Reviews






























Ganz toller und gepflegter Vogelpark, in dem man locker 3 Std verbringen kann. Richtig gut haben uns die Wellensittiche gefallen, die man füttern kann. Es gibt ein Geissen Gehege, aus dem büxen die Tierchen allerdings manchmal aus und fressen was ihnen unter die Nase kommt. Wir kommen gerne wieder.




Wir waren dort mit unserer Tochter und es war einfach klasse. Eine Vielzahl an Vögeln und anderen Tieren waren dort vertreten. Auch ist der Park sehr sauber und das Personal dort sehr freundlich. Beim Eintrittspreis, von 10,90 Euro kann man auch nicht meckern. Für einen spontanen Besuch echt sehr empfehlenswert.



This zoo is very large and definitely a great place to go with kids: besides great facilities to watch the animals, there's a large playground for kids and an area with friendly goats that children can pet.
My personal highlight was watching the seals swimming from a window to their pool, and the bats in the pavilion for night animals.

Schöner kleiner Vogelpark. Das Papageien Gehege und der Wellensittich Käfig sind sehr schön, die Papageien sitzen auf den Schultern der Besucher und die Wellensittiche essen einem aus der Hand. Gerade für Kinder sehr zu empfehlen.




Such a fun day. Awesome zoo to visit!!

I was not impressed. As a matter of fact, it made me sad to see beautiful dolphins in captivity. In a landlocked place, no less. The pool looks filthy, and to use the animals for the amusement of others is sick.









It was really nice, one of the best zoos. The arrangement and the amount of animals are really awesome. Penguin, Kangaroos we’re my favourite. The aquarium is outstanding one, really amazed by the quantity and quality of the demonstrations.









Loved this zoo had wonderful animals and they all looked pretty healthy! My favorite would have to be the young panda it was so cute! I also went to the aquarium as well. It was ok but the zoo is definitely worth it!





We visited on sunday so there was a line but we waited maybe only 10 minutes, you can also buy tickets online in advance and skip the waiting line.
13€ per adult ticket, which is a fair price considering size of the zoo and everything there is to see. Over 30 animals, playground for kids, coffee/ food / drinks stals all around the zoo,as well as a restaurant with a big terrace at the end. There are also toilets in every part of the zoo which is great. You can get maps at the entrance which will come in handy to be able to see which animals and which part of the zoo did you visit since it's so huge. Big enclorues, nice and clean, it's like a green oasis in the city. There is also a gift shop with reasonable prices.

Wonderful zoo and very big! Animals are kept in good conditions. My child and I only walked around two thirds of the zoo; we didn’t have enough strength to go further))
On the territory of the zoo there are children's playgrounds and a cafe.

Always love this place. You can meet a variety of different animal friends. Further more, it is located near Isar river with lots of hiking options.

Einer der besten Zoos in Deutschland. Immer ein Besuch wert.































What an amazing zoo! My teenage son and I spent 4 hours exploring the zoo and enjoyed it. We arrived right at opening time on a Saturday and it was not too busy. There are so many areas to walk and there is a playground for the kids as well!
10/10 would recommend visiting and spending a few hours there.
The gift shop and snack stands are great and reasonably priced. Tickets can be purchased online or in person.

It's amazing that such a large zoo can exist in the heart of a city. There were so many different animals to see, even after 4 hours I still missed some things. The zoo has a very pleasant cafe/restaurant area with good food and a really nice seating area. The zoo is pretty large so be prepared to walk. Also be aware that the aquarium next door is not part of the zoo and requires a separate admission. The zoo grounds are also very well kept and just as much worth looking at as the animals







If you're looking for an enjoyable outing, I highly suggest a visit to the aquarium. You can explore a variety of stunning sea creatures. The panda exhibit is a must-see as well. Whether you're with family or enjoying some solo time, it's a fantastic destination for any day of the week.


