Tierpark Wismar, Zoo near Old Town in Wismar, Germany

Tierpark Wismar is a zoo on the southwestern edge of Wismar, about two kilometres from the historic centre, in the valley of the Köppernitz stream next to the Bürgerpark. Its long, mostly wooded grounds hold around 50 species, mainly European, including bison on a steep slope, lynxes, raccoons, ostriches, red and fallow deer, and a monkey island for ring-tailed lemurs in a pond.

Tierpark Wismar has occupied its site on the Köppernitz valley since 1978, when it was founded as a municipal facility. In 1991 it was placed under the management of a non-profit association. Since then, enclosures have been merged and rebuilt to give the animals more space, and a walk-through alpaca enclosure was added in 2016.

The zoo's name refers to the Köppernitz valley site it has occupied since 1978, next to the Bürgerpark and the 2002 Landesgartenschau grounds. Dwarf goats and Chinese mask pigs roam freely among visitors, and since 2016 an alpaca enclosure can be walked through. A half-timbered poultry house in Mecklenburg style is under construction.

The zoo lies about two kilometres south-west of Wismar's old town, in the valley of the Köppernitz stream next to the Bürgerpark, the site of the 2002 state garden show. The long, mostly wooded grounds are reached on foot; the bison enclosure sits on a steep slope, while the central farm area is level.

The monkey island lies in a pond in the southern part of the zoo and is home to ring-tailed lemurs (Kattas). Visitors can enter the enclosure itself, so the animals are observed without a barrier between them and the public.
