Tierpark Lange Erlen is a free admission wildlife Park/zoo. They have an impressive assortment of…read morewildlife, in pretty spacious enclosures. I'm assuming by the look of it, that the animals are treated fairly and responsibly. The park allows pets, so my wife and I brought our small dogs who acted pretty well near the other animals. They have monkeys, antelopes, wild boar, monkeys, horses and buffalo, among other animals. It was a good experience and nice free way to spend a couple hours in Basel, Switzerland. Admission is free, we had to pay for parking which was reasonable.

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.

This is a great free wild anima. There is a traditional Mongolian Yurt for kids to discover,…read morehorses, deer, wolves, moose, deer, and bears. There is also a playground and a separate play area for kids to run about. Most everything is written in german so not really all that educational for older English speaking kids. There is an average restaurant onsite. The park is split by a road but there is a pedestrian bridge that connects both sides. The only negatives are getting there. If you drive, prepare to pay 10chf to park. If you take the train prepare to walk quite a ways before seeing any animals. If you take the S4 it is an additional 25 min walk from the stop to the park.

This place is very perfect for the kids. The animals have a natural space to be in which feels…read moreunlike a regular zoo. There's food and two play areas for the kids. A great way to spend an afternoon!