We had the best family time. In fact we saw two dolphin shows on the same day 🐬🐬🐬







Der Vogelpark war wirklich ein großartiger Ausflug! Die Vielfalt der Vögel und die wunderschöne Umgebung haben uns alle begeistert. Es war ein Riesenspaß für die ganze Familie und unsere Freunde. Die Vögel waren faszinierend anzusehen, und die Möglichkeit, einige von ihnen aus der Nähe zu beobachten, war ein Highlight. Die Parkanlage war sehr gepflegt, und es gab viele Informationsstände, die unser Wissen über die verschiedenen Vogelarten erweitert haben. Alles in allem kann ich den Vogelpark Heiligenkirchen uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Es ist ein Ort, den man definitiv besuchen sollte, wenn man die Natur und Vögel liebt!







Wunderschöner Vogelpark. Man kann den Tieren sehr nah kommen, da viele frei rum laufen. Das angebotene Essen ist nicht so teuer und sehr lecker. Es war ein sehr schöner lohnender Ausflug.













AWFUL ZOO!!! If anyone likes or loves animals - you shouldn't visit. In my opinion, it's ANIMAL ABUSE. The animals are in the worst conditions I've ever seen: small cages, not enough greenery if at all!!!! The monkeys are sitting on the concrete floor in a tiny cage, the rhinoceros' bones are seen through it's skin, he was so skinny. The food that was given to the monkeys was wheat. In order to be healthy, monkeys have to eat fruit and veggies. I am a person that loves animals, and I wanted to cry. I think animal rights organization has to be involved.




Brilliant Zoo and animals are wonderful but the facilities are very limited. Both with restaurants, food supply and definitely quality. The stale old food looks like it sits there precooked all day and is overpriced for what you get. Cold french fries precooked. It's probably best to bring your own food if you can. But overall the animals are lovely to see. I was surprised to see a live animal show with dancing seals and dolphins..these are banned now in Canada. But kids loved it.










You will need a whole day to explore this zoo 😆 but it was worth it. There are plenty of animals and plants that you can see. There is also a huge garden in the middle of the zoo. It it so beautiful.

The show was amazing! It looks like the animals have a great relationship with their trailer and they were very well fed. At the end of the show the team told us that if you don't want to get wet you better move to the back seats, that was great!




Really lovely place. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Amazing playground too!
One of the keepers allowed my children to hold a parrot which I thought was very kind of him. We will definitely go again in the future.

One should experience this atleast once in life. It's funny, exciting, and entertaining to watch. When I watched, there was a show with Seals before the Dolphin show. Thoroughly enjoyed. Kids will love this for sure. Good seating arrangement available, can be enjoyed as a Picknik spot with entertainment













This is a great zoo and worth the money. It's great to see the improvements being made. My children loved the dolphin show. The zoo is easy to navigate, being able to see the whole zoo easily in 5-6 hours.







Enjoyed time observing a beautiful Gorilla whom was very curious.
Their grounds are amazingly groomed and there is something to look at in every corner. The park is clean and the prices are so reasonable. Make the trip and don't forget to checkout all of the green houses and gardens

Huge and fun zoo… they have lots of animals and different kinds of plants too… beautifully arranged and cute themed playground on every section…





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.

A fabulous 175 years old zoo! Elephants, giraffes, lions, pandas, flamingoes and many more animals in a lovely place full of trees with the best playground! You will need at least 3-4 hours to explore the zoo. The aquarium is also worth a visit. 1 hour should do for it.







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

We were there during the Sommer holidays in a weekday, there was a very long queue to get in, but you can easily avoid this by buying your tickets online.
Some parts/ enclosures of the Zoo are rund down, I found the inside enclosure of the rhino 🦏 very depressing, but in general is great. With a toddler (2,7 years) and a baby we didn't managed to see the whole place, is quite big specially if you spend almost two hours in the monkeys compound, we specially loved the chimpanzeen, there was a baby, extrem sweet!
There is a good diversity of animals, they don't have elefants, something that we missed.
They have as well a very small pet zoo with goats.
The place is 100% accesible with baby strollers and wheelchairs.
There are big und small kiosks scattered to get drinks, ice cream, crepes and other refreshments, but you can bring your own food/ drinks and seat wherever you find place.
All in all a great place to expend the day with kids.

One of thr most beautiful zoo i was to. Very big, animals have a very good life.
You have to attend the demonstrations made by the zoo keepers there!

