Wuppertal Zoo

A zoo with a garden setting and many attractions

A trip to Wuppertal Zoo is always worthwhile. Wuppertal Zoo is one of the oldest and most traditional zoos in Germany and is home to around 3,500 animals and 440 species. The 24-hectare park was the only zoo to be included in the European Garden Network. It owes this to the fact that the animal enclosures, outdoor facilities and buildings have been attractively integrated into the landscape, which is characterised by an old stock of trees. One of the absolute highlights is, without a doubt, the herd of elephants. There is almost always at least one baby elephant to marvel at. The large penguin enclosure features rare king penguins and allows visitors to observe the animals from a 15-metre-long underwater tunnel. Another visitor magnet is the lion enclosure. It is the largest of its kind in a German zoo and was modelled on the animals' natural habitat with great attention to detail.

The petting enclosure with goats, chickens and donkeys, as well as the numerous playgrounds including a water playground, are especially aimed at the zoo's young visitors. In the summer months, the Music Shell attracts visitors with garden concerts, and during the school holidays, Wuppertal Zoo offers an extensive entertainment and guided tour programme specially tailored to children. The zoo is open daily all year round and the prices are comparatively fair for what is on offer.
