Tierpark Lange Erlen

Tierpark Lange Erlen spans across natural grounds along the River Wiese, providing habitats for both native and exotic animal species within spacious enclosures.

Founded in 1871, this zoological park emerged three years before the establishment of Basel Zoo, marking a significant period in the development of Swiss wildlife conservation.

The zoo receives substantial support through donations from local citizens, enabling it to maintain free admission and continue its mission of wildlife education.

Visitors can access numerous walking paths throughout the facility, utilize designated picnic areas, and participate in educational programs focused on animal care.

The children's playground 'Die Spielaue' combines recreational facilities with educational elements, creating an environment where learning meets entertainment.
