Description of the attraction
Mogilev Zoo is perhaps the youngest and most unusual of all zoos in the Republic of Belarus. It was created in 2004 on the basis of the Mogilev Agrotechnical College, where future huntsmen and foresters are trained. The zoo was opened on May 9, 2005. The zoo is located in the village of Buinichi, Mogilev region.
The uncommonness of the Mogilev Zoo in the approach to the planning of the territory. Aviaries and cages with animals are freely located on a large area (124 hectares) along the Dnieper River. On its territory, two routes are specially laid: pedestrian and railway. The walking route is replete with suspension bridges, observation platforms, forest paths, along which enclosures with animals are located. This layout allows visitors to observe the animals in their natural habitat.
The length of the railway route is 2 kilometers. The railway opened in 2009. A bright wagon and toy wagons will take their passengers on a bison safari. The kings of the Belarusian forests - bison, as well as sika deer and European fallow deer - roam freely along the railway. Here they live freely - no one locks them up and does not restrict their freedom. Visitors to the zoo can admire these rare fearful animals that are not afraid of people in the zoo. The railway follows the trail of a prehistoric glacier that teems with deep canyons. Some bridges pass over these relict canyons, sometimes at a decent height. But do not worry - the safety of passengers is thought out to the smallest detail.
The owners of the zoo did not forget about the comfort for the visitors. On the territory there are many picturesque corners with benches and gazebos where you can sit and relax. There are also many small cozy cafes where you can have a snack or coffee. For the children, ice cream and sweets will be offered here.
The Zoological Garden is not only an entertainment facility. A lot of scientific and educational work is being carried out here. Wild animals who are in trouble or sick are undergoing rehabilitation here. Here pupils and students study representatives of the animal world not only of their homeland, but also of other countries. The younger generation learns to take care of and look after the most exotic and capricious animals and birds. The Zoo takes part in environmental activities, conducts educational work among schoolchildren.
