The trend of displaying animals here is very natural spacious concepts, all behind hidden barriers, moats and lots of shrubs. Various modes of travelling is by trams, carriages and for many of course walking enables one to really discover the true beauty of walking and looking at the animals in man made natural habitat. Strollers, wheelchairs and 'Tiny Explorer' a little wagon for kids can be rented from the zoo.

Animal appearance and animal shows make up an interesting part of Zoo visits.
