Founded in 1878, the Leipzig Zoo is one of the oldest and most species-rich zoos in the world. Nearly 900 species and subspecies call this one of Leipzig’s biggest attractions home. Behind the zoo lies a unique concept: ethical animal care, species protection, education, and exciting discovery tours are all combined here. This approach is designed to pave the way for the “Zoo of the Future.” The 26-hectare area includes the world-renowned “Pongoland” great ape exhibit and Europe’s largest collection of sun bears. And with the famous “Gondwanaland,” a fascinating tropical rainforest experience spanning two football fields, a tropical rainforest is hidden right in the heart of Leipzig. Since 2000, the zoo has been implementing the ambitious “Zoo of the Future” project, increasing its appeal to both locals and visitors alike: animals thrive in their naturalistic habitats, and visitors experience a sensory natural adventure on their zoo stroll. At the Leipzig Zoo, you can embark on an unforgettable journey around the world – right in the heart of Germany.
