The Wuppertaler Zoo offers a truly enjoyable experience for visitors of all ages, especially families with young children. Nestled in a beautifully green and lush landscape, the zoo is surrounded by dense vegetation that creates a peaceful, almost park-like atmosphere. The natural environment enhances the overall experience and makes for a pleasant day outdoors.

The variety of animals is impressive, ranging from native European species to exotic creatures. While the zoo does boast a considerable selection, I did notice that some iconic African wildlife such as giraffes were missing, which might be a minor letdown for visitors hoping for a complete “safari” experience. Nevertheless, the animals that are present are housed in thoughtfully designed enclosures.

Among the highlights: • The ape enclosure is particularly engaging, offering good visibility and space for the animals to display natural behaviors. • The elephant habitat is well-maintained and spacious, with a layout that allows for good viewing without disturbing the animals. • The penguin enclosure deserves a special mention for its well-crafted and immersive design, which simulates their natural environment effectively.

Children are especially well catered for at Wuppertaler Zoo. The petting zoo, home to friendly goats and donkeys, is a delightful and interactive area for kids. There are also several playgrounds scattered throughout the zoo, which provide fun breaks between animal exhibits and allow younger visitors to burn off energy.

There is an on-site restaurant, which offers a decent selection of meals and refreshments. The food is of good quality, but it is slightly on the expensive side, so budget-conscious visitors may wish to plan accordingly.

Overall, the Wuppertaler Zoo provides a relaxing and enriching outing, especially for families. The combination of nature, education, and play makes it a destination well...

Nettes Familienausflugsziel.

Die Tiger taten mir echt Leid, auch wenn ihr Gehege vielleicht sogar größer als in anderen Zoos war. Aber einen Tiger kann man in Gefangenschaft kaum artgerecht halten.

Positiv finde ich, dass es dort kein Delfinarium gibt. Ansonsten kann ich auch nichts Negatives sagen. Das Freifluggehege der Aras (Aralandia) ist ganz hübsch und Tierpfleger achten darauf, dass die Tiere nicht angefasst werden und ihre Ruhe haben. Daher wirkten die Tiere recht entspannt. Auch im Streichelzoo hatten die Ziegen Ruhezonen und durch einen für die Besucher unzugänglichen Stall, die Möglichkeit sich den Besuchern zu entziehen. Gut finde ich auch, dass es für Besucher kein Ziegenfutter zu kaufen gibt, so dass die Ziegen, wie in manchen anderen Zoos völlig überfüttert sind. Stattdessen können sich Kinder hier Bürsten leihen mit denen sie das Fell der Ziegen ausbürsten können. Außerdem können die Kinder kleine Schubkarren, Schaufeln und Besen leihen, so dass sie einen kleinen Eindruck davon bekommen können welche Arbeiten auf einen zukommen wenn man sich ein Haustier zulegt. Ich muss sagen, das Konzept scheint aufzugehen. Ich habe noch nie so einen sauberen Streichelzoo gesehen.

Das Auqarium und Terrarium ist ganz nett, wobei ich allerdings bessere gesehen habe.

Kiosk und Souvenir Shop sind natürlich teuer, aber das ist ja immer so. Bei den zu kaufenden Souvenirs und Kuscheltieren trifft man auf die üblichen Verdächtigen. Bis auf einer männlichen und einer weiblichen Harpie, die ich mir als Kuscheltiersammlerin am liebsten gekauft hätte, waren sie eher langweilig.

Die Spielplätze, die ich gesehen habe, sind eher für kleinere Kinder. Trotzdem hat sich mein Sohn (10 Jahre) in den vier Stunden die wir da waren nicht eine einzige Minute gelangweilt.

Alles in allem ein gelungenes Konzept bei dem, dank Wegweisern und Karte (gibt es auf Anfrage, kosten 50 Cent extra) die gewünschten Tiere recht schnell zu finden sind. Eine Karte muss man nicht unbedingt kaufen, da sie in regelmäßigen Abständen in Großformat aufgestellt sind. Das kann man sich gerne alle paar Jahre mal anschauen, vor allem, da ein kostenloser Besuch des Grüne Zoos im RUHRTOPCARD-Angebot...

The zoo is really nice. The animals are obviously doing well and the enclosures are in most cases spacious and species-appropriate. There are a couple of nice playgrounds for children. However, it is important to know that the zoo is located on a slope and that it goes steadily up and downhill. There are plenty of places to take a break. You won't find any tables for a small picnic. The only real point of criticism is the parking lot situation. Because it is catastrophic. The parking lot at the zoo is much too small and the parking spaces are so narrow that many stand over the markings and thus vehicles get lost parking spaces. Finding a parking space in the many one-way streets around the zoo becomes...
