Lisbon Zoo is more than just a place to see animals; it is dedicated to conservation efforts. It participates in the European Endangered Species Programme, working to protect and breed species such as the Persian leopard and the okapi. Visitors can contribute to these efforts through animal sponsorships and educational programmes that stress the importance of wildlife conservation.

With contemporary facilities, including a leading veterinary hospital, the welfare of all resident animals is assured. Accessibility is also a key focus, with amenities like the visitor train ensuring everyone can explore the zoo with ease. Since its inception, the zoo has progressed from its original location in São Sebastião da Pedreira to its present site in Quinta das Laranjeiras, continually enhancing both visitor experience and animal care.

Whether you are admiring the playful sea lions, enjoying interactive bird-feeding moments, or soaking in scenic views from the train, Lisbon Zoo offers a memorable experience for every visitor. Come and enjoy the wonder of Lisbon's premier zoo, where education, conservation, and entertainment come together in perfect harmony.
