Tierpark Haag, Zoo in Haag, Austria

Tierpark Haag is a zoo run by the municipality of Haag in Lower Austria, occupying the park of Salaberg Castle. It keeps about 80 animal species, from native squirrels and owls to pumas and leopards, in enclosures and aviaries laid out among the park's paths and ponds.

In 1970 the municipality of Haag leased the previously inaccessible park of Salaberg Castle and began renovating its paths and ponds. The zoo opened with a bear enclosure; in 1973 it closed briefly during an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Austria. A bird-voice trail was added in the 1980s, and the big-cat enclosure and aviaries were expanded in the 1990s. Mayor Ernst Huber, the founder, initially led the zoo; the mayor and responsible councillor still direct it, and it joined the Austrian Zoo Organisation in 2024.

The zoo sits within the grounds of Salaberg Castle, where the old park layout is still visible around the animal enclosures. Families from the surrounding area come here regularly, making it a place where children often have their first close encounter with farm and wild animals.

Most enclosures are outdoors, so a visit is more comfortable in dry weather. The grounds cover a large area, so wear sturdy shoes and set aside enough time to walk through everything at a relaxed pace.

In 2011 two North Chinese leopards were born here, a subspecies of which only about 100 animals live in captivity worldwide. The zoo began in 1973 with a bear enclosure and today keeps around 80 species, from native squirrels and owls to pumas and leopards.
