Kaiserslautern Zoo

Animal adventures for the whole family

Kaiserslautern Zoo is situated in the south-west of the city. It is an oasis of tranquillity where visitors can experience nature, relax and learn a great deal.

The zoo currently houses 508 animals representing more than 110 species across a seven-hectare site. The zoo is committed to raising public awareness of nature conservation and species protection through species-appropriate animal care, the recreation of natural habitats, animal enrichment, in-depth information, educational programmes and youth work. The playground for younger visitors, the nature trail and the zoo café round off a day out at Kaiserslautern Zoo.

To provide a practical insight into Kaiserslautern Zoo, the zoo offers regular specialist guided tours. These are also very popular with the youngest visitors at children’s birthday parties or with nursery schools. To cater for its American partners, the zoo also offers guided tours in English.

The zoo shop is also sporting a new look for the 2026 season: the range has been completely revamped. From plush chicks and detailed animal figures to keyrings – many of our favourite animals from the zoo are now available as lovely souvenirs for the home.

About the Zoo

Since its opening in 1968 as “Animal Park Siegelbach” it has grown and evolved into the Zoo Kaiserslautern as it is known today.

On an area of about 17 acres there are the habitats of 110 animal species and 631 wild and domestic animals. You can experience exotic animals as well as wild and domestic animals from various countries around the world.

The Zoo’s priority is to keep the animals in their natural environment and by demonstrating biospheres, animal activities, detailed information, animal education science and youth work, giving visitors an understanding of nature conservation and the protection of species.

Kaiserslautern Zoo does much more than simply manage the day by day operation of the zoo; it also supports scientific research at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern and cooperates with working groups and institutions of animal protection.

The zoo takes all EU guidelines very seriously as well as the World Nature Conservation Strategy. These guidelines constitute how the biospheres of every single species at the zoo has to be equipped.

The planning concept Zoo 2000 will double the size of the zoo of Kaiserslautern and future habitats will be extended in the coming years, including the biospheres: “Ussurien”, “Savannenlandschaft” (savannah), “Amazonas”, “Pfälzer Bauernhof” (local farm), “Erlensumpf” (swamp) with European otters and minks, as well as a large playground in connection with the existing beer garden and fairground.

The zoo offers professionally guided tours, which children especially enjoy, for instance on children’s birthday parties or kindergarten visits.
