As we traveled over the Eater period only the Zoo was openn on Easter Sunday (open 365 days a year) wow! Super cool, well worth a visit if you have a few hours and only 18 euros! More

The best zoo I have visited so far! We got the deal with SBB (discount for our trip + discount for the entrance ticket to the Zoo in Basel). It is not far from the center (10-15 mins walk) and clean. Vivarium has beautiful and variety of fishes, but very few serpents (i expected to see more). Some animals were... More

Maybe my expectations were higher than necessary, but after having read that the Basel zoo is famous, I was disappointed to see the low number of animals, nothing very interesting. I find it expensive for what it offers to you More

(I went here in April 2010, not 2011, but Tripadvisor doesn't let me go back to 2010.) Zoo Basel is the greatest zoo I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot, including San Diego.

Well laid out and great to walk around in fantastic weather! We thought it was good value and liked the investment they are making. A couple of the animal houses need upgrading (seals and snow leopard IMHO), but you can see they are doing this one by one... The monkey closure will be fantastic when it has finished. Has a... More

It´s a regular Zoo, if you like animals and have time.. It´s a good way to spend an afternoon or a day!! More

The Basel ZOO is a center of the town. It is a very easy to reach it by tram. From Bahnhof SBB tram #10 towards Rodersdorf and - stop ZOO. From Barfusserplatz, Marktplatz and Schifflande tram #17 towards Ettingen - stop ZOO. A big ZOO with many animals and species from around the world. The best is "Vivarium" with aquaria,... More
