Langenberg Wildlife Park

Switzerland’s oldest zoo

The Wildnispark Zurich Langenberg Is a scientifically managed zoo and a member of zooschweiz (the Swiss Association of Scientific Zoos). The members of zooschweiz are committed to maintaining high standards in animal husbandry, oriented towards the well-being of the animals.

The Wildnispark Zurich keeps its wild animals in expansive, near-natural enclosures and aims to ensure that the animals are able to live out their repertoire of natural behaviours to the fullest possible extent. In particular, this includes finding mates, rearing their young and, in the case of social species, living together in groups.
