This is an amazing place. I have never seen a rhino :D The Zoo itself looks like a jungle. High grass. Trees and bushes everywhere. I suppose it makes animals feel better - like they're in their natural environment. Once you buy a ticket you get a map of the zoo. It is almost accurate. Paths are ok but not all animals are marked there. However it's not a big inconvenience. We treated it as a surprise. Great place for a family trip, even with a stroller. It took us about 2 hours to see everything.

Fantastic zoo in Basel close to the city centre. Very family friendly and children are allowed to touch some animals. There is feeding of sea lions at 4pm with seats around the pool to watch it. The zoo is beautifully laid out with lots of different areas for each type of animal. Has an amazing restaurant and cafe at very reasonable prices. You can also bring your own food and have a small picnic in some areas but PLEASE make sure you do not feed any animals. You should allow at least 4 hours so you can enjoy the zoo at a relaxed pace - with young kids you might even spend the whole day there. Definitely worth a visit.

On an exceptionally hot morning, this beautiful zoo was delightfully cool, with ample shade from the many trees etc. There are so many animals etc. to see, in a comparatively small space - they looked well cared for in attractive surroundings. Lots of places to sit, too. My only minor criticism is that many of the buildings are brutalist in style and lack charm. Easy to reach by bus or tram.

Sehr gut gepflegte Zooanlage mitten in der Stadt Basel. Die Vielfalt der verschiedenen Tierarten und deren Gehege, Vivarien usw. sind beeindruckend. Essen und trinken ist preiswert und gut. Dass fotografieren erlaubt ist, finde ich besonders toll. Das sehr nette und freundliche Personal sorgt für ein perfektes Erlebnis in dieser ganz besonders angenehmen Zooanlage.

It's a great zoo with many different animals. There is also a nice Café and restaurant, a bit pricey though. Pathways are really nicely maintained, perhaps could do with a bit more indications/signs of where what is. Most of the animals seem happy, although some can do with bigger enclosures such as the lions. A favorite was the Namibian Etosha themed area featuring parts of the ecosystem, well thought out. There is also a nice playpark for children. Side note, there were quite a lot of parts closed due to construction or maintenance. This meant some animals were not around at the time

A rainy day in November? You want to experience a very different atmosphere and mood? Visit the Zolli Basel - the zoo !! There are many remarkable aspects, besides the park like setting, the continuous care, the zoo striving to make most out of the given options in the available area. Many animals are well known a beloved by kids and adults. Check it out yourself, are have a peek on the pictures and videos. 🙈

(Translated by Google) Small enclosures, I'm really sorry for animals. (Original) Kleine Gehege, Tiere tun mir echt leid.

You need at least 2,5 hours to enjoy and walk all the way through without rush. Amazing layout, easy to follow paths and wonderful displays

Very good zoo, and with the Basel Card discount it's half the price, which I think is incredible!!! 11FR to visit is really good! You can see several animals, but I don't know if I was late or it was cold but many of the animals weren't in the enclosures, so I ended up only seeing the ones that were inside the buildings. Still, it was very worth it. I recommend visiting, five stars!

A very good zoo that kids will thoroughly enjoy. There are plenty of animals; however, we missed seeing elephants and snakes due to the snow and cool weather. Tickets can be purchased at the entrance. Recommend visiting!

As it was the middle of winter when I visited quite a lot of the bigger animals were hiding in their sleeping quarters, but the birds were very active, preparing their nests for the breeding season. I loved that so many of the birds were free to fly around in their enclosures or even in the open air. The multi-layered exhibits with birds, mammals and even fish in the same enclosures were really interesting.

A must visit it Basel. If you’re staying at a hotel, the Baselcard gives you 50% discount. I spent about 2 hours in the zoo, but someone could easily spend more. The animals are clean and well kept, with employees often checking in on their welfare. This is also the first time I had the chance to watch a rhino up close. Great for a family trip.

Very nice zoo with lots of opportunities to make pictures. There are lots of different animals, even though the zoo is a little small. Especially enjoyed the butterfly and bird spaces.

(Translated by Google) Today we will think of the poor animals who all died on New Year's Eve 😪 And of the people who have not even apologized for them. That is very sad 😢 (Original) Wir werden heute an die armen Tiere denken, die an Silvester alle ums Leben gekommen sind 😪 Und an die Personen, die sich noch nicht einmal dafür entschuldigt haben. Das ist sehr traurig 😢

Great zoo - not too big not too small. We love going there with my kids 2 and 4 yo. We also went there without kids and we will continue going as its a great place to do various activities, starting obviously with observing and learning about animals, having lunch and an ice cream or playing on the playground! It’s possible to meet up with other parents and enjoy time all together! (last Sunday when we visited the zoo in the reptile section it was quite crowded and people didn’t follow the distancing rules. This is just a side comment as of course you can choose to leave what we in fact did). We are regular visitors and will continue coming!

