October 14 is the opening day of the National Zoological Park in Riga

The first modern zoos were built several hundred years ago. In November 1992, the zoo and aquarium were included in the European Zoo Associations. On December 22, the Supreme Council of the Republic of Latvia decided to grant the status of the National Zoological Park to the Riga Zoological Park. In July 1993, an out-of-town base of the Zoo was established. In 1997, a moving exhibition called "Little Giants" was launched at the Zoo, where moving puppets interpreted several times enlarged insects. The exhibition also features live exhibits and developmental games. The Tiger House opened on November 1998, 13 - the largest construction project in Europe, built for the charity of the company and interested people. The largest amount of funding was provided by the Latvian Fund for Environmental Protection and Master Foods. On May 1999, 15, the Village Yard was opened, where you can get information and get acquainted with pets belonging to Latvia. On May 25, the doors of the tropical house of the Riga Zoo, which has 80 species of animals, opened its doors to visitors. There are reptiles, boneless and nocturnal animals that live both in water and on land. This is the largest Zoo in Riga, where a collection of mostly leafy ants is of interest.
