About Lisbon Zoo

Lisbon Zoo (Jardim Zoológico de Lisboa) is a zoological garden in Lisbon, founded in 1884 and opened to the public on 28 May of that year with 1,127 animals, some donated by the Portuguese royal family. It began in the park of São Sebastião da Pedreira, moved to Palhavã in 1894 and in 1905 settled at its current site, Quinta das Laranjeiras in Sete Rios, where architect Raul Lino was commissioned in 1912 to develop its gardens and animal facilities. Today it keeps about 2,000 animals of more than 300 species, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and arthropods, and receives around 800,000 visitors a year. Its mission includes conservation and breeding of endangered species, research and education.
