Inselzoo Altenburg, Animal park on an island in Altenburg, Germany

The Inselzoo spans across a pond island, featuring 543 animals from 101 species including monkeys, squirrels, exotic fish, and native German wildlife.

Founded in the 1950s as a local animal garden, the Inselzoo Altenburg evolved into an educational facility centered on domestic and regional animal species.

The annual Inselzoo Festival brings together local residents and visitors to celebrate the connection between the community and its animal inhabitants.

Located at Teichpromenade 31, the zoo operates from 8:00 to 18:00 during summer months and 9:00 to 16:00 in winter, with adult tickets at 2.50 euros.

Visitors can experience the zoo from water level by renting pedal boats or rowboats to circle the island while observing the animals.