Great experience and a fantastic location. Lots of animals to see that seem really happy. Not to busy and the flow is well. It’s worth the trip and experience. Not expensive if you get the family pass. Thank you.

Absolutely love this place. The number and selection of animals is quite good but the zoo has many interconnected walking paths you can take at your own desire. The design and layout allows you to get pretty close to many animals. There are lots of benches all over so you can stop and rest at any point. Be sure to catch the walking of the Penguins during the colder months. Highly recommend!

A lovely zoo, located in a grove with lots of shade. There are play areas for children. There are seating areas in all the paths, also suitable for couples or singles without children.

Schöner Zoo mit unterschiedlichen Tierarten. Gibt genügend Bänke um sich die Tiere in Ruhe anschauen zu können. Der Eintrittspreis für einen Erwachsenen ist völlig in Ordnung

Ein sehr schön angelegter und gepfleger Zoo, mit viel Grün und ausreichend Sitzgelegenheiten. Hier kann man viele verschiedene Tierarten bestauen. Ausführliche Informationen standen immer jeweils zu den Tieren dabei. Mein Highlight war das Affenhaus 🐵 und die öffentlichen Fütterungen. Der Eintrittspreis ist angemessen. Der Besuch ist auf jeden Fall lohnenswert! 😊

Ein wunderschöner Zoo inmitten von Basel mit allen möglichen Tierarten, einer wunderschönen Anlage und sogar Führungen. Einen Souveniershop gibt es auch. Gut zu erreichen mit dem Auto (Parkplätze mit Parkuhr vorhanden) oder auch mit dem Tram. Haltestelle direkt vor dem Eingang. Muss man auf jeden Fall mindestens einmal im leben besucht haben.

Very large zoo with a great diversity of species to see. The highlight for me was the primates section and the penguin walk which is scheduled at specific times of the day. The food in the zoo cantina is also quite nice with good hotdogs. Note: With the Basel card the price is cut in half.

(Translated by Google) I saw my cousin in the pig enclosure. He looked weird. But yes, it just happens. (Original) Ich hab mein cousin im schweine Gehege gesehen. Er sah komisch aus. Aber ja, passiert halt.

(Translated by Google) The zoo of my childhood, which I visit with my children (Original) Le zoo de mon enfance, que je visite avec mes enfants

(Translated by Google) Despite the discount, not a bargain. Still, it's worth the money. Not too extensive (as well as Basel has no space), easy to visit with small children in an afternoon. Nice aquarium, otherwise good presentation of the animals, which, as far as a layperson can judge, make a good impression according to the circumstances. Also currently open in contrast to Germany, albeit with understandable restrictions such as mask requirement from 12, one-way in animal houses, etc. Overall recommended (Original) Trotz Rabatt kein Schnäppchen. Trotzdem ist es das Geld wert. Nicht allzu weitläufig ( wie auch, Basel hat keinen Platz), mit kleinen Kindern gut an einem Nachmittag zu besichtigen. Schönes Aquarium, auch sonst gute Präsentation der Tiere, die, soweit man das als Laie beurteilen kann, einen den Umständen entsprechenden guten Eindruck machen. Auch aktuell im Gegensatz zu Deutschland geöffnet, wenn auch mit nachvollziehbaren Einschränkungen wie Maskenpflicht ab 12, Einbahnweg in Tierhäusern usw. Gesamthaft empfehlenswert

I was very impressed by how the Basel zoo looks like. This is how a zoo should look like. Great condition for the animal. I saw many of the zoos in my country Romania and none can rise to the level of this one in Basel. Congratulations to all who have been involved in organizing the zoo in Basel. Ypu did a great job.

(Translated by Google) Nice place for everyone except Peta relatives lmao ^^ (Original) Schöner Ort für Jedermann ausser Peta angehörige lmao ^^

(Translated by Google) If you have small children, you should definitely visit the Basel Zolli. Actually, there is no reason not to visit the Basel zoo ... (Original) Wer kleine Kinder hat, sollte unbedingt den Basler Zolli besuchen. Eigentlich gibt es keinen Grund, den Basler Tierpark nicht zu besuchen...

