I went there in winter with my sister and her mate on the 25th December. We spent about 2.5 hours there. We saw quite a few animals, though some were not outside cause it was winter and quite cold. The zoo is well maintained and kept clean, and the paths for walking were well cleared of snow. We brought our own lunch, and so I can't comment on the restaurant. All in all, we spent a nice time in the nice little zoo.

I've been there alone and it was a good place to see. I didn't expect anything special, but I was still really surprised (in a good way). I've booked an happy hour ticket on the website (you can have a ticket for 10 CHF instead of 29.-), and even if it's only from 5 PM and it closes at 6 PM, it was enough to see everything. I've really liked the fact you can see many informations about local fishes, fishes around the world, snakes, other animals...and you can also put it in different languages. I didn't like too much to see some spiders (big ones !) but only because I didn't expect that. Otherwise, I recommend this place, it really worth it ! Check on the website to book your tickets, you can have 30% off the price, or as said before, happy hour tickets. Enjoy !
