Basel zoo, located right in the city center, is 12 acres of magnificent parkland. The animals in it can be seen, rather, because they want to seem, and not because the cages are arranged so that the animals were in sight. This was done deliberately in order to stimulate the imagination of visitors, so they stay there longer and got as many pleasant experiences that will be remembered for years to come.

All the necessary information about the zoo can be found on the boards of the common entrance and the entrances to each area. For example, the zoo has a special area where you can see baby animals, and on the notice Board at the entrance to the Tokyo national Museum, who can be seen on this day.
