is reachable by city buses and taxi; the nearest metro station is Vake (a walk or short taxi ride depending on the route). Driving from central Tbilisi typically takes 10-20 minutes depending on traffic.

• Arrive early in the day for active animal behavior and cooler temperatures.
• Check the zoo's conservation programs and special feeding times - these are often the most informative parts of a visit.
• Be prepared for varied conditions; some enclosures may be dated and the zoo has been through redevelopment phases.
