Lisbon Zoo, officially the Jardim Zoológico de Lisboa, is one of Europe's oldest zoos, home to over 2,000 animals from around the world. The zoo is known for its successful breeding programs and immersive habitats, including a walk-through lemur enclosure and a reptile house. Highlights include daily dolphin shows, a cable car that glides above the park offering aerial views, and a children's farm. Visitors can see everything from elephants and giraffes to tigers and gorillas. The zoo is a popular family destination, combining education and conservation.
