Zurich Zoo is an absolute gem! Our visit here was nothing short of spectacular. The zoo's commitment to wildlife conservation is truly commendable.

The variety of animals and their well-maintained habitats left us in awe. We were able to see animals from all over the world, and the enclosures felt spacious and natural, providing a comfortable and enriching environment for the animals.

It's an enriching experience for families, nature enthusiasts, and anyone who cares about our planet's wildlife.

Easy to reach from Zurich HB , Zoo is very huge , animals and birds well care . Enough space for them and close to their natural space. Tips : zoo is very big comfortable shoes is must ! Snakes abs water is allowed. Feed animals not allowed , to cut bamboo for home as souvenir is prohibited! There is a big shop with unique souvenirs with friendly prices !

I don‘t know too many Zoos, but Zoo Zürich must be among the best. The management is doing a great job and is constantly upgrading ans enlarging the site thanks to successful fundraising campaigns. I believe they are doing a great job in providing a surrounding for the animals that is as natural as possible. Of course, the latter is more true for the never facilities than for the older ones.

Zurich Zoo is known to be one of the best zoos in the world. However, our experience was extremely disappointing. The zoo is very big and can hold a large capacity of animals. But we barely saw any animals on the day. The directions weren't the most useful and it was particularly hot which made it even more of an ordeal. The inside toy train known as the Masoala express was a welcome respite and we used it often to transport ourselves from place to place. We didn’t see a lot of the indoor animals and even the whale: ocean animals sections had a PowerPoint presentation running! We went on a weekday and it was slightly crowded but no long lines. The restaurant within had a wide array of food and drinks which was quite enjoyable with a decent view of birds and ducks. We plan to go back again and hope for a better experience.

Super für Kinder. Die Ziegen können angefasst werden, die Tiere freuen sich von den Kindern oder Erwachsenen * Gestrigelt* zu werden

Great place to visit. Was worried about parking as I visited on a Saturday but this was very well organised and lots of spaces.

The attractions are great. Had to revise our route due to the car park we parked at and entering the park at a side entrance (hint this was much less busy than the main entrance).

My favourites were the elephants and gorillas. The gift shops and restaurants were good to.

Highly recommended. 5*****

Really nice Zoo, we went there after lunchtime (15:00) and there were no queues and it was super quick to get in.
The park was not too crowded at this time either, which in turn gave us a really nice experience as well.

I think this may be the reason many of the animals did not hide, so it was nice to be able to see so many of them!

After we walked through the full park, we treated ourselves a mini-safari-train back!

Zurich Zoo is a great place for animal and nature enthusiasts. The bird aviaries offer a fascinating experience as birds fly freely in spacious enclosures, showcasing their vibrant plumage and graceful flight patterns. The giraffe exhibit is impressive, and their majestic presence is captivating. The big room with trees and animals provides an immersive environment, giving visitors a sense of being in a natural setting. The zoo's commitment to spacious and comfortable habitats for the animals is commendable, making it an educational and enjoyable destination to learn about wildlife and conservation. 🐦🦒🌳🐾
Australien hat mehr eindrückliche Landschaften als Steppe ... chancen für neue Ideen ... Wie waers mit mehr gamified information... es muss nicht immer ein Tier sein das man live sieht ... Biologie kann auf viele Weise erlebbar gemacht werden ... fuer Ideen bitte um Kontakt

the local ZooCafé is located outside, on the left side of the Zurich Zoological Garden. To access the ZooCafé there is therefore no need to buy a ticket, since it is located at the external entrance of the Zurich Zoological Garden. The internal furniture is made of natural wood, which makes the atmosphere truly relaxing and pleasant to stay in, spending time savoring the proposals offered and also giving pleasant attention to one's senses. We immerse ourselves in this way, pleasantly inspired to imagine what will come, stimulated by emotions and senses, preparing ourselves to go on an adventure in the guided tours inside the Zoo. The local ZooCafè is the starting point that regenerates us, creating values in harmony with man and nature.

Einfach nur umwerfend was hier der Zoo auf die Beine gestellt hat, um auch den kleinen eine Freunde zu machen, indem sie die Tiere auch mal streicheln dürfen

Fancy cafe place at the entrance to the Zoo. It was great, quiet atmosphere just what we needed after the noisy zoo visit. The inside deco is also very relaxing and proper for the zoo theme. We will go there again.
