Saarbrücker Zoo, Municipal zoological garden in Saarbrücken, Germany
The Saarbrücken Zoo spans 13 hectares and maintains 1000 animals from 100 different species in naturalistic enclosures across the property.
The zoo opened in 1956 on a former quarry site from 1870, replacing the original facility that was destroyed during World War II.
The zoo participates in international conservation programs through memberships in the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria and World Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
Visitors can purchase digital tickets through the online shop and scan QR codes at turnstiles for direct entry to the zoo grounds.
The zoo houses nine pairs of Humboldt penguins that require indoor shelter when temperatures drop below minus five degrees to protect their wing tips.
