Zoo Zürich

Zoo Zürich is home to over 380 animal species and offers unique, near-natural habitats such as the Lewa Savanna, the Masoala Rainforest, and the Kaeng Krachan Elephant Park. Through these habitats, visitors are not only given an insight into the animal world but also made more aware of the protection of species and their natural habitats. The zoo sees itself as a place of education that, through various programs and events, aims to convey more about the way of life of animals and the importance of species conservation.

The philosophy of the zoo focuses on sustainable development and animal welfare. The current program also includes numerous research projects and species conservation initiatives that actively contribute to preserving endangered species. Among these are work on breeding programs and support for conservation projects in the animals' home countries.

Accessibility of the zoo is also ensured, as the zoo is easy to reach by public transport. Parking spaces are limited, which makes arrival by public transport advisable. Opening hours vary by season, with the zoo open from November to February from 9:00 to 17:00 and from March to October from 9:00 to 18:00.

Visitors can look forward to special events and guided tours offered regularly, as well as a range of culinary options in the zoo restaurants. Exploration of the animal world is supported by modern technologies such as an app that offers additional information about the animals and their habitats. Zoo Zürich is thus a place that appeals to nature and animal lovers and makes a significant contribution to conservation.
