    Local transport

    Get around the city with these convenient transport options.

    city bus

    Estimated costApprox. KZT 200 one-way per passenger (estimate; confirm fare on board)
    Best forAlmaty International Airport (ALA) to the city centre, including the night bus service

    Airport transport guides describe city bus routes and a night bus (No. 3) linking ALA with Almaty. Buses are the cheapest leg but slow with luggage, and you still need a taxi or bus onward to Atakent in the Bostandyk district.

    metro

    Estimated costApprox. KZT 100 per single journey token (estimate; confirm at station)
    Best forAlmaty metro, single journey in the city centre

    The Almaty metro is a compact single-line system serving the central districts; it does not reach the Atakent exhibition complex, so plan a bus or taxi for the final leg. Timetables and station details are published on almatymetro.com.

    taxi

    Estimated costApprox. KZT 4,500-7,500 for the 22-25 km trip (metered or app fare; confirm before departure)
    Best forAlmaty International Airport (ALA) to «Atakent» Expo Centre, Pavilion 8

    The fastest door-to-door option with luggage. The route typically runs via the eastern ring road and Al-Farabi Avenue, with 40-60 minutes in normal traffic and longer during the morning peak.

    ride-hail

    Estimated costApprox. KZT 1,500-3,000 per app-booked trip in city traffic (app quote at booking)
    Best forCross-city trip within Almaty, for example hotel to Atakent Pavilion 8

    Yandex Go and similar apps are widely used in Almaty; the app quote is fixed before pickup. Enter the destination in Cyrillic if possible and confirm the car plate before getting in.

    parking

    Estimated costApprox. KZT 500-1,500 per day (estimate; confirm the rate at the car park entry)
    Best forAtakent Expo Centre on-site car park, Pavilion 8

    On-site parking is available at the Atakent complex and is the simplest option for exhibitors with stand materials. Arrive early on the first show morning, when delivery vans and build-up traffic compete for spaces.

    taxi

    Estimated costApprox. USD taxi/rideshare from NQZ to venue (estimate; confirm before travel)
    Best forAstana Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport (NQZ) to «Atakent» Expo Centre, Pavilion 8

    Requires a domestic flight of roughly 1.5-2 hours, then a 40-60 minute transfer to Atakent; Located in Astana, not Almaty. Only relevant if you are routing through the Kazakh capital for a domestic connection; do not plan a ground transfer from NQZ to the venue.

    Weather

    Mid-April is spring shoulder season in Almaty: afternoons usually reach the mid-teens Celsius, nights drop to around 4-8 C, and roughly 14 rain days are typical for the month, so short showers are plausible on any of the three show days. The Atakent complex involves walking between Pavilion 8, outdoor display areas and car parks, so a light waterproof jacket and an umbrella are more useful than heavy winter clothing. Check the forecast in the week before travel, since spring weather in the foothills of the Trans-Ili Alatau can swing quickly.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    Kazakhstan's mobile networks (Beeline Kazakhstan, Kcell/activ and Tele2) offer prepaid tourist SIMs with data, sold at operator shops and airport kiosks; an eSIM bought before departure avoids queueing on arrival. Hotel and venue Wi-Fi is standard, and Atakent exhibition halls generally provide connectivity for registered participants, but treat hall Wi-Fi as best-effort and tether from a local SIM for live demos or video calls. Download offline maps and a translation app in English-Russian or English-Kazakh before landing, and note that some Kazakh websites and apps use Cyrillic place names.

    Ride-hailing

    Taxis

    Public transit

    Car rentals

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Language on the show floor

    Kazakh and Russian are the working languages in Almaty; most exhibitors and distributors negotiate in Russian. English is common at international stands and hotel desks but not universal in taxis or small shops, so bring a translation app or a Russian-speaking colleague for contract talks.

    Greetings and business etiquette

    A handshake is the standard greeting in business settings and is offered regardless of gender, usually standing. Exchange business cards early, ideally with a Russian or Kazakh-language side, and address counterparts by first name plus patronymic in formal meetings if you know it.

    Tea, hospitality and meeting rhythm

    Meetings often start with tea and a few minutes of conversation before commercial topics; rushing straight to price can read as dismissive. Hospitality is taken seriously, and accepting a second cup is a normal courtesy during distributor discussions.

    Dress, tipping and daily practicalities

    Business casual is the norm at Almaty trade events: smart trousers and a jacket or a collared shirt work for both show days and evening meetings. Tipping of around 10 percent is appreciated in restaurants, cards are accepted in hotels and larger venues, and small tenge notes are useful for taxis, buses and cloakrooms.