Visiting Berlin's Zoo was an unforgettable experience, marked by well-maintained surroundings and thoughtfully designed enclosures. The premises radiate care and attention to detail, with animal welfare evidently being a top priority. The animals seemed comfortable, and it was heartwarming to see that no animal appeared to be suffering.
At a price of 20€ for a ticket (excluding the Aquarium), the experience was totally worth it. We spent nearly four hours exploring, even though we skipped some of the lesser attractions and focused on the more exotic ones like Giant Pandas, Tigers, Elephants, Gorillas, Orangutans, Malayan Sun Bears, Penguins, Anteaters and Rhinoceros. The time flew by as we immersed ourselves in the sights and sounds of these magnificent creatures.
The outdoor King Penguins were a particular delight, though a word of caution: the inside area had a noticeable stink, so be prepared.
The aesthetic appeal of the zoo was enhanced by statues scattered around, offering great photo opportunities. And the petting area, where you can interact with goats and sheep, was an absolute must-visit; a joy for both children and adults alike.
In conclusion, Berlin's Zoo is an enriching experience, worth every cent and minute spent. Whether you're an animal lover or just looking for a day of fun, it offers something for everyone.

Nice place, worth a visit. Great combination between animals and attractions. You can easy spend the whole day with your children there. Definitely will be visiting next year again!






One of the best zoos we have ever been too.
It is clear that the animals are very well cared for. They were healthy with spaces very well adapted to their needs. The spaces are also big enough, what you don’t always see in a zoo in a big city.
There was a big variety of species, some of which are not easy to see in Europe.
The baby meerkats are the cutest thing you have ever seen!! The polar bears were very impressive as well.
And this for a very good entry price.
For families you also have two petting zoos and a lot of playgrounds.
Only the souvenirs were quite expensive, but that compensates for the lower entry price.
I would definitely recommend a visit, certainly with children (but adults will love it too).

Very nice and intensive place to go at. It is a huuuuge Zoo where you can spent easily three hours plus at (and even more with kids). Sometimes you may have waiting lines for certain areas, but this is rather seldom within the week. You have to opportunity to buy snacks, ice and drinks and (if you want) on the other end of the zoo is a restaurant. There are many places to sit and I would recommend to take a blanket with you to sit on the grass. I really liked it to be there, but to go without water or something to eat in between I wouldn't recommend. Nice zoo, good prices (two persons, kid and adult for roundabout 25 euros) and lots of stuff to see. Go for it! 😉














Well designed and lot of open spaces to the animals. We stayed there for 6 hours and have to rush through to complete all areas.
They do have a sea lion show but it was OK, not the best of the shows.
Still, a good place to spend a day with family.

Als die Kinder klein waren hat es mir noch sehr gut gefallen, das letzte Mal waren wir sehr enttäuscht. Die Papageien sind jetzt leider überdacht. Ansonsten kann ich es gar nicht genau sagen warum wir es nicht so toll fanden. Ist sehr klein. Aber mit kleinen Kindern bestimmt immer noch nett









Unexpectedly this is a really good zoo. It has lot of species and has a great funfilled sea lion show.
We spent a full day here and enjoyed very much. Although one must be prepared to do lot of uphill-downhill which makes you tired.
We attended few feeding sessions and except for Penguin and Sea lion, rest were average.

Beautiful park and well organized zoo. I loved the atmosphere there. I hope some of the animals had a bigger area to roam around though, especially the fishes and the reptiles.





Impressive selection of animals! Super beautiful park and view points. Various selection of food and snacks.
Very clean and easy wide space. Very happy with the visit today!

A good place to spend a day with family.
Safari Land offers ca. 10-15 minute Safari experience (we went with our own car). After that a fun amusement park awaits. There is a wide variety of options, for different age people. Both a two year old and a grown up can find something to do. There is shows going on (for example a circus show with dedicated artists which brought fun to children).
We spent around six hours there and all of them were enjoyable.
Yes, the park is not huge and yes, it is definitely not new, but that doesn’t mean it can’t provide you a fun day.
The food was good, coffee was tasty. Toilets were quite clean, had both paper and soap.
Definitely worth visiting.
Ps we visited this park on a rainy day. Durning rain some of the rides had to close (the ones who were not under roof). After the rain stopped they started to allow people riding it again.

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.

