Betzenberg Wildlife Park

Betzenberg Wildlife Park is a zoo set within a forest area where native and non-native animals live in natural surroundings. The park spans across a large woodland landscape with separate sections designed for different species.

The wildlife park was established in 1970 as a sanctuary for animal species from the Rhineland-Palatinate region. This creation allowed Kaiserslautern to preserve and display the area's native fauna in one protected space.

The park serves as a place where visitors can observe local wildlife and learn about the forest's role in daily life. School groups and families use the woodland school to understand how animals live and why protecting their homes matters.

The park is accessible year-round without admission fees, so you can visit whenever it suits you. Walking through the woodland paths is easy and there are areas for all visitor types and ages.

The park contains an ancient forest section called Eichenkranz featuring oak trees that are over 300 years old. These venerable trees are a special feature that offers visitors a glimpse into the region's forest history.
