(220+ reviews on the web)
Zoo / Aquarium Nature / Park
In a savannah-like setting along Crimean foothills, Safari-park Taygan houses over 50 lions and several other animals, which are allowed to roam free through vast open plains. Considered to be the first park of its kind in Europe, the park cares for the animals in their native habitats, spread across 36 hectares (89 acres). In order to allow the visitors to observe the creatures in the wild without disturbing them, the site offers numerous observation decks, totaling 1 km (0.6 mi) in length. Here you'll see anything from tiny cubs playing to majestic white lions roaring. In addition, you can visit a small zoo at the site, with giraffes, bears, monkeys, and other animals.

  • This is a best zoo I've ever seen! Comparing to Singapore or Bali zoo this is the best! You can feed all animals there, don't forget to take bananas with you :)  more »

  • Great and unique park, one of russia's secret treasure's. I can really recommend anyone to pay this place a visit.
  • Рerfect place to relax
  • Generally do not understand what is at stake at the European level. Half of the animals in the neuhozhenom State, the animals are very hot, and there is almost no shade. Lazy lions, Lion Cubs and frankly exploit dumb mother and their children. But the manicured Park beautiful. The main claim-not 900 rubles. If you haven't been to the Zoo, this is the best option in the Crimea, but explicitly advertising promised much more. P.s. so beautiful park and walk on it nice. Birds and rabbits running around the park directly. But the name "Lions Safari Park" manifestly exaggerated. I would call the "fairy tale 2".

  • In 10:00 feeding the Lions. You can feed the animals their food (fruits, vegetables), meat for predators you can buy in the Zoo. Photo with kitten (lvenok or Tiger) on hands-500 rub. on your camera.

  • Very large Safari Park but lions in it a little. But there are a lot of different animals in the Zoo. There is a patio with goats, pigs and kangaroos, where you can go and talk with the animals
