Tierpark Lange Erlen
Tierpark Lange Erlen and its collection
Tierpark Lange Erlen, opened in 1871, is a zoo in Basel, Switzerland.
Founded in 1871 together with its carrier association, the Erlen-Verein, the park specialises in native animals and positions itself as a complement to the city's zoo. Roughly 450 trees stand on the site, ranging from weeping copper beech to giant sequoia. Entry is free during daylight hours.
What the venue says
- walking and jogging paths
- picnic clearings
- Spielaue playground area
- There is a lovely on-site restaurant (Restaurant Lange Erlen) located right by the park for meals, snacks, and refreshments, in addition to plenty of scenic spots ideal for packing your own picnic.
- Parking spaces are available near the park, though it can get very busy and crowded on sunny days and during school holidays, so arriving early or using public transit is recommended.
