👍👍 The people at the reception are super adorable. The rules of covid 19 are respected. The path is clean, the animals all look healthy. Small + for Pokemon Go players -> there are lots, lots, lots of pokemons there! 🤣 People often mention animals,

Le chemin est propre, les animaux ont tous l'air en bonne santé. Petit + pour les joueurs de Pokemon Go -> y a pleins pleins pleins pleins de pokemons là bas! 🤣

    So a zoo is always worth a visit. The cleanliness and friendly staff are to be praised. The signage is great, we saw everything and have been there 3 times. The restaurant is really nice with super delicious food and great dessert. Only parking is inconvenient but even this is not worth a deduction for me. My children were so happy because you rarely get that close to rare animals. So always happy.

    We love the zoo. There is something for every age group. Also great for bad weather, as many animals also have covered areas where you can go in. Parking is available for a fee. It has two entrances where there are also toilets, there are catering facilities at both entrances and there is also a large restaurant with toilets in the zoo itself. Everything is possible with a stroller or wheelchair. There are at least 2 children's playgrounds. We always enjoy coming back.

    As always, the Basel Zolli is a beautiful place with lots of different animals

    Generally a nice Zoo. Later in the year, many animals are kept inside - current renovations further restrict which species one can see. Parking is somewhat limited and expensive. The zoo should improve the signs and markings so one can find your way!

    In the restaurant they dont have proper children's food and no children drink. I bought a cup wich was 2fr it was the only cup not of glass and by the till I had to pay 2 fot the cupe an 3.30fr for the appeljuice in it. So for two children 10.60 fr ...this is way too much !!! Some cages are really small ..they should definitely do something about the one of the giraffe's.

    It was a nice Zoo and animals were kept in their habitat. It was quite safe and must visit for familiy's specially to spend quality time

    The oldest and largest zoo in Switzerland. But unfortunately that's also why it's the most overcrowded zoo in Switzerland. Especially during Corona times, I would like to see more entry restrictions. Then a train line runs through the zoo. I don't imagine it being nice for the animals either, even if they might get used to it. Too few information boards in my opinion. Otherwise a lot of green.

    Another little vacation! Everything fine; The facility is excellently maintained and the new bird house is a great success. The work hardly bothers you... a very nice afternoon!

    Magnificent place with a multitude of animals..we can attend the meal of pelicans and sea lions..absolutely worth visiting

    Only progress since my first visit in 1974... Some work limits our travel a little but the new facilities are absolutely magnificent. If you visit during the week you can have time to stay in front of the aquariums.

    Bellissimo e grandissimo. Animali stupendi e rari, tenuti in ottime condizioni con molto spazio. Perfetta integrazione di edifici nascosti dalla vegetazione; ottima visibilitĂ  da ogni punto. Gradevole per grandi e bambini, dietro il centro cittĂ , raggiungibile con i mezzi, con ristorante perfettamente organizzato, bagni curati sparsi ovunque.

    Zoo de Bâle un havre de paix au milieu d'une grande ville, pour y aller faire une promenade le mieux c'est les transports publics le train pour arriver à Bâle ensuite les trams ou bus. La voiture aussi mais le problème pas beaucoup de places de parking surtout le week-end. Pour les personnes à mobilitÊ rÊduite l'accès est facile La visite vaut le dÊtour.

😠 Just had an encounter this morning April 16 with a non cooperative DB personal at the desk at Basel Bad Bf. I asked for a question about a train, the only thing that woman was able to answer was “no understand, German Germany”, asking me to speak German. Seriously, what this that kind of service? Sh...

👍👍 An amazing museum. Filled with crazy creativity. The museum shows not only the artwork of the artist but also all the notes he had in his diaries, the small scribbles on the corner of the pages; the story of the artist in as much detail as possible.
