Visited Duisburg Germany for the weekend, and to my surprise the country still do not open shops or markets on a Sunday. This means we had to find an alternative way to spend our day, and noticed this beautiful Zoo. We choose to come here and I can say it did not disappoint at all! Its a huge, well maintained park with a lot of amenities to offer, to keep your child entertained and well fed during the day. Animal enclosures to very clean and properly looked after. We got a glimpse of practically all animals and on our way out even found a few more that we completely overlooked. A map at the entrance would not be such a bad idea, and having a parking a bit closer would have been amazing, but overall we had a wonderful visit! We even got to see baby pygmy hippopotamus named Panya which was a nice addition to our trip.

Having visited this zoo last year, safe to say it's held up, with a wonderful collection of both well-known zoo classics, like lions, bears, elephants and gorillas, and rarities like manatees, Tasmanian devils and echidnas. Don't miss this zoo, it's a great one!

Quite cool zoo. Positive: nice variety of animals. All are well fed and taken care. Surrounded by a green, natural and beautiful environment. The delfinarium is fun. You could see tigers, gorillas, giraffes, red pandas, elephants and many more. Toilets and restaurants are available. The price is not that bad. Negative: the parking is 1 km away, at least. You have to walk through a path that is next to a highway where cars go fast. It doesn't feel too convenient if you go with kids. The day fee is 5€ and you have to pay in cash at the entrance.

Ticket price is 20 Euro per adult including Dolphin Show. Various Animals and birds are available. Dolphin show was awesome. Enjoyed a lot.

We recently visited Duisburg Zoo, and overall, it was a great but mixed experience. 👍 What I Liked: The zoo features some unique animals you don’t usually see in other German zoos—like red panda, koalas, manatees, elephants, and even Tasmanian devils, which was a nice surprise. The layout is quite spacious and natural, with wooded surroundings and open paths. It felt more like a walk in the park with animal stops along the way. Big animals like elephants have enough space for themselves, and the zoo even mimics what's their real niche. They also have colourful aquariums with beautiful corals and farms. Great for families! There are playgrounds and picnic areas scattered around, making it easy to spend a full day with kids. For photography lovers, it’s a solid spot. Many enclosures offer good visibility without too much glare or obstruction. What Could Be Better: Some parts of the zoo feel a bit dated. A few enclosures could definitely use a facelift or renovation. I did have concerns about animal welfare, especially with the gorillas and elephants—some seemed anxious or restless. Great value for money and the highlight and the crowd pleaser is the Dolphin show. They have names like Delfin, Delfina, Daisy.. 🎟️ Practical Info: Entrance fee: ~€19.50 for adults, ~€11 for kids.
