Top Nature Spots in Canton of Zurich

I recommend getting to the zoo right at 9 AM when it opens. You get a head start on the crowds and can take your time seeing all the animals before it gets too busy.

My advice is to wear comfy shoes. The zoo is larger than you might expect – I underestimated the amount of walking we’d be doing and was exhausted by the end!

If you're on a budget, bring snacks instead of dining at the restaurant. The food looked good, but I felt like it was a bit overpriced for what it was

I suggest downloading the zoo's app before going. It has a map and schedule of events, which saved me a ton of time trying to find my way around.

If you're planning to eat, try to avoid the restaurant and pack some snacks instead. The food is good but can be pricey. I wish I had known that before ordering!

I suggest visiting during the early afternoon, around 2 PM. It's way less crowded, and you can really enjoy the serenity of the hot springs without feeling rushed.
