We visited in December 2011 which was when they were doing the 'Winter Zoo' and it was a great experience. They had most of the usual animals to see (apart from a few that can't handle the cold) and also turned the central area into a winter wonderland with a large ice skating rink (small charge payable) some ice slides...

Distinct geographic areas are nicely arranged. All kind of different animals. Great 'expedition' canoe ride. And when you are tired, you can enjoy good food. Plenty of pay parking. Excellent public transportation access. ATM by the door. Only negative experience is that they won't take American Express for tickets. V and MC only. Play areas inside. You can easily spend... More

This is a very nice zoo, even in wintertime. The different theme's are very nice. There where some animals we could not see, because they where inside. The food was not expensive and very tasty. More

Zoo Hannover is one of the best zoos I have visited in the last years. Recently renovated it has a beautiful area called yukon bay which looks exactly like you would walk through Canada. The animals look to feel comfortable and it looks like they would be in their natural habitat. It's a great place to visit with children but... More

Had a fantastic day @ Erlebenis Zoo. As i visited in January a lot of the animals had a been moved inside due to the cold temperatures and the river cruise through the zoo wasn't running but this didn't detract from the experience. Highlights include the Sloths and Orangutans but by far my favourite part of the zoo was the... More

Having been to many zoos around the world this one was clearly the best I have been to iin my life. And the most expensive, but fully worth the money. More than enough pparkin places to start with lots of cashier boxes so no waiting times there, the staff there pretty helpful and friendly. You are greeted by some guinea... More

From start to finish the day was amazing. All the animals unlike other zoos I have visited were all grouped together as they would be in the wild. To start with we went around the african animals, helped by the small boat trip around the animals. getting so close to the giraffes and zebras drinking water in the man made... More
