I could probably write a few pages about this place but will try and keep it down for qype…read more After seeing my old favourites, the Meerkats, near the entrance, I was sure they would be my highlight as usual. The zoo went about proving me wrong. This zoo does a couple of walk through enclosures. The kangaroos...well, they just squat there as far away from you as they can get. But the monkeys. They see you but mostly they just get on with their business of running around and fighting even right next to you. I guess the older monkeys are used to people, but the younger ones are still curious and will climb up next to you (but will flinch/fall over/run away if you move so much as a muscle) I couldn't believe how close they came, it was unbelievable and I could not get a photo because they were so nervous. What else was great? Well I was enjoying looking at the Rosenkopchen until I saw all the wasps sharing their fruit. I also enjoyed the unexpected fish tank in the giraffe house (random). There was a baby goat feeding area too like at Berlin Zoo. The animals don't half hassle you though..means you can't feed the cute little one. All this for 7E entry? OK it is a bit of a trek to get out here...but well worth it. With my 5 star review I am in no way endorsing this (http://www.toytowngermany.com/lofi/index.php/t72111.html)

The Leipzig Zoo is a must see....This Place is amazing, the habitat for the Animals is lesser cage…read morelike, is more like they're natural habitat and you feel like crossing countries within the Zoo. For an example Gondwana Land, where you can enjoy a Bootride trough Monkey Land or enjoy the food in that beautiful Restaurant which is a self help service, but all the foods are fresh and prepared in front of you.

I had several hours to kill on my last day in Leipzig and thought the Zoo might be a good option…read more I'm glad I visited the Leipzig zoo. For the visitor, it is almost a must-see option in Leipzig. First of all, the location is excellent, within easy walking distance of the main train station and the central city. The price was very good -- I paid 18.50 Euros for my day pass. The zoo itself is very well laid out with a guided path that takes you through the entire park. The interior Gondwanaland section is outstanding. This is an enclosed section of the zoo with temperature and humidity maintained as in the tropics to support animals from that habitat. Any type of animal you would like to see could be found here, though I don't remember seeing any snake exhibits. The grounds are maintained beautifully and there are plenty of food and drink places scattered about as well as play areas for children. Overall, this is a very well maintained, large and beautiful zoo, well worth the visit. I spent a good 3 hours to walk through all the different exhibits.
