The Wilhelma Zoo and Botanical Gardens is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the area, having over two million visitors each year. The botanical gardens opened first in 1919 and the first animal exhibit was added in 1951 - both are housed on the grounds of a historic castle. Today, there are over 6,000 species of plants brought in from all over the world, and over 11,500 animals who consider the zoo to be their home. Visitors, especially the younger ones, love meeting the elephants, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, gazelles, peacocks, antelopes, and all the other animals there.