My visit to Frankfurt Zoo in 2014 was an exceptional experience that left me thoroughly impressed and delighted. This zoo is a true gem, offering a perfect blend of conservation, education, and entertainment for visitors of all ages.
The wide variety of animal species and the well-designed enclosures created an immersive and authentic experience. It was evident that the zoo's focus on animal welfare and conservation was a top priority, as the animals seemed content and well-cared for in their naturalistic habitats.
One of the highlights was the Grzimek House, where I had the incredible opportunity to witness a vibrant ecosystem with free-flying birds, wandering reptiles, and curious mammals living together harmoniously. This unique exhibit was a fantastic educational experience that showcased the interconnectedness of different species.
The zoo's dedication to education was evident through informative signage and interactive displays, allowing visitors to learn about the animals' behaviors, habitats, and the importance of conservation efforts. Additionally, the friendly and knowledgeable staff was readily available to answer questions and share their passion for wildlife.
The family-friendly atmosphere, including playgrounds and picnic areas, made it a great place for a day of fun and exploration. The zoo's convenient location in the heart of Frankfurt also added to the overall convenience of the visit.
Frankfurt Zoo truly exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city. It's a place where both children and adults can connect with nature and wildlife, fostering a sense of appreciation for the natural world and the need for its preservation. A five-star experience all the way!

The biggest zoo ever I’ve been to. They have a quite huge variety of animals. Tropen-Aquarium is nice to have but not necessary if you’re not interested in reptiles. It’s quite crowded in the afternoon, so I would recommend to get there before 10am if you want to have more room.




The spaces available for the brown bear, polar bear, tiger and lion to move around is absolutely SMALL!! Yet, they build an enormous space for Guinea pigs?? I wouldn’t visit again. You could see the animals pacing here and there. There’s a need to recognise the mental distress cause to the animals due to small area to move around, in consideration of the typical amount of space they move around in the wild. This also applies to the orang utan. It’s HORRIFYING seeing such limited amount of space they are able to move around. Imagine sticking at the zoo day after day, year after year. The tiger and brown bear looks absolutely skinny. With the rest of the animals above mentioned having poor skin and fur conditions. I doubt the animals are well taken care off.


Dolphinarium is very nice, the performance of dolphins and sea lions was very nice.









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 nice zoo and garden! A great day with the kids. Lots of walking but well worth the effort. The map was super helpful! The penguin feeding is at 1430 and sea lion approx 1515-1530










I really like this place. I know locking animals is so wrong but here they are almost free. Daycare is so so gut, the garden they have so wide, it seems everything is on the way. You should see the monkeys nests. It is so big and they have a lot of trees. Must seen..









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.





NO CAPYBARAS 🥲
Tierpark Hagenbeck Zoo is a large and clean zoo with a diverse range of animals. However, the price of admission is very high It's unfortunate to see small enclosures for big animals like bears, jaguars, and elephants. On the positive side, there is ample space for flamingos, bunnies, guinea pigs, alpacas, and other animals to freely move around. It's distressing to see many birds confined in small cages. The most disappointing aspect was that I couldn’t find capybaras (I spent a lot of time searching for them) despite reading reviews about them.

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.

A vast and diverse zoo with hundreds of animal and plant species. We spent 5 hours inside it and there's a nice restaurant too.
If you plan accordingly, you can view the animals during their feeding time.
Note: Pets are not allowed inside.

We visited last month and comparing to the expensive price it was a big disappointment.. Few Animals present and no elephant, no Giraffe, no Panda or any real exciting animal for kids. The lion and tigers were seen distressed and hidden. It was a very big beautiful park but a little disappointed regarding the animals we wished to see!! Aquarium costed extra if you want to go there which we skipped.
Next day we decided to visit the Safari few km outside Hamburg and there we had much more fun seeing the animals so close to our own car and could interact with them👍 Its better to go to Safari than spending money here if you wish to see unusual animals otherwise if you just want to spent a whole day 4-5 hrs with kids and no big expectations, then you can choose this zoo.

It’s nothing for a bucket list to be honest.
€13 for adults.
Less than 5 mins waiting time at the ticket counter. Did the cashiers forget to smile and be friendly?
Post lunch hours means the big cats sleep. But, where did the lions and penguins disappear? Oh sorry! The renovation as usual!
Full marks on cleanliness!
Nothing for the hype!

