Read moreNew prices for parking in the Zurich Wilderness Park
The Wildnispark Zurich Foundation is increasing the daily flat rates for visitor parking by five francs as of 1st January 2024. The foundation uses this income to finance a significant part of its operations. The reason for the price increase is rising costs for the maintenance of animal facilities and visitor infrastructure.
Admission to the Wildnispark Zurich is free for visitors. This is only possible because the foundation's sponsors and the Zürcher Kantonalbank as the main sponsor finance the operation to a large extent. The sponsors include the city and canton of Zurich, municipalities in the district of Horgen and Pro Natura Zurich.
However, the Wildnispark Zurich Foundation must also generate its own funds to cover the costs of running the park. In addition to donations and income from courses and guided tours, car park revenue is an important source of income. Rising costs and increased maintenance requirements now make it necessary to adjust prices after ten years.
An annual parking permit is worthwhile for frequent visits
Anyone who drives to the Wildnispark Zurich by car pays a daily flat rate for the car park. From 1st January 2024, this will cost CHF 15 at Langenberg Wildlife Park and CHF 10 at Sihlwald. The payment obligation lasts from 08:00 to 18:00.
For people who visit the park frequently, an annual parking permit is an attractive option; this will continue to cost CHF 100 and is valid for one year.
Better public transport connections to Langenberg Wildlife Park
The timetable change from 10th December 2023 will improve accessibility to Langenberg Wildlife Park by public transport. Bus route 153 will now run from Adliswil to Langnau-Gattikon at weekends. It runs every 20 minutes and stops at the Schwerzi-Wildpark bus stop in Langnau am Albis. As before, bus route 240 also stops there and runs between Thalwil railway station via Hausen am Albis to Baar. Both bus routes are well coordinated with the S-Bahn timetable.
"We are very pleased about this new service!" explains Karin Hindenlang Clerc, Managing Director of Wildnispark Zurich. "Anyone who prefers to visit us by public transport can now travel very flexibly thanks to a wide range of connections."
