Yes, it’s true. Any time of the year you can experience tropical temperatures at the end of the number 6 tram line.

Zurich Zoo prides itself on being one of the most modern in the world, seeking to reproduce natural habitats for it’s animals.

The Masaola rainforest is typical of their dedication, featuring many types of flora and fauna.

As with most zoos, the purpose is educational, and the Masaola forest is there to inform about the causes of the disappearance of forests, but also projects that help conserve forests in the real world.

The forest opens at 10:00 and is open until 18:00. (17:00 Nov-Feb)
