Tickets are 31 Swiss francs for adults and 17 Swiss francs for my 7-year-old daughter. The zoo is a forest park. The animals here live very comfortably, with a lot of space and a great environment. Every door in the park is a place to rest and eat, with lots of shade. In the ape house, we saw koalas. We thought they were in the trees or hiding, but when we saw them, they climbed down from the trees. They were so cute. There are also many places for children to play. In short, it is very suitable for families to bring their children to play.
Zoo Zurich Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Zurich Zoo is one of the most popular zoos in Europe. There are currently about 360 species of animals, including snow leopards, spectacled bears, giant tortoises, emperor penguins and other precious species. In 2009, the zoo developed the Masora rainforest with an area of 10,000 square kilometers, during which tropical jungle creatures such as flying foxes are stocked, which is very worth seeing. In addition, "Penguin Parade Play" is also one of the signature projects of Zurich Zoo. Whenever the temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius, the penguins in the Antarctic Pavilion can play outdoors at noon. They are very cute and very popular with tourists.

Exceptions are the Lori aviary, where approved feed is sold, and the giraffe and porcupine feeds in the Lewa Savannah, accompanied by animal keepers.
Smoking is permitted outdoors or in designated «smoking zones». Out of consideration for our animals and our Zoo visitors, smoking is prohibited in all buildings and animal houses and at the entrances to Zoo Zurich, the animal houses and the zoo restaurants as well as in walk-in animal enclosures (such as the Australia outdoor area or the Ibis Aviary). This also applies to e-cigarettes.
