Tierpark Goldau

This wild animal park, southwest of Zug in the shadow of Mt. Rigi, has has a very natural setting, so it feels more like a walk in the woods than a zoo. Deer and rams roam freely and vending machines throughout the park sell boxes of animal food so you can feed the animals. The bear exhibit is a big draw, though they aren’t always active.
