By the way, you can also shop in our shop without visiting the exhibitions.
Dogs
Dogs are not allowed in the exhibits and visitors facilities. This is also valid for guide dogs. On the one hand dogs can be a stress factor for the animals living within the exhibits and on the other hand these animals can also be dangerous for dogs.
For dogs there is a “Dog Hotel” under the entrance bridge. The large enclosures are equipped with a water dish. This service is free of charge, however a deposit of CHF 20.- is requested when picking up the key at the reception.
