Zoo Leipzig

Beautiful Zoo.
It was a rainy day. Perfect because it wasn too crowded.

Parking: The best place to park is in the parking garage directly opposite the entrance. Good and not too expensive.

Food: Everywhere in the zoo there is the possibility to eat and drink something. I can recommend the restaurant at the giraffe enclosure with a view of giraffes and zebras.
The large cafe is really big and tastes very good.

I recommend to take some water with you because the prices for food and drink are sometimes high

The layout and theming of this zoo is excellent and at times it felt more like a theme park (especially in Gondwanaland). Food prices and availability is good, even on a busy day, and the enclosures are far more creative than places like Berlin. Admittedly we did struggle to see some of the animals at times, particularly the monkeys who were hidden in their huge enclosures. I’ll definitely go back, though next time not on a public holiday.

Amazing experience here. A must place to visit. So many animals to see and there are English translation for descriptions too. You can find food places throughout the zoo and souvenir shops as well. Students can also get a discount ticket by presenting their student card.

One of the best zoo's ever visited. Wonderful mix of animals and amazing playgrounds. Can get very busy, but always worth a visit. Parking can be tricky, but you can hire a kids trolley - and public transport is great. A yearly ticket supports the zoo and makes perfect sense if you want to make the most of what this zoo has to offer.

We have visited this Zoo on Sunday.
It was not very busy in the morning. But there have been many people after lunch.
I can recommend to buy tickets online in advance, because there is a separate line for online tickets, which is much quicker.

The zoo was beyond my expectations! It is definitely one of the best things to do in Leipzig after the self ride boating experience. The zoo has all kinds of animals from bears, lions, monkeys, chimps, aquarium, giraffe, Zebra, Rhino, tropical rainforest experience to most of the well known and a few almost extinct animals one would want to see.

The ticket was 22 euros per person which is definitely worth the money. Plan to spend at least 4-5 hours in the zoo. If you are an animal enthusiast then you might need minimum 5-6 hours

One of my most favourite places to visit. Gondwanaland is an amazing place to spend time in. Try not to miss the rare pangolins and elephant swimming. Animals look well cared for and progressive thinking in terms of enclosures and enrichment for the animals.
