LEGO Duplo Zoo
1990
LEGO DUPLO Zoo refers to both a range of discontinued sets released over several years and the numerous current DUPLO sets that feature animal and safari themes. These sets are designed for toddlers aged 1.5-5 years, focusing on imaginative play and skill development. Current Animal-Themed DUPLO Sets
While a dedicated "Zoo" theme is not a current, ongoing product line, The LEGO Group frequently releases sets featuring animals and exploration under the DUPLO Town and Wild Animals sub-themes.
Wild Animals of the World (10975): This large set includes 22 animals and covers all seven continents, with a focus on different environments like the African savannah, a forest river, and Antarctica. It is designed to introduce toddlers to global wildlife and ecosystems.
Jungle Explorer Helicopter at Base Camp (60437): While part of the LEGO City theme, a DUPLO-compatible animal set is available to explore the jungle with animal figures.
Wild Animals of Asia (10974): This set focuses on Asian wildlife, featuring a buildable environment with pandas, elephants, and monkeys.
Discontinued "Zoo" Sets
Over the years, The LEGO Group has released numerous specific "Zoo" sets that are now retired and only available on the secondary market. These sets are popular collector's items.
