I was surprised at the size of the cages, the selection of animals and the dolphin show. The grounds are beautiful, the animals are well taken care of and the food is good. More

We have been to many zoos across this planet, and this one rated slightly above average. This isn't to say it was bad, as most of the zoos we've toured are fairly good. We used to live near the Henry Doorley Zoo in Omaha, NE; the North Carolina Zoo outside Asheboro, NC; we visit the Monterrey Bay Aquarium often, been... More

Nuremberg Zoo is wondefully located in an old sandstone quarry. It covers a large area and there are many things to explore. The dolphin pool has been refurbished and the shows are now included in the price, which makes the entry tickets more expensive, but they are still at an acceptable price for what you get offered in the zoo....

Nice mid size zoo. The main attraction here is Dolphinarium. If you are lucky you can book "begegnung mit Dolphinen", which means "Afternoon with Dolphins". You must call approximately 3 months before and make your reservation, its very very hard to call there, everybody wants to go to this attraction. Phone is busy. Only 6 people in day can visit....

Spend hours here wandering around the huge grounds, take your time and be sure not to miss any of the animals! Tip: the chips in the restaurant are good, too! More

We were travelling on my son's 7th birthday so I thought this would be a perfect place to spend some time. Being December it had hardly any visitors and we wandered around basically on our own. Our favourites ofcourse were the Polar Bear cubs and we spent quite some time watching them taunt and play with each other while the... More
