Well worth the visit - Zurich Zoo is more of a conservation project than zoo. A 10-15 minute drive…read morefrom downtown, the Zoo is situated on a terraced slope so you have several small hills to navigate. The Zoo stretches over a fairly large park with smaller focused areas with animal specific regions. Signage is pretty good plus they give you a map. There is a very impressive atrium, Masoala Rainforest, with lush tropical vegetation, animals and a waterfall. There is also a canopy top observation point accessible via a circular staircase. They have zebras, giraffes, elephants (to name a few) in large indoor and outdoor spaces. There is an aquarium area, with penguins, plus petting areas with goats and kid friendly zones. There is also a little train that you can ride around to see some of the exhibits. Definitely worth the trip, allow 3-4 hours minimum if you want to see most of the exhibits.

Great place to spend a few hours on a nice day. I visited with my husband and three kids. We…read morepurchased the family pass for 73 CHF which admitted two adults and as many of your own kids, age 6-15, as you have. This worked out to be about 20 CHF cheaper than individual tickets. We purchased at the ticket booth but you can also save a little more by purchasing online. Prices are on par with any big city zoo I've ever been to. This zoo is large, clean and well thought out. There are childrens play areas spread throughout. The animal enclosures are, for the most part, large with spaces for the animals to get away from the crowds. There is plenty of shade throughout the zoo. We drove here and found paid street parking easily. There is public transportation nearby and also a place to park your bicycles.

A rather big animal park and very cheap too! Perfect for a day out with kids that you want to keep…read moreentertained and tire out so they'll sleep soundly and early on the weekend :) The animals tend to be in more open cages here then a regular zoo and with the exception of the two brown bear in a rather sad small enclosure non of the animals here are dangerous. Theres bike tracks so you can cycle you way around from animal to animal area but on the weekends this can be tricky with all the families , prams and children you have to dodge. The Playground is one of the better ones I've seen in Germany for kids and the Meerkats are alone worth visiting the Munenhof to see! Some of the animals I saw include -Camels -Pigs -Goats -Ox -Cows -Horses -Bison -Bunnies -Monkeys -Australian birds -Meerkats -Turtles The Aquarium is a bit lame-I also think it's odd that they allow people to bring their dogs in here as in my opinion it's upsetting for the animals The Monkey enclosure is a bit of a worry also as it had a electric fence only inches behind the main fence that more then a few little kids could help but touch and were given quite a nasty shock and left screaming in tears for trying to touch the cute little monkeys- clearly the kids aren't as clever as the monkys who know not to touch it :) Not a bad day out if you have kids- if you don't visit on a weekend and bring your bike for a less boring veiwing.

Perfect size zoo for the younger children and for parents too ;)…read moreLots to see and touch and feed. Easy to spend half the day there and then walk over to old town and enjoy the picturesque lakeside village of Rapperswil

A nice little children's zoo…read more The elephant ride is definitely the highlight. Children cannot go on the ride without adults. The ride is 2Fr per person regardless of age. I don't recommend children under 2 for his ride. The adult elephants are very high, could get a little scary for the smaller kids. The camel rides have a age limit of 3. The elephant feeding is fun too. The zoo provides chopped apples that you can hand to the elephant. They take them out of your hand with their trunk and eat it...so cool! The nicest part of the zoo is the giraffe stand. Where you can walk to the top and be face to face with the giraffes inches away and watch them feed out of a box. They are docile and friendly animals, real gentle giants. The zoo not big so walkable without a stroller. Kids under 4 are free.

Fun park owned and operated by Migros. Great for any kind of weather. There is a rather large…read moreindoor climbing structure with slides for rainy or cold days and a beautifully landscaped outdoor area for warmer weather days. There is a motorized train for kids that is a virtual steal at 1chf per ride. They also have a very mini coin operated carousel. The playground and sand areas are newly refurbished and very nice. I am not sure of the schedule, but they also host puppet shows for the kids in the late afternoons.
