Set in a lovely park among many trees is the Zurich Zoological Gardens. This outstanding zoo is perhaps the most popular in Europe. Open-air enclosures replicating the natural environments of the animals, is one of the wonderful features of this zoo. You can visit the open-air aviary, the red pandas or the otters or snow leopards. Visit the Africa house, the elephant house and the aquarium. Feeding time is particularly popular and for homo sapiens there are also some fine eating places in the zoo!
