Tiergarten Wels

Tiergarten Wels is a zoo in Austria displaying multiple animal species throughout designed habitats and grounds. The facility includes different biotope areas, natural zones, and gardens where over 100 animal species reside.

The zoo began as one of Upper Austria's oldest zoological gardens and has existed for decades. Over the years the facility developed continuously and remains an established place for animal observation today.

The zoo serves as a place where visitors learn about animal behavior and habitats while walking through landscaped gardens. The space conveys knowledge about protecting wildlife and understanding natural needs in an accessible way.

The grounds are easy to visit and offer various paths to explore the animal areas. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and plan enough time for an unhurried walk through the facility.

A natural stream runs through the grounds and creates ponds and wet habitats. These water areas support both the zoo animals and attract local wildlife species that visit the site.
