Wilhelma Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Stuttgart, Germany, once a private retreat of King Wilhelm I, has become one of the most unique zoos around with its interesting combination of animals, plants and historic buildings. Open all year round and with covered pathways and walkways that lead to animal enclosures and plant houses, Wilhelma Zoo and Botanical Gardens welcomes more than 2 million visitors annually. Zoos provide great attractions for family outings, and our recently constructed home for gorillas and bonobos ensures these magnificent creatures can enjoy spacious living quarters and attractions to keep them occupied. Wilhelma Zoo and Botanical Gardens is home to more than 1000 species of animals which is more than most zoos, and also has 7000 varieties of plants in their botanical gardens.
