Tierpark Gera, Zoo and park in Gera, Germany
Tierpark Gera extends across 20 hectares of forested terrain, providing habitats for 600 animals representing 70 species from the Northern Hemisphere and beyond.
The facility started in 1962 as a small native animal enclosure and developed into the largest zoological institution in East Thuringia over subsequent decades.
The park integrates educational programs where students participate in operating the forest railway as guards, conductors, and station personnel under professional guidance.
The park maintains different seasonal schedules, operating from 9:00 to 18:00 between March and October, with reduced hours during winter months.
Visitors can enter the Barbary macaque enclosure and observe these primates without barriers while a miniature railway traverses through the grounds.
