The Leipzig Wildlife Park (in German: Wildpark Leipzig) is a zoo on the southern outskirts of Leipzig in the neighbourhood of Connewitz, Germany. It is located in the Leipzig Riverside Forest and is 42 ha (103.8 acres) in size. In the Leipzig Wildlife Park, around 25 animal species with around 250 animals that live or have lived in Central Europe or that have become native here are shown with free admission. Red deer, fallow deer and mouflon have a common large enclosure. There are also extensive enclosures for deer, wild boar, elk and European bison. Lynxes, otters, wildcats, raccoons, minks, red foxes and the European mink are kept in open outdoor enclosures. An exhibition room is available for the presentation of exhibitions and events. On a special adventure trail, visitors to the wildlife park have the opportunity to observe game without barriers. The tea house housed in a Russian log house, the wildlife park restaurant and a snack bar provide catering within the park. There are two playgrounds on the wildlife park grounds: the fairytale castle forest playground at the main entrance to Koburger Straße and the fairytale playground behind the Russian tea house. On the grounds of the wildlife park are the Jungfernlache and Panichs Lache, two oxbow lakes of the Pleiße and Weißer Elster in their common floodplain.
