The Leningrad Zoo (Russian: Ленингра́дский зоопа́рк), sometimes called the Saint Petersburg Zoo or Sankt-Peterburgskiy Zoopark (Russian: Санкт-Петербу́ргский зоопа́рк), in Saint Petersburg (formerly Leningrad), Russia, is located in Alexander Park in the Petrogradskaya Storona.

The zoo suffered greatly during the war, but did not stop its work even during the most difficult times of the Leningrad Blockade.

The zoo was opened permanently in the spring of 1944, and since development in the new area was not possible, restoration work began on the old site.

This building was only opened for visitors in 2007, renamed as ‘Exotarium’, which houses fish, snakes, lizards, turtles, crocodiles and other animals.

Priority has been given to the smaller species which don't require a lot of space, as the zoo has limited area.
