Belfast Zoo is a public zoo located in the north of Belfast, Northern Ireland. The zoo opened in 1934 and has been providing visitors with the opportunity to see a wide range of animals from all over the world ever since.

The zoo is set on 55 acres of landscaped gardens and woodland, and is home to over 130 species of animals. These include many endangered and rare species such as the Amur tiger, the Sumatran tiger, the Rothschild's giraffe, the western lowland gorilla, and the red panda. There are also many other species of mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish, as well as a range of invertebrates.

In addition to the animal exhibits, the zoo also offers a number of other attractions and facilities. These include a children's play area, a restaurant, a gift shop, and a safari bus tour that takes visitors around the zoo. The zoo also offers a range of educational programs and activities for school groups, including guided tours and workshops.

One of the main aims of Belfast Zoo is to promote conservation and the protection of endangered species. The zoo is involved in a number of conservation projects both locally and internationally, and works closely with other zoos and conservation organizations to help protect animals and their habitats around the world.
