Kaiserslautern Zoo

Start of the season at the zoo this Easter: Animal adventures for the whole family

Kaiserslautern Zoo kicks off the new season over the Easter holidays and warmly invites visitors to experience spring at the zoo. On Easter Monday, 6 April 2026, the zoo will open its gates to visitors of all ages from 9 am to 6.30 pm.

In keeping with the Easter spirit, visitors can look forward to a varied and colourful programme: alongside guided tours for all age groups, the youngest guests in particular can look forward to a fun Easter rally with a prize draw, as well as a bouncy castle on the zoo grounds. Hands-on activities and information stands offer exciting insights into the animal world and invite visitors to explore.

“The start of the season at Easter is a very special moment for us every year,” explains zoo director Petra Rödler. “Many animals are particularly active at this time, and our new arrivals among the kangaroos are also showing themselves to visitors for the first time. We have also resumed breeding our Brahma chickens – the chicks are expected to hatch just in time for Easter. Young chicks are also growing up among our budgerigars. The meerkats’ enclosure has been redesigned, and the new otter enclosure is also making great progress. The otters can currently be seen in their temporary enclosure. We have also been working on the design of the Warmhaus, and a colourful panther chameleon has moved in. So there is plenty to discover.

The zoo shop is also sporting a new look for the start of the 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. If you’d like to give the zoo as a gift this Easter, you’ll also find sponsorships and vouchers among the Easter offers.

Come along and discover the wild side of Kaiserslautern!” From 1 April 2026, the zoo will once again be open daily from 9 am to 6.30 pm and looks forward to welcoming many visitors in the new season. Further information at www.zoo-kl.de.

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.
