Glad Zoo — Attraction in Vejen Municipality

As a family of three adult sisters plus our dad, one partner, and two kids aged 1 + 5 y/o - everyone had a good experience in Glad Zoo. Only downside was the very limited food options. The park has plenty of seating areas to enjoy lunches brought from home, which is what we did (after looking at the menu on their website).

We didn't try the café, but the ice-cream stand was fine (vegan ice cream available).

The feeding round was great fun and educational for all ages, and all the employees were friendly and helpful.

As another positive, there were different playgrounds throughout park.

Most of the animals are in enclosures, but you are allowed to feed the donkeys, the alpacas, the kangaroos, and the deer with snacks bought in the park's kiosks. In addition you could pet the approachable goats and the less eager sheep.

The animals didn't seem too stressed out and almost all of them had youngs, which were very cute.

All in all, we highly...

Glad Zoo er helt bestemt et sted man bør besøge med sine børn. De har både store og små dyr såvel som klappedyr. Derudover har de et fugleshow, hvor publikum bliver involveret. Priserne er helt OK og maden man kan købe her er også konkurrence dygtig.

Glad Zoo er både en dyrepark og et formidlingscenter. Vi synes dyrene og deres liv er spændende, og vi bestræber os på at dele vores viden og engagement med de besøgende.

Udover formidlingen til de besøgene, samarbejder Glad Zoo med folkeskolerne i lokalområdet. Der er også et tæt samarbejde med Glad Fagskole, hvor Glad Zoo indgår i uddannelsen af unge på den Særlig Tilrettelagte Ungdomsuddannelse (STU). Glad Zoo bidrager til uddannelserne gennem praktik- og læringsforløb og med mulighed for efterfølgende beskæftigelse i parken eller hos samarbejdspartnere. Glad Zoo rummer med dyrene, tilgangen og de forskellige arbejdsområder unikke muligheder for elever og ansatte på særlige vilkår. Samtidig tilfører elever og ansatte en værdi for de besøgende i Glad Zoo.

Glad Zoo indgår i et stort netværk af samarbejdspartnere. Som andre danske zoologiske haver, er Glad Zoo medlem af ISIS, hvor zoologiske haver verden over registrerer deres dyr. Glad Zoo arbejder desuden efter EAZA standarder. Det indebærer bl.a., at dyr byttes indbyrdes. Herudover deltager Glad Zoo i flere avlsprogrammer for truede...

Great place to spend the whole day with kids. We felt that the animals were good takencare of, and people working in there were professionals!!!!! We could touch and feed many animals as goats, sheep, rabbits, deers, etc..... animals had good space to run and move, which is really good to see. Glad Zoo is also a big playground, so it's perfect for kids to spend a day there😊 We also took our own food and had a picnic there. I highly...
