Tierpark Weihermätteli is a 4-hectare animal park in Liestal, home to about 200 animals from some 20 mostly native breeds, several of them rare. Kids meet dwarf goats, Shetland ponies, llamas, donkeys, Highland cattle, sika deer and raccoons, and can stroke animals in the petting zoo.

A new nature playground, built on several levels with native plants, opened in 2026.
