Over
Korte feiten: More than 380 species and several thousand individual animals live under one management, with active breeding and conservation programs that support reintroductions and field projects worldwide. Visitors linger in a misty, multi-level rainforest hall where humid air, blooming orchids and the chatter of frogs make the experience feel like stepping into a living documentary.
Hoogtepunten: Step into a steaming glass hall where orchids drip humidity, frogs answer each other in a booming chorus, and free-flying parrots and butterflies brush past like living jewels under a warm, humid canopy. In the afternoon the penguin colony often waddles right up to the viewing glass so you can hear their braying, feel a breath of icy air from the pool, and watch keepers toss fishy treats like tiny silver confetti.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes and layers, exhibits like the Masoala rainforest are humid and temperatures vary.
- Check feeding and keeper talk times at the entrance board or app to plan when animals are most active.
- Visit the elephant park and penguin enclosure earlier in the day to avoid the busiest afternoon period.
- Walk up to the hill viewpoint near the monkey house for framed city skyline photos with the zoo in the foreground.
