Horrendous and devastating Oct 2022 • Not reading the reviews before our spontaneous visit was a bad mistake. To clear up beforehand: as a biology student I am totally fascinated by animals, especially reptiles and amphibians, so I know at least quite a bit about them- I was excited to see them. But the visit left me completely devastated. Starting with the predators exhibit (which was by far the worst) bigger sharks and crocodiles/alligators are being kept in way too tiny enclosures, allowing the (i think it was) a nile crocodile which was at least 4 meters long hardly to move around in a tank not more than twice the size of the crocodile itself. Besides its habitat was completely made out of concrete, no plants or natural materials to be seen. Moving along to the big tigersand sharks- two of them swimming apathetically round for round in their mini enclosure, both tilted to the side- the third of them was barley moving at all (see the pictures of other reviews). Very tiny and trieste looking enclosures all over the place. Info signs about fish in the tanks saying the usually live in big groups, but only one or two fish per species to be seen. Moving on the aquarium and the tropicarium exhibit, all I just wrote counts for it as well. Many of the enclosures were just not fitting for the kind of animals that are being kept in them. Eg.: a chameleon, which spends most of its life up in the trees and bigger bushes is sitting in a 1,30m long but only 80 cm high terrarium- how can this be appropriate? Besides the fact that after I spent quite a while looking for it I’m pretty sure I found it dead- eyes invaded, barely hanging on to the branch it was supposed to be sitting on ( I once had one myself, they don’t look like that while they are asleep). Leopard geckos, which can climb a little but spent most of their time on and between rocks on the ground sitting in a enclosure with 30x30 cm floor ground?! Barely able to move around as well. The snake habitats were dirty as hell, masses of excrements floating in their small water puddles, leaving the water completely cloudy and yellow. Species from south and North America, whose would never meet eachother in the wild sitting together in enclosures- how shall this benefit them? Several kinds of geckos in, as mentioned so many times before, way too small enclosures, absolutely not fitting for their natural conditions- does this look or sound like a good and happy life to anyone? The three Penguins, who are naturally living in big colonies, are sitting widely apart from oneanother looking apathic and bored as well… Besides the horrific conditions these animals live in, the whole area is very dirty, dark and looks like it has been abandoned 10 years ago. 20 € entrance fee per person is also a wrecker- thinking of what the trpoicarium provides. To sum it up, please do not visit this poorly managed place of devastation as it just spends them the money...

Read more⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A very well-designed and well-maintained place! 😊 You can explore three different halls along a guided path, so you won’t miss anything. I visited in August on a weekday morning, and luckily it wasn’t crowded – perfect for a family outing with children.
The animals include sharks, turtles, exotic reptiles, and colorful tropical fish. Each hall has interactive games and eye-catching, easy-to-understand educational boards that help you learn more about the natural world. Fun fact: a shark’s skin is actually covered with tiny, tooth-like scales, which help them swim faster by reducing water resistance. 🦈
One of the highlights is that you don’t just get to see the animals, but also learn about them – for example, why a turtle can stay underwater for hours (thanks to their slow metabolism and unique ways of absorbing oxygen).
Overall, it’s an enjoyable, visually impressive, and educational program – great for visiting with...
