Dobuļi Mini Zoo is a family-run wildlife facility located in the Bauska region of Latvia. The zoo specializes in housing exotic, farm, and wild animals within a rural, park-like environment. Notable residents include camels, wallabies, ostriches, llamas, and various deer species. The facility emphasizes close-range observation of animals in relatively naturalistic enclosures. Visitors can walk through designated areas to view a wide variety of species across several hectares of landscape. The site serves as both an educational destination and a space for private animal care.
The elevated viewing area near the camel and llama paddocks provides a clear, unobstructed background.
Wear comfortable, sturdy walking shoes as the paths consist of dirt and grass that can become uneven.
Check weather forecasts before visiting, as the experience is entirely outdoors with limited indoor shelter for visitors.
Bring a camera with a zoom lens to capture animals that prefer staying at the back of their enclosures.
Do not attempt to pet or touch animals unless supervised by staff, as some species may react defensively to unexpected movements.
The zoo is primarily open during the warmer seasons; operations may be restricted or limited during winter months due to animal welfare and weather conditions.
Do not feed the animals unless explicit permission is granted by staff; do not cross any safety barriers or tap on enclosures.
