The story
Inside Romanescu Park, which is the single most useful thing about it: the zoo and the park are one trip rather than two, and when the children have had enough there are ninety-six free hectares immediately outside the gate.
Described honestly it is a provincial zoo rather than a European flagship — and the practical consequence is in your favour. It takes an hour and a half rather than a whole day, it is already where you were going, and it does not need to carry the afternoon on its own.
Check the hours before setting out; the park never closes but this does, and Craiova is not a city where opening times are reliably published. Craiova with children has the rest of the options, including Castelul Fermecat — which is also inside the park, despite several listings placing it in the city centre.