    Local sensitivities around animals

    Zoo and pet events touch on animal welfare and veterinary regulation, topics that local authorities and NGOs follow closely. Present livestock, breeding and animal-handling practices factually on your stand, and keep documentation ready if visitors ask about transport conditions or animal health certificates.

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Destination: ALA

    Book into Almaty International Airport (ALA) rather than Astana, which is over 1,000 km away and requires a separate domestic flight. Direct services to ALA operate from Istanbul, Dubai, Moscow, Tashkent and Urumqi, with one-stop options from Western Europe via Istanbul or Dubai. For the 14-16 April 2027 show, aim to land on 13 April to absorb the 40-60 minute airport transfer and be on the floor for the first morning; book return legs for the evening of 16 April or the morning of 17 April. Fares quoted elsewhere on this page are approximate bands, not live prices.

    Transport

    Get to the venue and around the city with these options.

    Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Almaty International Airport (ALA): Approx. 40-60 minutes by taxi or ride-hail depending on traffic; Astana Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport (NQZ): Requires a domestic flight of roughly 1.5-2 hours, then a 40-60 minute transfer to Atakent. Allow road or rail time to «Atakent» Expo Centre, Pavilion 8; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.

    Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near «Atakent» Expo Centre, Pavilion 8: Bostandyk district, Almaty: Budget and guesthouse tier, Bostandyk district near Atakent; Bostandyk / Almaly, Almaty: Midscale business hotels, Bostandyk and Almaly districts; Almaly / Medeu districts, Almaty: International-brand hotels, central Almaty.

    Ride-hail: Ride-hailing is the default way to move around Almaty: Yandex Go is the most widely used app, with other local options available. Fares are quoted in tenge before pickup, so no meter negotiation is needed, and both card and cash payment are common. Enter the destination in Cyrillic (Атакент, павильон 8) so the driver matches the right entrance, and expect surge pricing during the morning show rush and in rain.

    Public transit: Almaty's public transport combines a compact single-line metro serving the central districts with an extensive city bus network. The metro does not reach Atakent, so the practical route is metro or bus into the city, then a bus or taxi to the Bostandyk district venue. Airport buses, including a night service, connect ALA with the city. Fares are low by international standards and are paid per journey; keep small tenge notes or use a contactless transport card where accepted.

    Parking: Atakent Expo Centre has on-site parking used by exhibitors and visitors, which is the easiest option if you carry stand materials or product samples. Arrive before the morning opening to secure a space, and expect congestion on the first show day when build-up vehicles and deliveries overlap with visitor arrivals. Parking charges, if applied, are settled at the car park entry; confirm the current rate with the venue rather than relying on a published figure.

    Weather

    Plan and pack for the event climate.

    Month: April 2027 (show dates 14-16 April)

    Temperature: Daytime highs typically 14-18 C, nights around 4-8 C (approximate spring averages; check the forecast before departure)

    Seasonality: April is one of the wetter months in Almaty, with roughly 14 rain days across the month, so short showers and grey mornings are possible during the three show days rather than sustained all-day rain

    Packing: Pack a light waterproof jacket or compact umbrella, layers for cool mornings that warm up by afternoon, and comfortable waterproof shoes for walking between Pavilion 8, outdoor display areas and car parks. A scarf or light sweater helps for evening dinners, and sunscreen is worth carrying for clear spring days at altitude.

