Since its founding in 1962 Knies Children's Zoo in Rapperswil at the Lake of Zurich is a popular meeting place, where young and old alike can meet around 300 animal individuals.
The opening of the newly built elephant park in spring 2015 and the associated restaurant Himmapan with up to 250 seats for a la carte and events has even more established Knies Children’s Zoo as a unique adventure park and leading resource for high-culinary events.
