Nuremberg Zoo, Zoo in Reichswald Forest, Nuremberg, Germany
The zoo extends across 67 hectares of forest land, featuring natural enclosures for 300 animal species including gorillas, snow leopards, and polar bears.
Founded in 1912 at Luitpoldhain, the zoo relocated to Reichswald in 1939 after closure of its original site and underwent reconstruction in the 1950s.
The institution maintains breeding programs for endangered species and conducts research projects in collaboration with international conservation organizations.
The facility operates daily from 8:00 AM to 7:30 PM with variable admission fees between 4 and 20 euros depending on visitor categories.
The zoo gained international recognition through Flocke, a polar bear cub raised by caretakers in 2007 and adopted by the United Nations Environment Programme.
