Review of Zoo Zürich from 12 April 2012
(updated on 17 April 2012 )

Zeit Gegensteuer zu geben, die Zeit der Zoo’s ist vorbei. Zoo’s definately are an amusement of the Past

We were in Zurich Zoo our adult daughter my wife and myself on a beautiful yet cold sunday. Wir waren an einem wunderschönen aber kalten Sonntag im Zürcher Zoo – the first shock was at the cashiers unfortunately for the Zoo the price we paid raised our expectations about the experience to come. Den ersten Schock erlitten wir bereits an der Kasse, die grotesk hohen Eintrittspreise erweckten in uns hohe Erwartungen in das kommende Erlebnis. As soon as we passed the entrance we were blocked in our way to the exhibits by families standing around on the pathway efficiently obstructing passage by putting their prams in everybody’s way. Kaum war der Eingang passiert, wurden wir durch von diskutierenden Familien strategisch parkierten Kinderwagen an unserem Weg gehindert. My first exhibit was the so called Exotarium, there I decided that this would be my last visit to one of the worlds zoos, how come? In front of just about every exhibit families were placed, unruly kids knocking on the windows – sometimes even encouraged by their fathers. A noise level close to a jungle of shrieking banshees caused by inpatient babies in their prams. Meine erste Ausstellung war das sogenannte Exotarium, wo ich mich alsbald entschloss, dass dies mein letzter Besuch in einem der Zoos dieser Welt gewesen sei, warum das? So ziemlich for jedem Fenster warren Eltern mit ihren Kindern, welche es nicht fertig brachten ihre Kinder vom Klopfen an die Fenster abzuhalten. Der Lärmpegel durch die ungeduldigen Babies in ihren Kinderwägen entsprach dem eines Dschungels bewohnt von Brüllaffen. And there was no Zoo staff anywhere to end this mess. Kein Zoopersonal war anwesend um die Ruhe und Ordnung wieder herzustellen.
Auf dem Weg zum Ausgang bedauerte ich eine freiwillige Mitarbeiterin des Zoos welche versuchte die Kinder in eine Präsentation einzuladen , die Beklagenswerte wurde dabei immer wieder von Erwachsenen bedrängt, welche sich durch den benötigten Platz für diese kleine interaktive Demo eingeschränkt fühlten. On the way out I regretted a voluntary who tried to get kids attention for her presentation, however without much success, as adults were very unkind because she needed some space for her work. I quickly made my way to the exit being thoroughly disgusted with the Zoo and its visitors. Schnell durch den Ausgang erfüllt von Abscheu über Besucher und den Zoo.My ladies who managed to stand the experience somewhat longer complained that at some exhibits the troves of spectators were so thick that one was hardly able to see the animals. Meine Damen hielten die Erfahrung etwas länger aus, beklagten such aber darüber, dass bei einzelnen Tierarten quasi nichts zu sehen war, es seinen einfach zuviele Besucher der Aussicht im Wege gestanden.
At least the Zoo should have sufficient staff on duty and limit the number of visitors ;this truly would be for the benefit of the animals and spectators alike. Zumindest sollte der Zoo genügend Personal im Einsatz haben und zum Wohl von Tieren und Zuschauern die Besucherzahl limitieren. And give prams a parking lot. Und parkiert die Kinderwägen ausserhalb des Zoos.

Review of Zoo Zürich from 23 September 2011

Very nice zoo continually improving the conditions for the animals. It’s rather small but really very good. Must see, especially with children. A bit expensive if you go with the whole family but still worth the money.

    Wie schön, dass ich mit meiner Kritik am Zürcher Nationalheiligtum “Zürcher Zoo” nicht allein bin, Du sagst es kurz und bündig in einem Satz, bravo!

Review of Zoo Zürich from 12 March 2009

This is the best way to do something on a lazy, grey sunday. If you go on a sunday, you have to go early. It’s very busy with all the families. This Zoo has a big parts outside and big parts inside. Things that i most like is the variety of animals that makes the Zoo special. For example the snowleopard and the rainforest from Madagascar. You don’t have this in the Netherlands. Luckly i have a yearcard. So i can go whenever i want. This is really a “must see place”!
