Lyon Zoo, Zoological garden in Tête d'Or Park, France
Lyon Zoo spans across 8 hectares within an urban park, presenting 300 animals from 66 different species in specialized habitats and environments.
French lawyer Claude-Marius Vaïsse established Lyon Zoo in 1858 as an integral component of the Parc de la Tête d'Or development project.
The zoo maintains strong connections with the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria, focusing on species conservation and research initiatives.
Visitors can access the zoo facilities, including the three-hectare African plain and various animal exhibits, daily between 9:30 AM and 6:30 PM.
The facility features a large African savanna where giraffes, zebras, and antelopes coexist in semi-freedom within a natural environment.
