Osijek Zoo

Located on the left bank of the Drava River, amid the peaceful greenery of Tvrđavica, Osijek Zoo is the largest zoological garden in Croatia by surface area. If you book accommodation in Osijek with young children, a visit to this fun and engaging attraction is a perfect addition to your trip. What sets Osijek Zoo apart are its spacious enclosures, which provide animals with conditions as close as possible to their natural habitats, as well as beautiful walking paths that wind throughout the entire complex. A special highlight of the zoo is the aquarium, where visitors can explore the river life of the Drava and the Danube, along with exotic marine species. Osijek Zoo is an ideal family excursion that begins with the journey itself—aboard the legendary Osijek “kompa,” a ferry that carries passengers across the Drava directly to the zoo entrance. This is a place where nature meets education, offering visitors of all ages the chance to enjoy the peace and quiet of the Slavonian plains while observing fascinating animal species. Osijek Zoo is a must-visit destination for anyone wishing to spend a day outdoors, learning about nature conservation and biodiversity in the heart of Slavonia.
