One of the most beautiful zoos in Europe. The rainforest hall is simply impressive, you could spend a whole day there alone. A really special experience is when the king penguins set off on their rounds through the zoo in winter when the temperatures are low enough.

The Zurich Zoo is always worth a visit, considering what has been built here over the past 20 years and how the zoo has been embellished.
