Positives:

  • Off-peak calm: Park is quiet on weekdays and outside school holidays, ideal for solo reflection.
  • Clear signage: Well-marked paths and maps help you navigate solo without a guide.

Challenges:

  • Long distances: You may walk over 5 km to see all exhibits; wear supportive shoes.
  • Summer heat: Limited shade in open areas can make midday uncomfortable.

Since moving to Greece, I’ve loved having the annual pass to the Attica Zoo. Today I watched the staff brushing the seals’ teeth, and it truly warmed my heart. The care and dedication for the animals is amazing.

We really enjoyed our visit, so much we stayed 6 hours! If you have young kids, renting a trolley is worth it as there is obviously a lot of walking. Regardless of what you think of zoos, the zoo is clean, animals seem healthy and happy and it’s a great educational environment for children to learn to respect the planet and the animal kingdom. A fantastic day out!
