• Masoala opens later, at 10am, an hour after the main gates, so start with the elephants or the savanna
• Tram 6 to Zoo, the end of the line, from the main station; tram 8 runs all the way up on Sundays, and parking nearby is limited
• Masoala Express zoo train runs from the main entrance to the Lewa Savanna during the summer season

Zoo Zürich covers 27 hectares on the wooded Zürichberg. The Masoala Rainforest is a miniature Madagascar rainforest under one roof, with red ruffed lemurs, Aldabra giant tortoises and an 18-meter treetop walkway.

The Lewa Savanna holds giraffes, white rhinos and Grévy's zebras around baobab trees that double as feeding stations. At the Kaeng Krachan Elephant Park, kids can watch Asian elephants swim past an underwater viewing window.
