The Zoo of the Future
Leipzig Zoo was founded in 1878 and is one of the oldest in Germany. Today, its very special concept makes it one of the most modern and renowned worldwide. The Leipzig Zoo unites:
- proper husbandry,
- wildlife conservation,
- education and
- interesting discovery tours.
Convincing examples of this are the one-of-a-kind ape habitat Pongoland and the Gondwanaland - a fascinating tropical adventure world the size of two football fields. You can experience the tropical rainforest with all your senses, right in the middle of Leipzig. The Zoo of the future is a highlight for every visitor!
