Leipzig Zoo

Leipzig Zoo

Opened in 1878, Leipzig Zoo is one of the oldest zoos in the world. Covering an area of 225,000 square meters, it is home to over 2,000 animals of more than 850 species. It is renowned for its carnivore exhibits and is highly loved and popular among visitors.

Leipzig Zoo is also one of the most modern and well-known zoos in the world. It provides a fully natural habitat for the animals living there, allowing them to thrive in a comfortable environment. Visitors can have close encounters with adorable animals in a true-to-life natural setting. In 2000, a cross-century project was launched to transform Leipzig Zoo into a “zoo of the future.” The zoo is divided into several themed areas, such as Africa, Asia, South America, and Gondwana, where visitors can see endemic and representative animals from these regions.

To ensure the survival and reproduction of endangered species, Leipzig Zoo also runs breeding and rearing programs. Currently, more than 2,000 lions, 250 rare Siberian tigers, and other endangered animals are successfully bred here.
