Basketball fans – also at Rīga ZOO!

From August 27 to September 14, Riga will host FIBA EuroBasket 2025, and Rīga ZOO invites all basketball fans to enjoy a special offer. Before, after or in between games, come to the zoo to relax among animals and enjoy a refreshing walk in the open air.

At Rīga ZOO you can meet hundreds of animals – from majestic tigers and lions to the sporty seals, who are surprisingly good at scoring penalty shots. You can even see their basketball skills during the daily feeding session at 11:00.

By presenting any EuroBasket 2025 game ticket, visitors can join a free guided tour every day at 11:00 and 14:00 in English. During the tour you will learn fascinating facts about the zoo’s inhabitants and their habits, and also take part in a raffle to win a Rīga ZOO souvenir.

If you present a ticket from the same day’s EuroBasket 2025 game, your Rīga ZOO admission will cost only 5 euros.

Rīga ZOO also offers many other exciting experiences. Daily feeding demonstrations bring the zoo to life – this is when animals become especially active and give visitors a chance to see their natural behavior up close. You can watch seals, lemurs, giraffes, hippos, tapirs and many others enjoy their meals.

If the weather is not perfect for an outdoor visit, you can always explore the indoor exhibitions. The Tropic House and other indoor spaces let you experience the atmosphere of the zoo even on rainy or hot days. And when the temperature is cooler or the skies are cloudy, you may also see more of those animals that usually avoid the heat.

Rīga ZOO is open every day from 10:00 to 19:00.
