Zoologischer Garten Hof, Zoo in Hof, Germany.

Zoologischer Garten Hof is the only zoo in Upper Franconia, located in the northeast of Hof next to the Theresienstein citizens' park. It covers a compact site with an aviary for owls and birds of prey, a monkey house for capuchin and marmoset monkeys, a lynx enclosure, and a walk-through Bennett's wallaby enclosure. The Savanna House (formerly the tropical house) presents South American species on 400 m², including a rainforest biotope, a 7,000-litre landscape aquarium, and a large Amazon basin.

The zoo opened in 1954 as a way to bring animals from around the world closer to the people of Hof. In 1994, it was expanded as part of the State Garden Show and connected to the neighboring Theresienstein city park.

The zoo's animal sponsorships let local residents and public figures support individual animals; ventriloquist Sebastian Reich took on sponsorship of the donkey Apollo 13, named after Dimitri's donkey in the film Der Schuh des Manitu. The zoo also keeps rare livestock breeds such as the Skudde sheep and the Franconian Bagdette pigeon.

The zoo is easy to walk through since the paths are clear and the whole area is manageable in size. Arriving earlier in the day tends to give a better chance of seeing the animals active, especially in warmer weather.

The zoo's walk-through enclosure is for Bennett's wallabies, and since 2006 it has also kept gibbons and several owl aviaries. Its walk-through budgerigar aviary was rebuilt in 2018 as part of a modernisation costing around 210,000 euros, which also brought a new ticket house and bilingual German-Czech signage.
