Bern Animal Park is known for its spacious facilities and exceptional location. Native species such as bear, lynx, wolf but also rarer species such as moose, musk ox and ice fox can be observed 365 days a year. In the vivarium – at the heart of the zoo – you enter a tropical garden where exotic animals and the largest reef in Switzerland can be admired. The Bern Animal Park is a scientifically managed zoo.
