Zoo Duisburg is one of Germany’s most beloved zoos, beautifully located in a forested park on the hills of Duisburg. Home to over 5,000 animals from around the world, with habitats designed to reflect their natural environments, the zoo offers an engaging experience for all ages.

A major highlight is the koala enclosure – Duisburg was the first zoo in Europe to keep koalas and remains one of the few places where you can observe them up close. The dolphinarium is also well-known, where bottlenose dolphins take part in educational demonstrations that promote awareness and conservation.

Other must-sees include the Chinese garden with red pandas, the tropical house with birds and reptiles, the rainforest pavilion, and the river landscape with otters, capybaras, and beavers. Each area is carefully planned to resemble the animals’ original habitats.

For children, the zoo is full of excitement: large playgrounds, a petting farm, pony rides, and feeding shows create an interactive and educational adventure. Throughout the park, you’ll find information panels and hands-on exhibits that explain animal life in a fun, accessible way.

Zoo Duisburg actively participates in international breeding programs for endangered species and supports conservation efforts across the globe. Education and sustainability are at the heart of its mission.

The facilities are modern and family-friendly, with wide pathways, seating areas, restaurants, snack bars, and a gift shop. The entire zoo is accessible to strollers and wheelchairs.

Conveniently located near highways A3 and A59, and well connected by public transport, the zoo is easy to reach. Whether for a family outing, school field trip, or group adventure, it’s a perfect day trip.

If you love animals, nature, and hands-on learning, Zoo Duisburg offers a mix of wonder, relaxation, and discovery.

Come face to face with wildlife – in a zoo that informs, entertains, and inspires.
