Fodor's Expert Review Zoo Basel

Bahnhof SBB Family

At this zoo with a conscience, the management makes an effort to both educate the public and help save rare species from extinction, making visits an exciting experience, especially for children. Referred to by Baslers as Zolli, Zoo Basel is famed for its rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses, gorillas, and fabulous vivarium filled with fish and reptiles. A monkey house allows the gorillas and chimps access to the outdoors. A combined elephant enclosure and restaurant makes an unusual location from which to watch the majestic animals while dining on contemporary cuisine.