Not only children but also adults were delighted with this amazing zoo. Despite its small size, it is very cozy and you want to come back here again and again. 🐆🦓🦍🦧🐘🦛🦏🐊🐫🐐🦌🐃🦙🐏🐿️🦜🦝

Really like this zoo. Easy to follow a route so you can see all the animals. They have a nice collection. Food and drinks is not cheap though.

Really nice zoo, I really recommend you to go!!

This is quite the Zoo. It has a butterfly area, tropical rainforest area where the small monkeys are free to roam. Two playgrounds, one fairly large and has a 0.50€ per-swing for smaller kids. I recommend using the bathroom in the cafe. It's nice and doesn't stink. 😅 Visiting in the winter months gives the rainforest a really nice touch. Bring chilled snacks in the summer to cool off.

(Translated by Google) Totally outdated like any zoo! No place to show children how to keep animals appropriately! Sad and scary at the same time! (Original) Total überholt so wie jeder Zoo! Kein Ort um Kindern die artgerechte Haltung von Tieren zu zeigen! Traurig und gruselig zugleich!

(Translated by Google) The zoo is puny, i.e. the animals live in very small enclosures and have hardly any space to move. When we were waiting there in summer, there was hardly any shady spots for animals such as elephants ... Unfortunately, absolutely not recommended (Original) Der Zoo ist mickrig, d.h. die Tiere leben ins sehr kleinen Gehegen und haben kaum Platz sich zu bewegen. Als wir im Sommer dort warten, sah man kaum schattige Stellen für Tiere wie zB die Elefanten... Leider absolut nicht zu empfehlen

(Translated by Google) Super nice ! Although I have seen many larger ones in other locations in North Westphalia, this is also worth a visit. The location is absolutely beautiful, especially in summer and autumn. Don't avoid it! WORTH IT! 🤩 (Original) Super frumos ! Deși am văzut altele mult mai mari în alte locații din Westfalia de nord, și aceasta merită vizitată. Locația este absolut superbă, în mod special vara și toamna. Nu o ocoliți ! MERITĂ ! 🤩

Really great zoo in Basel, staffs keep this place very clean and take good care of all animals. Pretty comfortable place for all animals. Nice place to spend more time relaxing. I loved to visit often.

Nice zoo to visit when you have time left in Basel. It can be done within 3 hours or so. The snowpanther (which is a rare almost extinct panther) is however definitely worth watching!

Amazing zoo with all type of animals . Aquarium, insects , reptiles,birds and mammals. Well maintained. There is separate section for apes too . Inside zoo , you can have good food in restaurant too. Its best place for kids , spend time .

It is a pretty zoo with many lovely animals, the best attraction is the pinguin walking next to you :) perfect for children and everything can be seen in less than 3,4hours. But I would not say that it is bigger than in Zurich :)

If you love zoos, this one in Basel will not disappoint you. Vast, clean and very well maintained. The animals are placed in an environment as close as possible to their natural habitats. A place that makes children happy!

This medium-sized, family-oriented zoo is centrally located in Basel. Animals are not geographically arranged but clustered by groups, for example in the "monkey house", you'll find African and South American monkeys side by side. As all the enclosures are quite small, visitors can see the animals up close. Extensive aquarium and terrarium section. Average visiting time is around 3-4h. Good self-service restaurant on site.

Very spacious, clean restrooms. Nice foods and drinks.

Being in Basel for one month gives you the opportunity to explore the city and neighborhood. Zoo Basel is in downtown, easy access, by team or just walking. It's a big park with a wide variety of animals and structures built for some groups of them: elephants, kangaroos, chimpanzees and a fantastic aquarium. There's a restaurant and some other options and a store. It deserves a visit if you're in the city.

Pretty good zoo in the middle of the city of Basel. Small parking lot, better comes early so you can also enjoy the animals being fed. The whole tour plus lunch at the zoo’s restaurant took us 3h30. Lot of kids obviously. A good family day out!

Great zoo and easy to get to via the tram. We especially liked watching the elephants and the hippos. Lots of shade from trees throughout the park.

We have not been to the Zolli for many years but had fond memories. But comparing how other Zoos like Zurich modernized and expanded over the years, it feels that Basel Zoo is a bit dated. It's small in comparison and the different kind of Animals are limited.

