Duisburg Zoo

Between the big city and the Rhine, Duisburg Zoo immerses you in the fascinating world of around 9,000 animals from more than 400 species. Notorious pouched devils, cute koalas and cosy wombats cannot be observed in any other NRW zoo. Those who make it should plan their visit around the interactions between animals and keepers.

Located in the centre of Duisburg, Duisburg Zoo has around 9,000 animals from over 400 species to marvel at. The rare Tasmanian devils, which can only be seen in this zoo in Germany, are particularly exciting here, as are the cute koalas and cosy wombats. The enclosures are designed close to nature, so you can experience the Siberian tigers in an atmospheric environment.

In the Rio Negro tropical hall, you can meet the colourful inhabitants of South America. Small monkeys and sloths roam freely in the visitor area as if you were right in the middle of it all. Next door in the aquarium, colourful surgeonfish and bright corals provide a lively aquatic experience.

The gorilla area is also always worth a visit, where the young animals and the impressive silverback are active in their large enclosure. On the lemur island, you can see the calicoes up close, while a petting zoo, goats, sheep and mini cattle await the little ones on the farm.

The adventure playground offers plenty of fun and opportunities to run around, while the adjacent catering area invites you to take a short break. Duisburg Zoo combines exciting animal experiences with entertaining activities - ideal for explorers of all ages.
