Frozen - Ice Age Exhibition at the zoo
From November 1, Zoo Zurich has a few more particularly hairy animals: life-size Ice Age animals will populate the airfield next to the Lewa Savanna over the winter. Here is an overview of what there is to discover and experience.
What does the last Ice Age have to do with climate change today? We reveal this – and much more – in our special exhibition «Frozen», which will be on display at the Lewa Savanna airstrip from 1 November 2024 to 30 March 2025.

It's even more exciting when told in person: go on a journey through time with our zoo guides on our Frozen guided tour.

For Schools
For school classes, we offer the special tour «Mammoth and Co. at the Zoo». Pupils learn what led to the extinction of the Ice Age giants, what parallels there are to today – and how everyone can protect nature and animals themselves.
