History and Animal Collection of the Zoo

The Family and Pet Zoo was officially opened to the public on May 19, 1990. Over the years, it has expanded its collection to include not just domestic animals, but also a variety of wild animals. Visitors can now see animals such as seals and minks, providing a more diverse and enriching experience.

Reykjavik Family Park and Zoo Reviews

Reykjavik Family Park and Zoo has 1 rating.

  • Apollo's Insights AI-Generated

    The Reykjavik Family Park and Zoo offers a mix of experiences for visitors, though opinions are somewhat divided. The zoo section, while small, features native Icelandic animals such as Arctic foxes, seals, and reindeer, which many find interesting. However, some visitors feel the enclosures could be larger or more naturalistic. The family park area includes rides and activities that are generally well-received by families with young children, especially during summer. The petting zoo is often highlighted as a positive feature, allowing close interaction with farm animals. On the downside, some visitors find the overall experience limited compared to larger zoos or amusement parks, and the admission price is occasionally mentioned as being high for the offerings. The location, set in a forested area, is generally appreciated for its pleasant atmosphere. While it may not be a top attraction for all tourists, it seems to be a decent option for families looking for a few hours of entertainment, particularly those interested in seeing Icelandic wildlife.
