In the 40-hectare wildlife park, visitors can get very close to native animal species in the wild.
The Moritzburg Wildlife Park offers the opportunity to observe a wide variety of animals in large, near-natural enclosures all year round. In total, the zoo is home to more than 30 predominantly native animal species. These include fallow deer, elk, red deer, lynx, golden pheasants and otters. An experience for all animal lovers is the Bambi petting enclosure, where sika deer can be stroked. Special guided tours of selected animal species can also be booked at the wildlife park.
The Moritzburg Wildlife Park looks back on a long history. Its roots go back to the "Old Animal Garden", which Elector Johann Georg IV had built in 1693/94. Parts of the original quarry stone walls of the old game reserve have been preserved to this day and serve as enclosure boundaries.
