Indoor playground & Co
New adventure world moves into Haag Zoo
Indoor playground, museum, gastronomy: a total of three million euros is being invested in the expansion. The Austrian army, on the other hand, has taken on an animal sponsorship with the leopard.
With 275,000 guests, Haag Zoo set a new record last year. To ensure that this will soon be history again, investments are being made in one of the biggest visitor magnets in the Mostviertel region. Three million euros are being invested in the construction of an adventure world. The former farmyard will be partially demolished and replaced by a new building. This will house a 450 square meter indoor playground.
This will attract more visitors in the fall and winter. Not just to see the animals, but also to visit the playground.

The Mostviertel Museum, founded in 1969, is also moving from the city center to the zoo. The new location should not only make it more modern and interactive, but also attract significantly more visitors than the previous 250 or so per year. A new catering area and a multimedia room will also be built.
Ideas for this major investment in the zoo have been in the pipeline for around six years. However, thanks to a cooperation with the 2026 State Exhibition in nearby Mauer, these plans have now been fleshed out. Detailed planning is currently underway and work on the conversion is due to start this winter.
A leopard for all military cases
The tank battalion of the Austrian Armed Forces showed a heart for animals: with a sponsorship for the Chinese leopard at Haag Zoo, the commitment to species protection is writ large. Like its four-legged representative, a battle tank also "listens" to this animal name, as Commander Colonel Jörg Loidolt, Major Stephan Länglacher and Captain Markus Hinteregger explained during their visit to the enclosure.
