Slakki Petting Zoo

The Golden Circle


For more than 20 years, this petting zoo in small-town Iceland has been a popular hang-out for families passing through the village of Laugarás. Orphaned foxes live in the outside garden, locked away from goats, bunnies, parrots, rodents and kittens.

Admission includes access to a miniature golf course set inside a greenhouse. There's also a restaurant serving cakes and greasy food at a reasonable price.
