Brnenská ZOO má situované své pavilony, výbehy, voliéry a terária v clenitém a lesnatém terénu Mniší hory v mestské cásti Bystrc. Atraktivitu tohoto místa umocnuje blízkost rekreacního centra moravské metropole, brnenské prehrady. Zahrada byla otevrena 30. srpna 1953 a po více než 50leté historii má dnes rozlohu 65,5 ha.

To vše a ješte mnohem více uvidíte pri procházce v príjemném prostredí do kterého mužete vzít i Vaše pejsky. Vždyt ve zdejší ZOO žije více než 720 jedincu. Nejvetšími chovatelskými úspechy jsou bezesporu první umelý odchov šimpanze a ledního medveda u nás.
