Why go

The zoo is a different pace from Basel's compact museum and old-town circuit. Its varied animal enclosures and landscaped routes give children and adults room to explore over a longer visit. The location near the main station also makes it workable at the beginning or end of a city day, provided you leave enough time for the grounds.

What to look for

Varied animal habitats.
Landscaped walking paths.

Useful to know

Allow a dedicated block of time; the grounds are close to Basel SBB.
