Tierpark Hagenbeck (Hagenbeck Zoo)

Tierpark Hagenbeck (Hagenbeck Zoo) Review

One of the country's oldest and most popular zoos is family-owned. Founded in 1907, it was the world's first zoo to let wild animals such as lions, elephants, chimpanzees, and others roam freely in vast, open-air corrals. In summer, you can ride a pony.

The Tropen-Aquarium sits on the same property as the zoo and a tour through it is like a trip around the world. Sea life, insects, curious reptiles, marvelous birds, and exotic mammals live in replicas of their natural habitat. Detailed re-creations of deserts, oceans, rain forests and jungles are home to birds, fish, mammals, insects, and reptiles from almost every continent, including a "Madagascar" village with black-tailed lemurs.
