We got annual passes to visit anytime we want. There are two sections. The large section has a Hippo, giraffes, etc. The other part has smaller animals, kids play ground (a ball pool for smaller kids), petting zoo, horse and camel rides. The only thing is the parking area gets really muddy if it rains. More

The Opel Zoo is a privately owned zoo north of Frankfurt and can be therefore easily reached by a lot of people. Parts of the zoo can be seen from outside withouth paying the entrance fee as it is situated along a public walkway. But spending the money to see everything is definitely worth it. It is a very nice... More

Went with kids (8 & 10) around 1pm, peak of winter, and still managed a good day out for all. Could have been cheaper, but ok as we saw a great deal of effort and investment going on the animals. All very friendly staff, keen to help my weak command of German. There is also a petting zoo, kids' attractions... More

Nice zoo located in a valley close to Frankfurt (20min drive). Tends to get really busy on weekends/nice weather. Great for families with kids (petting zoo, opportunity to feed animals, walk in the forest). Loads of different animals. Opportunity to eat (did not use it, so cannot say anything on that). Prices are okay (for a zoo). More

Terrible service, felt like my family with two kids was treated worse than animals there. Really bad customer service, personnel is not polite. If you have a small complaint, you will be treated worse than the animals they have. In terms of quality, nothing really special. Because of overabundance of sheep and goats, I felt more like at a farm,... More

We live just around the corner from the Opel Zoo and have been there several times. The last visit was with my family who had come from out of town to visit us, and they brought my nieces and nephews who ranged from 5 to 15 years old in age. My own daughter was almost 1, and all of them... More

My family moved to Kronberg for 6 Montserrat in this summer and we bought a season pass to the zoo. The zoo isnt huge but it has nice exhibits. My son can't get enough. He especially likes the petting zoo, feeding the goats, mini driving cars, and the playground. Definitely a nice convenient and fun location. More
