A visit your way
Built for the questions visitors actually ask.
Use the app to explore Zoo Leipzig before you travel, decide what matters to you, and then use the same map, animal guide and route tools during your visit.
Animal and nature enthusiasts
Search common and scientific names, browse animal groups and subgroups, inspect conservation status and explore 45 catalog entries marked as rarely kept in European zoos.
Visitors planning around accessibility
Locate eight accessible restroom locations, eight elevator locations and other practical facilities. The stroller route is not a certified wheelchair-accessible route; check signs and on-site conditions.
First-time and international visitors
See your GPS position on the map, search by name or proximity and navigate to a selected place. The interface is available in twelve languages.
Inside the app
Plan ahead, then navigate on site.
A map made for the grounds
Pan and zoom around buildings, paths and water, select points of interest and choose which categories to show. Start a walking route or the stroller profile, then follow on-screen directions and the remaining distance. GPS helps you return to your position; mapped stairs are avoided by the stroller profile.
Discover the animals
The catalog contains 469 entries with scientific names, ranges, diets, classification and conservation status. Search and filter by group, subgroup or status, then see all matching locations on the map. Where available, animal pages add breeding information and other details. A separate view highlights 45 entries marked as present in no more than five European zoos.
Keep up with the daily program
Browse feeding sessions and other scheduled events with times and locations. Show their places on the map and opt in to reminders during your visit. Separate push preferences cover general messages and notices for people on site; messages can point to a link or map location.
Find the practical things
Search for nearby restaurants, restrooms, playgrounds, baby changing facilities, elevators, first aid and more. Sort results by distance and show multiple matches at once on the map. Each place is a location to find, not a claim about how many individual facilities it contains.
A closer look
837 places to find. More than an animal map.
The current dataset has 837 mapped locations in 27 categories. Its 575 animal locations are map points; the 469 animal catalog entries are a separate count and should not be read as 469 distinct species.
Browse mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates. Filters include animal subgroups and conservation codes such as CR, EN and VU. Catalog entries may represent species, subspecies or managed forms; a separate NA code is used for the latter.
Counts describe locations in the app dataset, not a live count of animals, facilities or available services at the zoo. Zoo operations and routes can change.

Zoo Leipzig Navigation
Explore without a connection
The map, animal information, search and route calculation can work offline after the app has confirmed valid access. Internet is required for activation, purchases, restoring access and push notifications.
How access works
Outside the Zoo Leipzig grounds, the app is free to use, including exploring the map, browsing animal information and planning a future visit. On the zoo grounds, eligible devices receive a one-time 15-minute free trial starting from activation. Continued on-site use requires a valid app voucher or prepaid access for one day or one year through Google Play, with no automatic renewal. Available options and prices are shown before purchase. App access does not include admission to Zoo Leipzig.
Reminders and location
Event reminders are optional. With your permission, precise location helps determine whether you are still visiting, including while the app is minimized or the screen is locked. A persistent visit notification lets you end this tracking at any time. Location use can increase battery consumption.
