Moscow Zoo Tickets

Situated in the zoo's oldest building, it is the museum dedicated to the zoo's history and business. It is jam-packed with useful information about zoos all over the world, their history, and their residents. The side hall and central hall of the museum house a permanent exhibition of natural science and the history of the Moscow Zoo. Book your Moscow Zoo tickets to check out the museum's assets, including over 10,000 zoo coats of arms and sculptures, paintings, and sketches by Russian masters of animalistic such as Alexei Komarov, Vasily Vatagin, Vadim Trofimov, Alexei Tsvetkov, and Andrei Marts.

The Residential House of P.T. Klyuev, a cultural historical landmark located in the zoo's oldest section, houses an exhibition honouring Vladimir Vladimirovich Spitsin, the first president of the Moscow Zoo. Inside, you'll be greeted by a variety of large pictures that accurately depict Spitsin's personality. The first hall has office supplies, annual reports, and presents. In the second hall, there are photographs of Vladimir Vladimirovich with animals. The big hall also houses furniture and other things from Vladimir Vladimirovich's office, while the third room is dedicated to reminiscences. The exhibition pays tribute to Spitsin's work and dedication to animal welfare.

The Transition Bridge, which hangs over the Big Georgian Bolshaya Gruzinskaya Street, connects the Zoo's Old Territory to the New Territory, which opened in 1924. This pedestrian bridge connects the zoo's old and new sections and features aluminium alloy rails that resemble sea waves, adding to the attraction's splendour. The New Territory is home to a natural coral reef as well as huge butterflies, crocodiles, giraffes, monkeys, polar bears, tigers, and other creatures. The Old Territory, on the other hand, features leopards, cheetahs, elephants, and other felines, as well as wolves, penguins, and seals.

The sanctuary's most prized possessions are big cats, which you can see by purchasing Moscow Zoo tickets and visiting the zoo's Old Territory "Cat Row'' enclosures. Among the medium-sized cats that live here are the white Bengal tiger, the snow leopard, quick-footed cheetahs, an Amur leopard, and the Pallas's cat. There are also lynxes, a manul, and a cougar in the Cat Row. The Cat Row enclosures were recently renovated and expanded to provide more space for hunting, enjoyment, and game. High-strength glass has replaced the nets, enabling a clearer view of the cats and removing the possibility of visitors feeding them.

This panda pavilion, which has two indoor and two outdoor enclosures, is situated on the left side of the Old Zoo grounds. It includes playgrounds, obstacles, groves, streams, ponds, and shelters that are kept in a particular microclimate for pandas. In the visiting corridor, there is an interactive exhibition about the history of giant panda research and preservation. Rui and Dingding are two resident pandas at the Moscow Zoo that arrived from China in April 2019 for a 15-year stay. There is an aviary next to this huge panda pavilion where you can see a black-necked crane in the summer.

Explore this yellow-blue zone of the Old Territory of the Zoo, which is constructed in the oriental style and is known as "Elephant," with your Moscow Zoo tickets. This complex, which was built in 2003 for the comfort of animals, has a fountain, a shower, and a swimming pool. You'll be delighted to witness elephants having fun on the sand-covered floor of the outer area. This zone is open all year and visitors can see elephants in the outdoor area in the summer and the indoor section in the winter. Four Asian elephants live here: a man, a female, their grown daughter, and their young son.
