Hanover Zoo, Zoo and tourist attraction in Mitte district, Hanover, Germany.
Hanover Zoo is a zoological park in Hannover with over 3,000 animals from around 230 species spread across seven different areas. Each area is designed like a different habitat and shows animals from different parts of the world.
The zoo was founded in 1865 by private investors and is one of the oldest in Germany. Major renovations happened in the 1990s and shaped how the place looks today.
Meyer's Farm showcases rural traditions from the region through historic buildings, local food, and craft demonstrations that visitors can watch. The area gives you a sense of how people lived and worked in the countryside years ago.
The zoo is open most days and has paths suited for different fitness levels, so all visitors can get around. There are cafés and restaurants throughout the grounds where you can rest and grab something to eat.
The Zambezi section lets you watch African animals like giraffes, rhinos, and zebras without glass or visible barriers blocking the view. The animals seem freer and more natural this way, while visitors still feel safe nearby.
