Exploring Our Twin Town: Neuwied Zoo
One of the brightest jewels of the Rhineland-Palatinate region, Neuwied Zoo offers an extraordinary look into wildlife conservation and makes a perfect itinerary destination for family exchanges, student groups, and visiting nature enthusiasts alike.
A new Barbary lion male named Julius arrived at Zoo Neuwied in January 2026 from ZooParc Overloon in the Netherlands.
Nestled on the edge of the historic town of Neuwied, this remarkable zoo covers over 13 hectares of natural landscape. It houses more than 1,800 animals spanning roughly 187 species, blending environmental education seamlessly with fun community outings.
✨ Highlights for Visitors from Bromley
Zoo Neuwied has long been recognised for its participation in the conservation of the rare Barbary (Atlas) lion. Although popular lion Schröder sadly passed away in 2025, the zoo continues to support international breeding and conservation efforts for this historic North African lion lineage
Perfect for School & Educational Exchanges
