Borås Zoo

Worth to visit. Its not very big, but very nice. You can find animals (not so many) and even dinosours corner. Nice nature, very high and modern bridge to enter zoo. A lot of places to have your own barbeque. Also nice and big playgrounds for kids. During this time (covid) restaurants are not serving at the place, but you can order and take away. Tickets are quite expensive on the hight season, but worth.

It's good that the animals have a lot of space to move and to hide from visitors if they want and they look healthy. Good place with kids, with many playgrounds and clean toilets. With an open grill-place for all. The restaurant is fine too. They keep the rules (social distancing, hygiene).

Great family day out in the fresh air. Buy an annual pass if you’re planing to go more than once during the year. Also good for couples, friends who just want to walk around and enjoy the car free environment along with animals and nice nature

Lovely zoo, nice for taking one day trip there! The kids will definitely love this place.

A must to see when in Borås . I hadn't been for 20 years and what a treat this was. The zoo has made so many changes in order for us visitors to feel closer to the animals . The food from the restaurants is pricey and not the greatest but was still enjoyed in the Zoo park surroundings. It's an expensive day out for family , however the animals need feeding and are an important part of future conservation so it was worth it for us .

Very good zoo (include various wild animals) for a day spend with family. You have a chance to pet goat, hen, etc

One of the better zoos in Sweden I'd say, some of the animal habitats seem downright luxurious in comparison to the habitat of the same species in comparable zoos (the bears especially, cubs seemed quite happy and playful!). Very photography-friendly enclosures, most of them at least. Would have liked to see some of the animals have access to some more privacy though. Easy to navigate, wide range of species. Lacks a larger variety of birds, perhaps. Bring your camera(s), I couldn't but wish I did.

One of the best family-friendly zoo experiences in Sweden. Not as vast and expansive as the Kolmården Zoo or Öland Zoo, but still with a large selection of African, Asian and European animals. The size of the animal enclosures are on par with the standard size of other Swedish zoos. Visibility ranges from poor (wolves, lynx and a few other) to excellent (bears, African Savannah, buffaloes). There are plenty of playgrounds, benches and resting stops scattered around the zoo, but the main playground and play fountains are concentrated at Simba's playground. If I could ask for one thing though, it would be a denser coverage of WC's, especially with changing tables. There are several kiosks and restaurants around the park, but the information on what each stand is selling is extremely sparse. Looking at the map will only tell you it is serving food, not whether that is only ice cream, hot dogs, anything vegetarian or dinner. By the entrance, there is a dinosaur park as well as a giant causeway which lands by the African Savannah. The dinosaur park was not that impressive, with both a rather limited selection of statues and an outdated view on how we thought dinosaurs looked 30 years ago. The causeway on the other hand is impressive with a spectacular view, though sadly you can pretty much only spot African wild dogs from the causeway. I would strongly advice that you arrive later in the day. You may miss out on a few of the animal feedings, but the park will be virtually empty for you. No waiting to order food, board the train or get a seat at a table. No crowding by the popular animals in order to get a quick glimpse. And as a bonus, there will be friendly and helpful staff around nearly everywhere, who are more than willing to tell you about the animals. You can easily walk through the park in 2-3 hours and view all the animals in near privacy if you do it after the morning buzz has died down a little. During the ongoing Corona pandemic, some restrictions may apply. When we visited, the monkey palace as well as the predator house was closed. However, both lions and tigers were out and about and could be viewed from the sides of their respective enclosure. Hand sanitizers were widely available and clearly marked.
