It's a little distance from the center, but if you are in the city for awhile, it is nice to walk among the trees.

If you ever visit Zagreb, do not miss park Maksimir. Take some food, vine, enjoy the entire day with friends and loved ones in this beautiful oasis of peace and nature in the heart of Zagreb. Do not expect many commercial facilities. There is one restaurant, one cafe, few ice cream places and the Zoo. All the rest is nature,... More

With 4 small children, it was the perfect way to spend our day! The park is enormous, but it has maps and clear paths. We went straight to the zoo - which our kids loved - and then played on the playground afterwards. It was a GREAT playground. We had coffee in a cafe inside the park and their were... More

Almost in the middle of the Zagreb you could find Maksimir park. There is long walk along park, few lakes where you can take a boat and go in the middle of the lake to rest with your love. There is few places to rest and drink something. Also there is Zoo which is every day more beautiful. I recommend... More

If you plan a longer stay in Zagreb, this is an oasis you must visit. But, it's just too relaxing for a passer-by through Zagreb:)

Very nice ZOO. Especially the location. It is situated in the Maksimir park - nice walk with lakes and beautiful trees. The animal facilities are OK, the numebr of animals too. Well, if you compare it with some more famous ZOOs in US or Singapore, it is less attractive. But definitively worth visiting.

Large park with a small zoo. Had fairly good tea in the pavillion up a hill, park prices. Then walked towards the zoo, which being half-term in Croatia was invaded with school children. A charge to get in. Nearby zoo was acoustic bandstand which although quite small amplified sound dramatically and is well worth making noises inside for the astonishing... More

Beautiful park to enjoy the nature and relax. It has few lakes, lots of benches and restaurants. It's nice place to spend few hours away from city noise.