Ein kleiner aber sehr schöner Zoo. Sehr sauber und schöne Gehege für die Tiere💜 kann ich nur empfehlen 😊 Restaurant konnte ich nicht testen die Warteschlange stand bis raus :)

Schöner Zoo, nicht zu gross, lässt sich alles in ruhe an einem Tag anschauen, viele Tierarten und Intressante fakten dazu. Die Gehwege sind vielfach unter Bäumen, es ist sehr angehm um durch den Zoo zu laufen. Tickets haben wir Online bestellt, somit entstand trotz einer schlange an der Kasse keine Wartezeit für uns.

The best thing we could see this goat as most of the animals were hidden….. I am sorry about the small kids came here today and have to leave without meeting the animals…. Does not worth the time and fee you would spend

Basel Zoo is a great day out! There is so much to see and the grounds are absolutely beautiful! It’s only a 10 min walk from Basel SBB main station so it’s really easy to get to! The enclosures seemed to be ample size and the variety of animals is great!! (I was amazed by the African Wild Dogs as I’d never seen them before) Highly recommend if you have a day to kill in Basel!

Great place for families with kids and tourists. Quite a wide variety of animals. Recommended for penguin walk.

Very nice zoo in town. One of the nicest what i visited. Lots of variety of animals. Loved the seelions! There was a small show with them with a place to sit down. The ape pavilion was also very nice. Can only recommend. Would visit again.

The Zoo takes care of the animals. Very clean place, animals look healthy. It's pretty interesting and takes about 3 hours to complete the whole Zoo.

Nice place to visit. It is not too big. It would be great if they include some interesting facts about the animals. For us, it makes so much more interesting.

Great day out. Zoo is well sized and easy to explore, plenty of shade, good cafe on site for lunch and overall lots of interaction with animals. Our little one had a blast. As a suggestion, please add some information on English alongside German.

Zoo basel is the best one in Switzerland, plenty of animals and well organised park. Lot of fun for kids . Nice and clean everywhere. Very good food corners and reasonable price...

I visited many zoos around Europe and I can say this is the best of all. The butterfly garden and the zones that you can touch animals were the best.

The best zoo in Switzerland. Love the grounds and worth the visit. The staff could be a little friendlier.

Fun zoo! Couldn’t believe how cheap the tickets were to get in. Great selection of animals to look at. The enclosures were large and animal friendly. It was a nice way to spend a day!

Was ok. Quite a few renovatuona taking place so would be curious to see the final outcome.

The zoo was not that big but the animals have good exhibits and well taken care of. Zoo was clean, and I was very impressed with the puzzle treat box they are providing for the primates to solve!

Very unique small zoo. Great design. It doesn’t look like a typical zoo, more like a park. You can see all birds flying through the zoo and big bird nest on the top of trees Pretty nice. Don’t expect many animals there, but it gives kids great time. They love all cute animals there. Especially penguins.

For a rainy day in december, it was an amazing experience! Congrats to the Basel Zoo team for keeping this place as beautiful as we found it!

Nice day out, the animals seemed well cared for and they seemed to be extending the zoo and adding better, modern enclosures.

Schöne, und Artgerechte Parkanlage...

(Translated by Google) Well ... I was there today with eight children with disabilities plus accompanying persons. The zoo itself is very nicely done, especially outside. I just think it's a shame that lots of places are inaccessible due to numerous construction sites. Many pods are much too small. Zurich Zoo is way ahead in this regard, also when it comes to animal welfare. You could also put more effort into the design of certain aquariums or hanger, as some of them seem rather sparse. On top of that, I found the restaurant staff to be rather unfriendly and disorganized. Certain requests that would have been easy to implement were not taken into account and many visitors stood next to occupied tables and waited until they were free. The entrance at the entrance of the restaurant was not controlled, which would be an important measure, especially in times of Corona. (Original) Naja... Ich war heute mit acht Kindern mit Beeinträchtigung plus Begleitpersonen da. Der Zoo selbst ist vor allem Draussen recht schön gemacht. Finde es einfach schade, dass durch vielzählige Baustellen jede Menge Orte nicht zugänglich sind. Viele Gehäge sind viel zu klein. Da ist der Zoo Zürich weit voraus, auch was die artgerechte Haltung betrifft. Auch könnte man sich bei der Gestaltung gewisser Auquarien oder Gehäge mehr Mühe geben, da diese z.T. eher karg wirken. Zu allem dazu empfand ich das Personal des Restaurants eher unfreudlich und unorganisiert. Gewisse Wünsche, die einfach umzusetzen gewesen wären, wurde nich darauf eingegangen und auch standen viele Besucher neben besetzte Tische und warteten bis diese frei wurden. Der Einlass beim Eingang des Restaurants wurde also nicht kontrolliert, was besonders in Zeiten von Corona doch eine wichtige Massnahme wäre.

