The zoo is particularly well-known for its giraffes, which produce offspring almost every year. rhino enclosure is a popular destination because these impressive animals can be admired up close. Visitors can learn a lot about their natural habitat and behavior.
A special highlight in 2024 was the gorilla offspring, which attracts a lot of interest in the modern enclosure. These fascinating primates offer exciting insights into their social behavior and their everyday lives. Unfortunately, they were all sleeping when we visited 😉

Aquazoo Schmiding and Dinopark: An experience for children
The Aquazoo is an extension of the zoo. However, we think it is very excessive that you have to pay extra for this.
The Aquazoo offers a fascinating insight into the underwater world - but it is enough to see it once. From exotic fish to reptiles and amphibians – there is a lot to discover here, especially for children. The crocodile house, where visitors can observe the impressive reptiles up close.
Part of the Aquazoo is the Dinopark, which is particularly popular with children. Here they can admire life-size replicas of dinosaurs and learn about the life of these prehistoric giants. For adults, this part is perhaps less interesting and it is a pity that nowhere is it described in detail which skeleton is exhibited there.
In the museum At the Schmiding Zoo, visitors can learn more about the animal world and natural history. However, the indoor playground is probably more interesting for children.
