Pangea Park — Attraction in Køge Municipality

My recent visit to Pangea Park in Denmark was nothing short of fantastic, especially with little ones in tow. This isn't just a zoo; it's a truly immersive experience designed with children's delight at its core. From the moment we stepped through the gates, a sense of wonder filled the air, with lush, naturalistic enclosures that really make you feel like you're stepping into the animals' own worlds. What truly sets Pangea Park apart is the incredible opportunity for close-up encounters with the animals. My kids were absolutely thrilled to be able to interact with many of the creatures, not just observe them from afar. The petting zoo was a huge hit, of course, with friendly goats and ponies eager for a gentle stroke. But it goes beyond that; imagine walking among kangaroos on the Australian plains, or seeing monkeys swinging right above your head in the tropical house. This hands-on approach sparked so much joy and curiosity in my children, creating memories that will undoubtedly last a lifetime. Beyond the amazing animal experiences, Pangea Park clearly prioritizes animal welfare and education. The staff were knowledgeable and passionate, happy to answer every curious question thrown their way. There are also brilliant playgrounds, providing ample space for kids to burn off energy between animal sightings. It’s clear that Pangea Park is more than an attraction; it’s a place where children can connect with nature, learn about different species, and develop a real appreciation for the animal kingdom in a fun, engaging, and utterly unforgettable way. We can't...

I had hoped from the reciews to find a mini Knuthenborg, but was disappointed.. Sure, the reptiles do not have the abysmally small conditions they do in Falster reptile park, and most of the animals if not the park itself look well cared for, But the foxes have much too little space (as do the big cats in Cph zoo), and the parrots cages are completely devoid of any toys or stimulation I could see, and struck me as way too small for these majestic animals, especially the big blue lonely one. I am aware most people think this is fine, many farm animals and pets lead much worse lives, however, for an animal park that sells itself on its very high standards and bills itself as a safari park, I was disappointed. I understand times are tough, and money probably scarce, it shows, but the park is on a big piece of land, so there is no excuse not to give at least the foxes and large birds more space. I give it two stars because the kids liked it, especially the surikats, which also had the biggest enclosure compared to their size and seemed happy, as did the big turtles, and the play ground was good, but if you want to see animals in a more natural environment, Id go to Knuthenborg or Ree park. Its a shame, cause Id love to support local initiatives, and its not expensive, but Id rather pay more and see animals have more space. Perhaps turning it into more of a petting zoo with local farm animals is a way forward? That I would...

The park is very small with a limited amount of animals, but offers the great advantage that you can get close to the animals and really see them. The absolute highlight is to go in and feed the marmosets. A small bowl of food costs 40 kroner, and at first I was slightly skeptical - but the marmosets do not devour it in seconds, so we had plenty time to pass the bowl between us and they are calm enough that my 5 year old (with guidance) could hold the bowl and have the marmosets on her arm and shoulders. Only problem is that they may not want to get off when you want out of the enclosure, so you just have to wait for them to jump back on their perches. Be aware that they can bite, but we had no issues despite them sitting right next to our ears (one did nibble on the handle of our backpack, so don't bring anything that can't handle a nipple). I would also recommend attending a show in the grotto, where we got to touch a snake, a young crocodile,...
