Latgale Zoological Garden

Reviewed By Uzpelkiene - Visaginas, Lithuania

Very nice cozy little zoo in Daugavpils. It also has terrarium. There are turtles, fishes, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, snakes, iguanas, lizzards, monkeys, bats, meerkats and ants. Very interesting to watch them all. Especially we enjoyed ants carrying leaves into their house over our heads. We brought sliced apple and the supervising boy let us to feed the rabbit. Our little daughter like it very much! The price is not high at all, only 0.60EUR for the adult and 0.30 for childred. But they didn't charge us for our 3 years old girl. Place really worth to visit.

Reviewed By martinsQ6334NU - Sidcup, United Kingdom

Beautiful fountain in the centre is illuminated in the evening. The park is at the river end of the long pedestrian mail thoroughfare which is extremely pleasant, other than the electric scooters which zip up and down. The war memorials are at the far end with the lovely statue of one of the original Mayors to the side.