Nice for a half day with the kids. The penguin walk on winter mornings is great

Elephants are always amazing, but the panzer-rhinos really did it for me. Support the zoos!

I have a good experience here. A real beautiful place for a family vizit. It is not big, but enough for 5-6 hours to vizit. The restaurant from inside (the middle one) have usually prices, and the food it is acceptable, not the best, but not the baddest. The WC, in the restaurant, clean. Souvenirs are expensive, but it's a Zoo, after all, they need money.

Perfect place for the full day with kids. Big plus- they sell mulled wine in two places in the park!

The place is nice and clean and the kids enjoyed the visit but the Zoo in Zürich is much better. Plan something to eat and drink if you don't want to spend a lot for something just ok. For the parking you have to ask the ticket where you buy the Zoo ticket.

Nice open zoo, not many people, can go through all in four hours. Often branches around blocking view. Overall very nice experience.

Great place to visit, many different animals, very interesting

(Translated by Google) Best zoo in Switzerland. So many animals, but not as impractically large as in Zurich. (Original) Bester Zoo der Schweiz. So viele Tiere, aber doch nicht so unpraktisch gross wie in Zürich.

such a beautiful place

(Translated by Google) Fortunately, we live around the corner and got an annual subscription because a) the zoo convinced us so and b) with the subscription you can do your laps immediately there (we can do your laps with the baby in the car or in the carrier). Without queuing and sometimes just for a short walk. We especially like the monkey house and the large aquarium because you can watch forever. But the elephants, lions and giraffes are also exciting and you don't see them every day. The restaurant especially attracts families because it is fast, cheap and practical. But you can also “rest” on a bench in the spacious zoo. So far, the employees have all been very friendly and we have never felt unsafe. (Original) Wir wohnen glücklicherweise um die Ecke und haben uns ein Jahresabo geholt, weil uns a) der Zoo so überzeugt hat und b) man mit dem Abo jederzeit sofort dort (wir mit dem Baby im Wagen oder in der Trage) seine Runden drehen kann. Ohne Anstehen und auch mal nur für einen kurzen Spaziergang. Uns gefallen vor allem das Affenhaus und das grosse Aquarium, weil man ewig zuschauen kann. Aber auch die Elefanten, Löwen und Giraffen sind spannend und sieht man nicht alle Tage. Das Restaurant zieht vor allem Familien an, da schnell, günstig und praktisch. Ebenso kann man aber in dem weitläufigen Zoo auch mal auf einer Bank „rasten“. Die Mitarbeiter waren bisher alle sehr freundlich und wir haben uns noch zu keiner Zeit unsicher gefühlt.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful zoo! Thank you very much for having a wonderful day with my family there. Very versatile and run with love. The restaurant was very good too! Price / performance absolutely given. There are parking spaces in front of it. (Original) Wunderschöner Zoo! Vielen Dank, dass ich dort einen wunderschönen Tag mit meiner Familie verbringen durfte.

(Translated by Google) Very nice zoo where it is possible to see the animals very closely. The species of animals present are very varied: they range from chickens to elephants and kangaroos. Entrance ticket prices are not too expensive. In addition, it is possible to buy a ticket for the parking lot at the same time as the entrance tickets. (Original) Très joli zoo où il est possible de voir les animaux de très près. Les espèces d’animaux présents sont très variées: cela va des poules aux éléphants en passant par les kangourous. Les tarifs des tickets d’entrée ne sont pas trop chers. De plus il est possible d’acheter un ticket pour le parking en même temps que les tickets d’entrée.

(Translated by Google) We were here in December. So with a limited number of animals, but also with a discount on the entrance fee. I loved the aquarium and the monkey house, not every zoo has that. It was not so good that there are hardly any signposts to be found ... In my opinion, everything was no longer so up to date. (Original) Wir waren im Dezember hier. Also mit eingeschränktem Tierbestand,dafür auch mit Rabatt auf den Eintrittspreis. Toll fand ich das Aquarium und das Affenhaus, hat so nicht jeder Zoo.

