We had to spend a couple of hours in Hamburg and we chose the Zoo as our date-time destination - and did we choose well!!! We (my fiancé and I) spend about 4 hours in the zoo, without having lunch there. The landscape is very nicely done up, the animals look like they are well taken care of. The place... More

Every child loves to feed the elephants and the stone dinosaurs that you can visit at Hagenbeck's. I visit at least once every year and have to admit that I am like a child once I have stepped inside of the Tierpark. Up until I was about 8 years old I believed that my childhood favourite (fictious) elephant Benjamin Blümchen... More

We were feeding the elephants and walking around for 6 hours. We were with our 2 years daughter and enjoyed animals. The only thing that all "restourants" for lunch were very common (like typical German fast food). But it was ok... More

Lots of interesting exotic animals in open, landscaped settings rather than in cages and pens. Don't miss the dedicated Orang-Utan house and the tropical aquarium where parrots fly directly over your head. A bit on the expensive side, though, but worth it! More

We visited this zoo in March 2011 and I loved it! When you enter the park you can buy a small basket of veggies and then hand feed the elephants! They are all standing by waiting to grab the veggies with their trunk. It is a really fun experience. The rest of the park was very nice too. We went... More
