Dresden Zoo
Dresden, Germany
Dresden Zoo, or Zoo Dresden, is a zoo in the city of Dresden, Germany. It opened in 1861, making it Germany's fourth-oldest zoo. It was originally designed by Peter Joseph Lenné. The zoo is located on the southern edge of the Großer Garten (Great Garden), a large city centre park. The zoo houses about 3000 animals of almost 400 species, especially Asian animals. It is a member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA) and the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA). The zoo is served on its southern side by tram lines 9 and 13 of the Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe, the local municipal transport company. On its northern side is the Zoo station of the Dresdner Parkeisenbahn, a minimum-gauge railway through the Großer Garten that is largely operated by children.
