Zoologischer Garten Magdeburg, Municipal zoo in Magdeburg, Germany.

Zoologischer Garten Magdeburg is a city zoo that houses animals from multiple continents, including a large African savannah landscape and dedicated primate areas. The grounds feature separate zones designed to reflect the natural habitats of the animals living there.

The facility was founded in 1950 and expanded rapidly during the following years as exotic animals from various regions were brought in. This growth made it an important destination for people seeking to learn about wildlife from around the globe.

The zoo's name changed from Magdeburger Tiergarten to Zoologischer Garten Magdeburg in 1959, when the grounds reached about 20 hectares. Its international reputation rests on breeding black rhinos: the cow Kenia, who arrived in 1970, gave birth in 1979 to the first black rhino born in the GDR and lived to 46, the oldest of her species worldwide. A rhinoceros born on 24 December 2011 was named by public internet vote.

The zoo is open daily and easy to navigate on foot, with plenty of space to walk through the various areas at your own pace. Multiple pathways and rest spots allow visitors to pause and observe the animals without rushing.

The 800 m² Madagascar enclosure opened in October 2014 after the support association Zoofreunde Magdeburg raised 120,000 euros. Visitors can walk through it, and it houses ring-tailed lemurs, red ruffed lemurs and other lemur species.