Always such a fun show to watch, kids love it. I love it.
Those who go on a hot day, highly recommend you sit in the first couple of rows!

Best Zoo we have ever been to. So wonderful and best designs for animals as well as for visitors . Love it and definitely a must visit! ❤️❤️🌻🌷🐝🌼🌞🇩🇪






Must visit zoo with family and kids






Nice place with animals and a lot of entertainment for kids. The way goes via wild animals,where they live and it is possible to watch them from the car. Never seen that before. Really fantastic! Price for 1 adult and kid was around 55€. Plan for this place the whole day,cause you can eat and layon the grass if needed.







Wonderful zoo. Very peaceful and tranquil. Beautifully laid out. I had a very enjoyable afternoon here with my ten year old daughter. Highly recommended. Not too big and not too small.

Eigentlich haben wir immer gerne diesen Zoo besucht, aber ich muss sagen ich war sehr negativ überrascht wie ungepflegt aktuell vorallem die wasseranlagen aussehen. Von den Seelöwen bis hin zu den minni Aquarien mit guppies war eigentlich alles völlig zugealgt. Desweiteren waren sehr wenige von den Tieren zu sehen oder wegen Umbau nicht da. Für uns sehr schade da wir 45 Minuten fahrtweg haben.




Impressive fish species





















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.
















If you are going here by car - you must go right before they open in order to get a parking space. The parking that is there is pretty affordable but we initially came on a Saturday afternoon and they had shut all the lots down and there was no street parking for miles around. We came back the next morning and had no problem getting a spot.
With that hiccup and plan change out of the way, the rest of our experience was lovely. The exhibits are great. You can rent a wagon for €5 which saved us from having to use a stroller.
The food here is great and pretty affordable as well. The kids loved the petting zoo. There are lots of playgrounds around the park as well.

One of the greatest zoos we've ever been. The animals are in natural habitat. Lots of species. In the begging child could interact with goats. The playgrounds are fantastic. Lots of places to eat allover the place. There are enough toilets which are clean. Overall a must if you are in Munich especially if you are with kids.





















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.

Really really expensive - €29 & I did it all in 4 hours. I didn't buy any food in there because it was extortionate as well. Over 70 different animals. It's flat so easily walked round (there's a cool place to climb up for a high vantage though). I particularly enjoyed the Ice World. I can really relate to those walruses 🤣 and the penguins are delightful. Not much is written in English though and I'd no internet for translating. The orangutans & otters together also captivated me for ages. An elephant touched my hand with her trunk 🐘😍 and the mandrill's bottom is like a beautiful 🌈










Aquarium is quite small but nice. In the beginning it was more like a museum than aquarium, but later on it got better. It is definitely too expansive for what it has to offer. Hence the three stars.
There was only one ray and one sea turtle. The bird section is quite nice, kids really enjoyed it.
2 adults with 2 kids costs 50€, that’s in our opinion too much for what it has to offer.

A good environment for the animals 🙏🏾
Loved it there, I saw a lot of animals that I never seen before, the atmosphere is nice and it was a sunny day, so everything was perfect.
The ticket costs 18 euros for adults, and it’s cheaper for kids ( i don’t know how much exactly)
The restaurants inside are somehow overpriced, so it’s better if you get something with you to drink or some snacks to eat.

ein Super sauberer Zoo. Die Tiere sehr gepflegt

It's very small, people working at the cashier are absolutely not friendly. The prices are really outrageous....
The beach area is a disaster....here you see when there is no one who cares...

This aquarium is absolutely brilliant. Visited with my husband, sister, brother in law and nephew on a visit from Australia and it was a real highlight! Positioned next to the North Sea with a cafe attached that has a panaromic view while you eat, this is a must visit! Staff lovely and the gift shop was wonderful.







It is Awesome ... Must visit. I recommend it to everyone.
It is famous for being the first zoo to use open enclosures surrounded by moats, rather than barred cages, to better simulate animals' natural environments.
The Tierpark Hagenbeck has almost 1,400 individuals from all continents who have found a home in the vast enclosures and the lovely, botanically rich park. A variety of young animals, including Hippo, Lion, pampas hares, mandrills, and Barbary newborn babies, can currently be observed. The baby elephants are a particular highlight.
A trip to the Arctic Ocean, where animals from the North and South Poles can be seen, is also an unforgettable experience. A breathtaking underwater perspective provides an excellent picture of polar bears and fur seals. In addition, the walrus will greet you with his on-going activities."