It's an average size zoo. Unfortunately when I visited the zoo it was raining so I couldn't spot all the animals. As there is this covid situation going on, there are no feeding shows. But I could see the Gorilla and lions from the glass this was the best experience. I had never seen a lion from this close. The sea lions were quite entertaining though. The aquarium is also good, I was expecting a octopus as well but it wasn't there. The washrooms were clean, restaurant were good. And there's also drinking water fountains.

We very much enjoyed our visit. With elephants, rhinos, hippos, lions and giraffes, the zoo had pretty much all you want to see, with perhaps the exception of Tigers. The enclosures are brilliant (large indoor and outdoor viewing areas), and it was not too crowded.

A great zoo, easy to access by tram. I just wish they had English descriptions too! (only the name of the animal is in English, nothing else)

A brilliant zoo with an up-close view of a wide array of species ranging from elephants to snow leopard to giraffes to penguins. Totally worth to visit for all the lovers of wildlife and a great place for kids as well.

wheres the exit?

A very rich and well maintained Zoo..

Uplifting experience for 1458 visitors at the Zoo. Well done to everyone involved with the upkeep particularly during the Pandemic.

Für mich einer der schönsten Zoo‘s überhaupt. Hat allerdings auch etwas mit Heimat zu tun - der Zolli verbindet und gehört zu jedem Bebbi. Viel Glück in dieser schwierigen Zeit und weiterhin toi toi toi für gutes Gelingen. Wir kommen immer wieder gerne!

(Translated by Google) There has not been a large-scale zoo for decades. I am looking forward to coming to the oldest zoo in Switzerland. In fact, the zoo is really good, maybe because wearing a mask 😷 didn't feel the unpleasant smell in the zoo before. There are more types and quality of animals in the garden than expected, and most of them are very energetic. (Original) 几十年没有到成规模的动物园了。来到瑞士最古老的动物园感觉很期待。事实上，动物园确实不错，也许因为带着口罩😷没有感觉以前在动物园里难闻的气味。园里的动物种类和质量比想象中要多，大多也很有活力。

(Translated by Google) Wonderful zoo where there is something for everyone from small to large. I used to go a lot and also gladly. But haven't been there for a long time because I just have to think about the animals that live there in captivity but nothing to complain about the attitude because I think you know that it is very good there !!! and with / for children it is always a hy light anyway. Our Basel zoo is great !!!! (Original) Wunderschöner Tierpark wo von klein bis gross für jeden etwas dabei ist.bin früher viel und auch gerne gegangen.war jetzt aber schon länger nicht mehr dort weil ich auf eine art und weise einfach an die Tiere denken muss die dort in Gefangenschaft leben.man kann aber nichts über die Haltung beanstanden denn ich denke,weiß das sie es sehr gut haben dort!!!und mit/für Kindern ist es sowieso immer wieder ein hy light. Unser Basler Zoo ist toll!!!!

A great zoo to visit and relax with family and friends!

one of the best zoo in nrw. the price is cheaper than most zoo (11€ Adult, 8€ Ermäßigt.) but it is so beautiful. totally recommend you to take the Rundgang path. please ask for the free keychain with your photo on it from the lady with camera at the front gate! totally worth it

Nice. Especially if you go with good company. Your kids will love it too.

Small and beautiful. Prices very reasonable. A lot of animals are not present of course, but it makes the zoo intimate and clear.

Such a beautiful zoo. Not as large as its neighbours in Duisburg or Cologne but presenting so many fascinating species. A true gem. Ideal for families with children.

Ein kleines feines Juwel. Jetzt muss man die Tickets online kaufen!!! Zum kotzen 🤮 Ich habe keinen Computer und keinen Drucker. Wenn dieser Zoo auf Besucher verzichten kann, dann braucht man sich nicht zu beklagen das man keine Einnahmen hat.

(Translated by Google) Even as a child I was an enthusiastic zoo visitor here. A small, but very familiar-looking zoo. Hopefully it can be reopened soon. (Original) Schon als Kind war ich hier begeisteter Zoobesucher. Ein kleiner, aber recht familiär wirkender Tierpark. Hoffentlich kann er bald wieder geöffnet werden.

Einer der schönsten Zoos für Kinder. Der Zoo ist auch mit Kindern gut zu laufen. Man kann sich Zeit lassen und muss nicht noch einmal hin, weil man nicht alles gesehen hat. Für mich ist es Erholung pur in der Früh durch den Zoo zu Laufen. Das gesamte Personal ist freundlich und immer ansprechbar.

