Zoo Hannover

Hannover Zoo was built in 1865 and covers an area of 22 hectares. As one of the Expo 2000 projects, Hannover spent 5 years since 1999 to transform the original traditional zoo into an adventure zoo that is now attractive all over the world. This form of adventure park has no precedent in Europe. No zoo has created an amusement park where animals and humans can come so close to each other in such a short period of time. There are 233 species of animals and about 1,800 animals. The zoo received more than 1.2 million visitors in 2006. According to the survey, most visitors rate Hannover Zoo as very good or good.