Diesmal am Wochenende dort gewesen, war klar dass es am Sonntag richtig voll ist. Wir hatten trotzdem unseren Spaß und er alles wie gewohnt sauber und ordentlich. Die Tierpfleger/innen sind auch alle sehr nett und machen eine gute Arbeit. Für Kinder sind die Papageien und Wellensittiche die Highlights in dem Park. Kann ich uneingeschränkt jemand einen Ausflug dort hin empfehlen 👍





Amazing opportunity to see something amazing. Everything is clean, nice, lots of toilets. Food is quite expensive but still reasonable 😃 perfect place for adventure with children.








Absolutely amazing show with fun for everyone. Choose your seat wisely though or you could end up with more than you bargained for.






One of the best places in Europa to see real dolphins. There are several presentations each day, where live presentations are held. Amazing tricks are shown and explained. Perfect for children to see real dolphins in action. There is also an underwater part, where you can see the dolphins from the bottom of the water tank.









































A very good place for children. All attractions inside the park are free. There are several toilets in the park. I added a photo of the map and ticket prices. It is better to arrive as early as possible in order to have time to see and try everything.








Small but beautiful under water life. We were lucky to see the sea dogs display. Beautiful place





I really enjoyed walking around this zoo in the nice weather this week, and the animals seemed happy overall. I would highly recommend checking out the night time exhibit under the tigers and other cats along with the panda exhibit! The aquarium is definitely worth a visit to check out the jellyfish too!












One of the main attraction of Duisburg Zoo is the Delfinarium (for Dolphin show). There is no separate ticket for entering Delfinarium and is included in the Zoo ticket. Infact, there is no one to check your ticket as well and you can watch all shows of the day. Generally there are 3 shows everyday, sometimes number of shows are increased by 1 or 2.
The show lasts 40-45 minutes, but to get a better place, one should get in there 15-20 minutes before the show starts. Before the show starts, one can have a closure look at Dolphins in the pool from the walking ramp with glass walls of the pool. Once the show starts, jaws easily gets dropped by the actions performed by Dolphins. Front seaters (two rows) are drenched with water splashed by Dolphins as the last activity before they return to deep waters.
It is a highly recommended stop-point in Duisburg Zoo.

For what seems like a small building they do really pack a lot in for you to see! There are lots of things to look at including a whole room with fossils and creatures that haven't evolved much (like horseshoe crabs). The seal tank was a favorite as you can see the seals swim against the glass and then go to the top of the aquarium and see them from the top playing in the water. Our whole family enjoyed it and already our children are asking when we can go again.



















































Had only few animals. But it brings the feel of visiting a African Safari. Probably we can say it is a mini version. Amusement park with a lot of activities for all ages will keep you entertained for the rest of the day. Nice place to spend a day with family and friends.







A very good place to go with children. In beginning threre is a slow ride through safari park. Later You can spend all day enjoying amusement park. Lots of different rides!





Although the price was a little steep, they do have quite a large selection. The place was clean and the animals seem like they are well taken cared for.







This zoo is one of the best... Plenty of space , animals are not held behind electrics fences... Also products and services in the zoo are not that overpriced and I really like that







Worth the 32£ to discover and see all these kinds of animals. Clean, well set, friendly staff, place. Good for families with kids.
Here, free parking, free games riding and you can get variety options of food and yet you can make your own grills.
We had so much fun
Enjoy it guys.

We enjoyed the dolphin show, also the rest of the zoo was nice and clean. There are bronze statues of the animals near their pens, which is a nice detail. However, some of the animals looked terribly skinny. I hope they are feeding them properly.
The zoo is a bit far away from the city, nevertheless it is possible to reach it by bus number 43 and 45.

It was a fun experience on that Sunday morning for us. The aquarium wasn't crowded we could spent lot of time at each station. Luckily we got to see the SeeHunde show where the feed them, play some games like rings & football,etc. Penguins, also, are very cute ! Only 1 drawback is the information is not in english so we could not understand most of it, otherwise overall experience was good !
