An oasis of greenery on a wooded hill east of the city's downtown area, Zoo Zurich shelters over 2,000 animals of about 250 different species. In addition to a large aquarium and open-air aviary, the park features special areas dedicated to African animals, as well as large enclosures for red pandas, snow leopards, tigers, lions, and otters. A replica of a tropical rainforest, the zoo's top attraction, provides visitors with a hands-on learning experience about the natural environments of Madagascar. If you time things right, you may be able to catch the daily penguin parade. Check the website for special events and guided tour options.

  Super zoo with big enclosures for the animals. They look happy and well taken care of. Some of the enclosures are pretty new. Big variety of animals. The big greenhouse is amazing, and totally worth a visit. Easy to get to the zoo by public transportation from Zürich central station.
