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 However, some areas of the zoo seemed slightly outdated and in need of renovation.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.

This was one of the best zoos I have been. The enclosure for each species was tailored to their specific needs and actual habitat in the wild. It was also big enough for the animals to have fun. I did not see any individual who depicted a stereotypic behavior, such as pacing, a good indication that the zoo considers their animal welfare. More importantly, the zoo has supported a wide range of conservation programs, to support protection of the associated species in the wild. It is incredible! The zoo sets an example how the institution should be. My fav is the Asian and South American enclosures. It was my first time to experience such an open enclosures, where the animals were not in cage. The monkeys and birds run naturally above and below us. And visitors were respectful, no a single person tried to touch the animals. Inside was humid and hot, the true weather of the tropical rainforest. They also set up plants unique to the region. I am from Indonesia, and being in the Asian enclosure felt like home despite wearing a winter coat as it was cold outside. Nice and so much fun! The zoo was also very spacious, so eventhough there were so many people, we did not bump into each other. They provided playground for children and clean bathroom. Unfortunately we went on 24 December, so all the restaurants were closed.
