Description Destination

Visit the exotic animal world and the pets in the children's zoo and take a trip around the world in one day - right in the middle of Basel.

Basel Zoo has fascinated the public since it opened in 1874 and is one of the most visited attractions in Switzerland. Its principles are recreation, education, nature conservation and research. Basel Zoo sees itself as an ambassador between man and nature. In its almost 150-year history, the zoo has become a tradition that is particularly anchored in the hearts of the people of Basel.

A visit is worthwhile all year round: in summer the park invites you to take a leisurely stroll and observe the animals in the outdoor areas, in winter the animal houses offer animal encounters up close.
