visit the zoo

by vpas

The zurich zoo is a must see in case you are travelling with children.It is a pleasant experience where you find animals not in stifling cages,but with adequate movement space.Don't miss their section on baby animals and also the tropical forest section.In case you have toddlers or children who need to be carried,then ask for a "pram".The zoo provides one.It is easily reachable by tram and bus.
