The Vsevolod Sysoyev Far Eastern Zoo gives Khabarovsk a wildlife stop with a regional focus, especially useful for travellers curious about the animals of the Amur and Far Eastern forests. It is smaller and more local than a major capital zoo.
As with any zoo, the value of the visit depends on your interest and comfort with animal collections. It is most worthwhile for families or visitors who want context before heading into the wider Amur landscape.
