Estonian wildlife parks, petting zoos and animal farms – a collection of 25 exciting places for the whole family

Childhood is not made up solely of toys, phones, and cartoons. Sometimes, one carrot, a friendly alpaca, or a curious goat is enough to create a memory that a child will still recall years later.

That is exactly why petting zoos and animal parks have become increasingly popular in Estonia. They are not merely places where animals can be observed. They are places where visitors can truly meet animals, feed and pet them, and observe their behavior firsthand. Such an experience teaches children care, responsibility, and respect for nature much better than any textbook.

Estonia has a surprisingly large number of animal parks and farms where you can spend an entire day among animals. In some places, alpacas, ponies and rabbits await visitors. Elsewhere, you can see kangaroos, capybaras, camels or even zebras. There are small family farms where all the animals know the visitors by name, as well as large animal parks with enough to explore for an entire day.

In this comprehensive overview, we have gathered the most interesting petting zoos, animal parks, and farms in Estonia, which are ideal for families, nature lovers, and anyone who wants to spend quality time with animals.
