Plättli Zoo

Plättli Zoo is an animal park in Frauenfeld housing lions, pumas, chimpanzees, Barbary macaques, llamas, raccoons, and small animals in habitats designed to reflect their natural environments. The grounds span multiple zones, each tailored to meet the specific needs and behaviors of its residents.

The zoo was established as a dedicated space for animal welfare and education about wildlife. Over time it became a key regional institution for conservation efforts and animal care.

The zoo serves as a place where visitors can observe animals up close and learn about their natural behaviors and needs. Families spend time together here while discovering how different species live and interact with their surroundings.

The zoo is accessible by public transport and offers easy paths to walk through all areas on foot. Bring comfortable shoes and dress appropriately for the weather, as you will spend time outdoors moving between different zones.

The grounds feature a restaurant with views overlooking Thurtal valley, where visitors can dine while taking in the surrounding landscape. There are also designated areas where families can arrange their own barbecue gatherings.
