Ähtäri Zoo is a 60-hectare (150-acre) zoo in Ähtäri, Finland. The zoo was founded in 1973 and closed in the fall of 2025 due to the bankruptcy of its parent company, Ähtärin Eläinpuisto Oy. A new company, Mesi Zoo Oy, began operating the zoo in February 2026 in cooperation with nonprofit organization Vieraile ja Välität ry, which is responsible for the care of the animals.
