I read the reviews and almost skipped this place but gave it a go and thoroughly enjoyed it. I spent a full day exploring the place. Could easily and happily spend the day there from opening until closing.
The feeding times and shows were all on (except otters)
Signage in English was limited but not an issue.
Food and drink inside the place was somewhat expensive but there are nearby shops to stock up for the day.

The zoo was packed on a Saturday. The aquarium seemed like a after thought.
Definitely not worth a visit if you are on a tight schedule.
For such a large zoo, it seemed kinda empty ( animals wise)
For my students here you are able to get some discount just show your student card. Any card will do as long it has your face

My visit to Cologne Zoo in 2014 was an enjoyable and memorable experience that left me impressed with the wide variety of animals and the overall layout of the zoo. It offered a great day out for families and nature enthusiasts, but a few minor improvements could have made it an even better experience.
The diversity of animal species at the zoo was impressive, and I appreciated the efforts made to create natural and spacious enclosures for the animals. It was evident that the zoo's staff cared for the animals' well-being and conservation, which added to the experience.
The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the elephant enclosure. Watching these majestic creatures up close was a mesmerizing experience and one that I will cherish. Additionally, the tropical rainforest section was a treat, offering a glimpse into the lush habitats of various exotic species.
However, some areas of the zoo seemed slightly outdated and in need of renovation. The signage and information boards were not as informative or interactive as I would have liked, making it harder to fully understand the animals' backgrounds and conservation efforts.
Despite these minor drawbacks, Cologne Zoo is a commendable attraction, providing a fun and educational experience for visitors of all ages. With a bit of modernization and enhanced informational displays, it has the potential to become an even more exceptional destination for wildlife enthusiasts and families seeking a day of animal-filled adventure.

Very nice zoo, animals look like they are cared for with love. Only downside was that there were only 2 restaurants open in the zoo, with 30+ degrees. Would be better to have more places to be able to drink or sit with hot weather.
A really great zoo garden. There is a vast array of animal species housed within the zoo. Cologne Zoo boasts an impressive collection of wildlife from all around the world including reptiles and insects. The whole zoo is really well organized and pleasant to take a walk through. Easy to reach with public transport.
Great for a day's activity, lots of animals to see, including a petting zoo, an aquarium and insectarium.
Kids' playgrounds look good; there are restaurants (fast-food - not the best value for money) and vending machines.
So maybe pack a lunch & bring your own water/beverages if you don't want to spend more on food than the entry tickets for the day.
Friendly staff. Overall, would recommend.

started at 9am, left at 4:30pm. we got to see the sea lions being fed, then the meerkats, otters and raccoons. after, we watched the bird sky show. super happy with how much we got to see. plenty of animals and plants. recommend starting in the zoo to avoid afternoon crowds and then finish with the aquarium. if you're looking to validate your parking ticket, there is a green box opposite the ticket booth, it's on the left side when you enter the zoo gates.
The Zoo is huge, it will take you a few hours to visit it fully and see each animal that they have.
I personally am not a huge fan of animals kept in captivity, however, it could be seen that these animals were taken good care of, fed properly food, and kept in clean conditions at all times.
Make sure to check the live feeding times (it should be on their website) since you will get to see how they feed different animals such as their seals 🦭, live show of birds and even crocodiles 🐊.
Overall, had a good time with my girlfriend, we both recommend visiting it while around.
