Augsburg Zoo

Zoo Augsburg

A mid-sized zoo south of the city with about 1,300 animals and shaded grounds. It's good for a family half-day outing.

The zoo was founded in 1937 and keeps elephants, sea lions, zebras, tigers and many native species. The layout is compact, with a large children's playground and feeding shows. It sits across the road from the botanical garden, and a combined ticket is available. Adult admission is about 16 euros. It is about 20 minutes by tram or bus from the city center.
