The Attica Zoological Park has four sections: Zoological Park, Dolphinarium, Dinosavropolis and Okeanopolis. It extends to a total area of 20 hectares and is designed as a miniature of five continents of the world with more than 2 000 animals from 350 species.

It is very clean, fun and animals are very well kept. Nice day in the park is not only about watching the animals but learning valuable lessons, experiencing the world and the environment in which we live in and even walking amongst some of the animals. Visiting the zoo is a celebration of senses and offers a great feeling of relaxation.

The most impressive part of the zoo is the third largest bird collection in the world followed by recently opened, the first and only, Dolphinarium in Greece. The Attica zoological Park truly reaches its goal to raise awareness of the animal kingdom and gives an good effort to preserve endangered species for all of us. Somewhere round 60% of the zoo's animals are rare or even threatened by extinction.