(Translated by Google) Big compliments to everyone !! We felt really safe. There were a lot of innovations and I think the animals were happy to see a few more people again. We would love to come back! (Original) Großes Lob an Alle !! Wir haben uns echt sicher gefühlt. Es gab viele Erneuerungen und ich glaube die Tiere haben sich auch gefreut mal wieder ein paar mehr Menschen sehen zu können. Wir kommen gern wieder!!!

It was a pleasure. (Original) Toller Zoo, speziell für kleine Kinder. Aktuell trotz Pandemie tolles Erlebnis für Kinder, nicht sehr voll und nah an den Tieren, speziell an den Pinguinen.

(Translated by Google) Reopening after the 2nd closure due to the corona-related lockdown: Buying tickets online went smoothly. The zoo is lovingly designed and has been renovated in some places. The gorilla enclosure in particular has turned out beautifully. The meerkats and the pelican lodge are also very modern and individually designed. Several playgrounds round off the matter. Clear recommendation (Original) Wiedereröffnung nach der 2. Schließung wg des Corona bedingten Lockdowns: Tickets online erwerben lief reibungslos ab. Der Zoo ist liebevoll gestaltet und wurde an einigen Stellen renoviert. Besonders das Gorilla Gehege ist wunderschön geworden.

(Translated by Google) Very nicely laid out and well-kept park. Not too spacious and perfect for a day trip. Unfortunately, the greatest strength is also the most serious weakness. Due to the limited size, the park quickly reaches its limits in terms of visitor numbers. It is already very busy at peak times. Nevertheless, very nice and priced completely okay. Free parking spaces are available nearby. (Original) Sehr schön angelegter und gut gepflegter Park. Nicht zu weitläufig und perfekt für einen Tagesausflug. Die größte Stärke ist leider gleichzeitig die schwerwiegendste Schwäche. Durch die begrenzte Größe kommt der Park schnell an seine Grenzen was die Besucherzahlen angeht.

Very clean and well maintained zoo. The animals are in a good shape. It is not very big, in 3, maximum 4 hours you can visit it.

Very good zoo in the city center. Variant animals, that connot be found in other zoos. 1 day is good enough. One drawback i felt is that less space for animals to roam around

Great plan for adults and kids. Well organized. On the other side I don't like to see animals locked.. But that's another issue and we need to also understand the good labor than zoos does for the study ans understanding of the animals

Nice zoo in the city center, great activity for half a day out with kids

My kids love that place! Oase surrounded by city, lot of animals, great food in restaurants and really nice stuff

Unlike in Asia or America, you don't find enclosed parks in Switzerland. Zoo can function that way, if you can become a member just for taking those routine walks, then it's worth walking amidst the greenery. The path is relatively flat for most parts of the zoo.

Lovely to walk around, not too big that you have to come back a 2nd day to see the stuff you missed, lots of animals and they look well looked after! Great day out!

Beautiful place to visit with children

Like every human I have my moral doubts about the idea of putting animals into cages, in countries they aren't used to be. However this isn't the place to discuss this matter. I hadn't been to a zoo in quite some time, so I found myself filled with quite some joy, when I entered the "Basel Zoo". I started with the "aquarium" section, filled with beautiful fish and transforming into terrariums filled with snakes and alikes. I can only recommend to start the walk through the Zoo like this. Also bring some time if you want to see the whole Zoo! It is quite big, and I might have gotten lost once or twice (little thing they could to better, the signs. It was a little hard to know directions in there)

Animals are treated well. Altough cages have been renovated, they are still too small for the big animals.

This is a great little zoo. Aquarium is always a top visit for the little ones. During winter the penguin walks are super interesting. Large animal exhbits are fantastic (lions, elephants, rhinos) but their great apes house is amazing. Onsite playground is great for young kids.

Accommodating personnel, great zoo presentation in a good price. Can also dine inside the zoo. The aquarium is amazing! Also the monkey collections. The rhino were also nice, elephant show, worth to spent 3-4 hours !

Great zoo for visiting with kids. Penguins are cute and charming. Very good infrastructure

Nice and cozy ZOO. Amazing swimming pool for penguins allows to see them swimming in the water. A lot of trees protect from sunshine even at the very hot days visitors, as well as the animals.

The zoo has many different species, we also saw the African wild dogs, which aren't that common in zoos. At the moment there's a big renewal concerning the birds, the new enclosures will open soon. If you're in Basel, I think it's a nice way of spending a couple of hours. Some enclosures show the signs of time, but it looks like changes are underway.

Gorgeous zoo with lots of shade and places to rest. You can see the animals inside and outside so there's almost always an opportunity to see everything.

