Going on a world tour together

In the heart of the city of Leipzig is the Leipzig Zoo, which is one of the most beautiful zoos in Germany and is considered one of the most species-rich zoos in Europe. Founded in 1878, the zoo provides a species-appropriate home for over 5000 animals from different regions of the world. Visitors can explore six different nature-based adventure worlds, an aquarium, a birdhouse, and the largest ape enclosure in the world. Throughout the day, animal feedings and explanations take place at selected enclosures. Leipzig Zoo is ideal for family outings: the spacious enclosures offer the animals a pleasing amount of space and are designed in such a way that they are easy to see, even for small children. In addition, visitors can observe the animals from different levels. If you need a break from the animal experience, children can let off steam at the various playgrounds and play stations. A special highlight at Leipzig Zoo is Gondwanaland, Europe's largest tropical hall, which can be navigated by boat and delights with different types of animals and plants. In high season, families can take the Safari Train and explore the Kiwara Village. For animal-loving visitors and especially families, Leipzig Zoo is a worthwhile destination.
