Basel Zoo, an Immersion into the Heart of the Animal World

Located in the heart of Basel, the Basel Zoo, affectionately nicknamed ‘Zolli’ by locals, is the oldest zoo in Switzerland and one of the most respected in Europe. Founded in 1874, it is now home to over 600 animal species from around the world, living in spaces designed to respect their well-being and natural needs.

While strolling through the park, visitors can admire majestic elephants, big cats, playful primates, and exotic birds. The vivarium also allows visitors to discover fascinating marine creatures, while the tropical greenhouse transports visitors to a lush jungle populated with rare and colorful species.

A zoo committed to conservation and education

The Basel Zoo is not limited to showcasing animals: it plays a key role in preserving endangered species through breeding and reintroduction programs in natural habitats. It actively participates in conservation projects worldwide, particularly for gorillas, rhinoceroses, and giant tortoises.

Visitors can take part in animations and feedings with commentary, providing a better understanding of the animals’ way of life and the challenges involved in protecting them. Whether you’re with family, friends or a nature enthusiast, a visit to Basel Zoo is a captivating, educational and exotic experience, offering an unforgettable journey through the world’s wildlife.
