Зверинецкий форт на месте нынешнего Ботанического сада им. Гришко был возведен накануне войны 1812 года. Впрочем, как и Цитадель, Зверинецкий форт в военных действиях участия не принимал.

Это единственное укрепление Киевской крепости, практически полностью разрушенное. Форт использовали как склад боеприпасов. Летом 1918 года здесь прогремел мощнейший взрыв, разрушивший близлежащие кварталы.
