Very nice cozy little zoo in Daugavpils. It also has terrarium. There are turtles, fishes, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, snakes, iguanas, lizzards, monkeys, bats, meerkats and ants. Very interesting to watch them all. Especially we enjoyed ants carrying leaves into their house over our heads. We brought sliced apple and the supervising boy let us to feed the rabbit. Our little daughter like it very much! The price is not high at all, only 0.60EUR for the adult and 0.30 for childred. But they didn't charge us for our 3 years old girl. Place really worth to visit.

A fascinating place with an interesting history. It is a combination of very well restored buildings put to variety of uses, historic buildings slowly deteriorating and begging for restoration and horrible soviet blocks. Some buildings are home. You can walk around the top old fortifications and get an idea of the scale of the place. The fact that we’ll before it was completed Napoleon failed to conquer it is testament to the effective design of this type of fortification. It is well worth a trip to see it.

Beautiful fountain in the centre is illuminated in the evening. The park is at the river end of the long pedestrian mail thoroughfare which is extremely pleasant, other than the electric scooters which zip up and down. The war memorials are at the far end with the lovely statue of one of the original Mayors to the side.
