Zoological Garden

Considered one of the best-known zoos in Europe, the Zurich Zoological Garden houses approximately 2,200 animals from 260 species in addition to an aquarium and open-air aviary. A variety of habitats make it possible for visitors to see animals up close, including the Africa house, ape house, and terrariums, in addition to the elephant and giant-tortoise houses.
One of the most popular attractions at the Zurich Zoological Garden is the tropical rainforest replica, which is housed in a state-of-the-art building that successfully replicates the temperatures, light, and humidity of Madagascar.
