Zurich Zoo

Nestled on the slopes of Zürichberg mountain, this thoughtfully designed zoo houses over 360 animal species in naturalistic habitats that prioritize animal welfare and education. The sprawling 22-hectare grounds seamlessly blend into the surrounding forest, offering visitors intimate encounters with everything from African elephants and snow leopards to playful otters and exotic reptiles. What sets Zurich Zoo apart is its commitment to conservation research and its role as a sanctuary where visitors can witness animals thriving in carefully recreated ecosystems.
