Review:

Zoo Zurich, which is locally known as Zürich Zoologischer Garten or the Zürich Zoological Garden, has been housing a collection of animals since 1929. For nearly twenty years, the zoo was directed by biologist Heini Hediger, also called the "father of zoo biology", and grew substantially during that time. There are over 2,200 animals that call the zoo home from over 300 species.

Visitors can explore the many installations, such as the Kaeng Krachan Elephant Park, Masoala Rainforest, and the Mongolian Steppe. Some of the more popular events are the daily penguin parade and the animal feeding experience.