    FAQs & glossary

    Answers

    Frequently asked

    When and where is Zoo Expo Kazakhstan 2027 held?
    The 2027 edition runs 14-16 April 2027 at the Atakent Expo Centre, Pavilion 8, in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Atakent is in the Bostandyk district, roughly 40-60 minutes by road from Almaty International Airport (ALA) depending on traffic.
    What products can I find at Zoo Expo Kazakhstan?
    The show covers the pet and zoo supply chain: dry and wet pet food and treats, veterinary medicines and clinic consumables, grooming tools and cosmetics, aquariums, terrariums and aquascaping equipment, cages, carriers, bedding, toys, hygiene products and pet retail accessories. Check the exhibitor list on zooexpo.kz before travelling to confirm a specific brand is represented.
    Is Zoo Expo Kazakhstan open to the public or trade only?
    It is organised as an industry exhibition for pet trade, veterinary and grooming professionals. Registration categories and badge rules are set by the organiser, so confirm on zooexpo.kz whether a visitor pass is trade-only before you book travel.
    How do I register as a visitor?
    Visitor registration is handled through the official site, zooexpo.kz. Complete the online form ahead of the show, keep the confirmation with your travel documents and bring photo ID matching the name on the badge.
    Who exhibits at a pet industry expo in Kazakhstan?
    Typical exhibitor profiles are pet food producers and importers, veterinary pharmaceutical and equipment suppliers, grooming brands, aquarium and terrarium suppliers, accessory and toy manufacturers, and packaging or retail-service providers. The organiser's exhibitor catalogue for the current edition is the reliable source for the confirmed list.
    How do I get from Almaty International Airport to Atakent Expo Centre?
    ALA is the practical gateway. The drive is roughly 22-25 km and typically 40-60 minutes by taxi or ride-hail, depending on traffic on the ring road and Al-Farabi Avenue. City buses connect the airport with the city, after which you take a taxi or bus to Atakent; the metro does not run directly to the exhibition complex.
    Do I need a visa to attend from abroad?
    Visa rules depend on nationality. Kazakhstan's visa and migration portal (vmp.gov.kz) handles visa and e-visa applications, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs publishes e-visa guidance on gov.kz. Check your regime and processing time well before booking flights.
    What is the weather like in Almaty in mid-April?
    Mid-April is spring shoulder season: daytime highs usually sit in the mid-teens Celsius, nights fall to around 4-8 C, and rain days are common. Bring a light waterproof layer and an umbrella for the walk between halls and the outdoor areas at Atakent.
    Which language is used at the show?
    Kazakh and Russian are the working languages in Almaty, and organiser materials are typically bilingual. English is used by international exhibitors and at hotel or airport desks, but an interpreter or a translated product sheet helps in negotiations with local distributors.
    How many days do I need at the exhibition?
    Two full show days are enough to cover the pet food, veterinary and grooming sections plus follow-up meetings; add half a day if you also need aquatics, terrariums and retail fittings. The show runs 14-16 April 2027, so arriving on 13 April gives you a full first morning.
    Can I bring my own pet or animal products to the exhibition?
    Personal pets are not part of standard visitor access, and live animals or animal-derived products are subject to Kazakh veterinary and customs rules. Contact the organiser and check import requirements before carrying any animal product into the country.
    Where should I stay for Zoo Expo Kazakhstan?
    Hotels in the Bostandyk district near Atakent keep transfers to 10-20 minutes by taxi, while central Almaty hotels offer more dining options at a 20-35 minute drive. Book early because April is a busy spring period in the city.

    Glossary

    1
    Zoo and pet trade
    The commercial segment covering live animals and supplies for pets, ornamental fish, reptiles and small animals. At Zoo Expo Kazakhstan it appears as parallel sections: pet food, veterinary products, grooming, aquatics, terrariums and accessories.
    2
    Dry vs wet pet food
    Dry food is extruded and kibbled with low moisture for shelf stability; wet food is retorted in cans, pouches or trays at high moisture. Both categories are core buyer segments at the show, with different storage, shelf-life and margin profiles for retailers.
    3
    Extrusion
    The cooking and shaping process behind most dry dog and cat food, where ingredients are pushed through a die under heat and pressure. Equipment and ingredient suppliers discuss throughput and kibble shape when selling to regional producers.
    4
    Veterinary pharmacy (veterinary medicines)
    The regulated supply chain of prescription and over-the-counter animal medicines, including antiparasitics, vaccines and antibiotics. Buyers check registration status and cold-chain handling before listing a product.
    5
    Parasite control / antiparasitics
    Products against fleas, ticks, mites and internal worms, sold as spot-ons, collars, tablets and injectables. A high-frequency repeat purchase category for veterinary clinics and pet shops.
    6
    Grooming tools and consumables
    Clippers, blades, scissors, dryers, combs, shampoos and conditioners used by professional groomers. Blades and shampoos are consumables that drive repeat orders at the show.
    7
    Aquascaping
    Designing planted freshwater aquariums using substrate, hardscape (wood, stone) and aquatic plants. It drives sales of tanks, lighting, CO2 systems and livestock for aquarium retailers.
    8
    Terrarium husbandry
    Keeping reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates with correct heating, UV lighting, humidity and substrate. A specialised niche with technical equipment buyers and live-animal suppliers.
    9
    Veterinary consumables
    Disposable and single-use clinic items such as syringes, catheters, gloves, surgical drapes and dressings, purchased in bulk on price and availability rather than brand alone.
    10
    Private label pet food
    Retailer-branded food produced by a third-party manufacturer. A growing route for Kazakh distributors and retail chains to differentiate without building their own plant.
    11
