The over 90-year-old Zurich Zoo lies in an idyllic location on the Zürichberg, in the city’s Fluntern quarter. The zoo is located high above the rooftops of Zurich, surrounded by greenery, yet can still be reached quickly and easily from the city center.

Approximately 4,000 animals representing 380 different species live at Zurich Zoo. The oldest resident is Nigrita, a Galapagos giant turtle. She is over 70 years old and has been living at the zoo since 1946.

Zurich Zoo serves as an ambassador between people, animals, and nature. With its fascinating initiatives and conservation projects, it contributes towards safeguarding biological diversity and shares knowledge with people of all ages.
