Changes and Developments at Zoo Neuwied

Since being taken over by a local association in 1984, Zoo Neuwied has undergone significant changes. The zoo has shifted towards a more scientific approach under the leadership of biologist Heinrich Klein. Additionally, several new facilities have been built, including a tropical building for reptiles and birds, an enlarged predator house, and a large seal enclosure with an underwater tunnel. These changes have greatly enhanced the visitor experience at the zoo.
