Leipzig Zoo's popularity with the public rose last year. Around 1.9 million visitors were the third-best annual result to date, the zoo announced. In 2022, 1.87 million guests had been counted.
In 2011 and 2012, the zoo had attracted more than two million visitors each year. At that time, a new tropical hall was a particular attraction.
In 2023, four lion cubs and four elephant cubs were reportedly crowd-pullers. In addition, there were various events, such as the current "Magical Tropical Lights", which attracted large numbers of people to the zoo.
