Wonderful Day at Munich Zoo (Tierpark Hellabrunn)
Our visit to Tierpark Hellabrunn, the Munich Zoo, was an absolute delight, despite the rainy weather. Situated along the scenic banks of the Isar River, this zoo offers a fantastic experience for visitors of all ages.
One of the highlights of the zoo is its innovative "Geo-zoo" concept, where animals are grouped according to their geographic origins. This setup not only provides an educational experience but also allows for beautifully designed, naturalistic habitats that enhance the animals' well-being.
We were particularly impressed by the variety of animals and the spacious, well-maintained enclosures. From the majestic elephants and playful monkeys to the captivating big cats and colorful birds, every exhibit was a joy to explore. The zoo’s efforts in conservation and education were evident throughout our visit, with informative displays and interactive experiences.
Despite the rain, we had a wonderful time exploring the zoo. The park’s layout ensured that we could enjoy many exhibits under cover, and the vibrant atmosphere made the weather an afterthought.
The zoo also offers plenty of amenities, including clean restrooms, a variety of food options, and numerous play areas for children. The on-site restaurant serves good meals for fair money, providing a nice break with delicious options to refuel.
Overall, Tierpark Hellabrunn is a must-visit attraction in Munich. It’s a perfect outing for families, couples, and animal lovers alike. We left with lasting memories and a greater appreciation for wildlife...

Visiting Hellabrunn Zoo in Munich was a truly unforgettable experience for my family and me, going far beyond typical zoo visits. This "geo-zoo," as they call themselves, offers a unique approach to showcasing animals, as they are arranged by continent. This allows for a journey through the animal kingdom of the entire world in a single afternoon. It's not just a viewing; it's a true expedition!
I was impressed by the vastness and impeccable organization of the zoo. The animals have plenty of space, creating a feeling that they are in their natural habitat, rather than in cages. I was particularly captivated by the polar bears, freely moving in their pool, and the majestic lions and elephants, which were wonderfully presented. The children were completely engrossed by the interactive stations and the opportunity to observe the animals up close.
In addition to its impressive collection of animals, Hellabrunn also offers numerous resting spots, beautifully maintained green areas, and playgrounds that ensure a full day of fun. The atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant, suitable for visitors of all ages. The cleanliness and attention to detail are evident at every turn.
Hellabrunn is not just a zoo, but an educational center and a recreational space that completely disconnects you from everyday life. I highly recommend this destination to all animal and nature lovers – we will definitely...
Read moreOur visit to the zoo yesterday was a mix of wonderful and terrible. The zoo itself is lovely and perfect for kids, but our experience was unfortunately overshadowed by an incredibly rude encounter with an employee at the Flamingo Entrance number 1. We arrived with our 4-year-old son and his small, foldable scooter( “ scoot and ride”), which fits easily into a bag. We've brought it before without any problems. When I attempted to enter after folding the scooter and placing it in my shoulder bag, the employee not only told me I couldn't bring it in but then left her station to confront me again as I was trying to disassemble it further. Her aggressive tone and insistence that I leave the unlocked scooter outside was shocking and unnecessary. The whole situation left my son crying and completely soured the beginning of our day. While I understand the rule about scooters, it's hard to understand why an employee would be so aggressive about an item that was fully contained in a bag!!!. It was a really disappointing and unprofessional interaction. Since when it’s necessary to look inside my bag?? To summarize, we disassembled it and went inside from...