Bellissimo parco, molto divertente per adulti e bambini!

(Translated by Google) CHF 3.00 for tap water is a no go, especially with other consumption, if it was free there would be a tip of CHF 3.00 plus 5 stars. Luckily we didn't have our dog with us, he wouldn't have gotten free water either. (Original) CHF 3.00 für Hahnenwasser ist ein no go, vorallem mit anderem Konsum, bei gratis gäbe es CHF 3.00 Trinkgeld plus 5 Sterne.

Looks beautiful, the animals seem well taken care of. plenty of sitting areas when tired from walking. Good eating places.

War per SBB in Basel besuch bei meiner Mutter in der covid Zeit habe ein Shirt gekauft mit Wolf Kopf

One of the best zoo we have been to. Everything was clean and animal were well kept.

Einmal im Herbst kommen wir zu Besuch,das seit Jahren.Rolle Vielfalt ,Preise ok,Gastronomie gut. Toll zu erreichen. Wir kommen gerne hin.

Sehr schön der basler zoo

Sehr schöner Zoo.

A really nice place to visit. A perfect place where to spend an afternoon. All the animals are taken care of and you can see plenty of species. Inside you’ll also find cafes or toilets. Make sure you have at least 2h in order to be able to visit the whole beautiful zoo and it’s cool inhabitants.

Good zoo. At the moment lots of construction going on.

Sehr angenehm.

Ein Super ort für Familien Ausflüge

We Love a good zoo, especially ones with penguins but the indoor enclosure looked tiny for how many birds were in there.. The rest of the zoo had lots of animals to see and things to do and of course plenty of overpriced places to grab a drink (no, not just because Switzerland) Bus stop right outside the zoo for direct access to the city center. Worth a visit.

The visiting experience is very good, especially the aquarium. There are many kinds of animals, and the layout of the venue is reasonable. The restaurant in the park is very large, suitable for taking a break.

This was a nice day out with our toddler, we spent about 5 hours there. The enclosure seemed a bit small for some of the larger animals but it looks like they are upgrading a lot of them.

We were here in April 2023. I do not like zoos - that’s why 4 stars. But in any case, it is interesting place.

Zoo Basel ist sehr schön! Sehr übersichtlich von der Anzahl der Gehege und man kann viele verschiedene Tierarten entdecken und sehen. Mein persönliches Highlight im Herbst/Winter : der "Umzug" der Pinguine in Reih und Glied. Sehr schön 😃🐾🐧 Gerne kommen wir wieder auf einen Besuch vorbei 🙂🙏🏼

Schöner Zoo Aquaristik und Reptilien sehr spnnend und schön anzuschauen. Gehäge auch von den anderen Tieren schön gestalted. Am meisten gestörrt hatt mich, dass es wennig Schilder hatt welches Tier wo ist also wo lang laufen, haben viele verwirrungen gehabt. Ansonsten alles super😊

Train took us almost directly there.. Had a great time interacting with the animals with very little crowds

Sehr schöner Zoo mit vielen Schattenplätzen und Bäumen. Schade ist, dass die Wege sehr schlecht bis gar nicht angeschrieben sind. Man erhält einen Plan aber es wäre schön, wenn dieser nicht immer in der Hand gehalten werden müsste sondern z.B mit Pfeilen gezeigt wird, welcher Weg zu welchen Tieren führt. Zudem sehr wenig Eimer vorhanden und mit Kinderwagen wird nicht erwähnt, welche Wege / Eingänge genommen werden müssen (Treppe ja / nein).

Such a lovely place for adults and children too. No queue for buying the tickets, enough places to sit in case you get tired and even though we’ve visited the zoo during a summer weekend day it wasn’t crowded at all. It’s a must see if you’re around.

Great zoo. We entered 1 hour before closing and our visit interrupted. We could not see some animals like elephants and disappointed by it.

It was very nice to see the penguins walk ! Thats why we came . But since its winter many animals were hiding

Awesome zoo. Very easy to get to. The exhibits are very good. And the penguin walk was really fun.

Bigger than expected! My friend and I went on a rainy day during winter, which meant that a lot of the animals were taking shelter. The zoo was very clean and well put. Not too crowded. I especially enjoyed the interior places (birds - fishes - reptiles) Sadly it is still a zoo in the middle of the city which means that for most mammals these cages are way too small. Especially the hippo's, they barely fit inside their pool. Same with the gorillas and the chimps, very small enclosures and I cannot help but feel compassion with these animals
