    Beautiful! Natural! Pure! I think it's one of the best open game enclosures in Europe. The ideal place for children, grown ups, couples, the elderly, in short for everyone. A huge parking lot outside with a nice cafe at the entrance. The tickets aren't that cheap. It costs 11€ for adults but on the other hand, it's so much worth it. For this amount you get so much in return inside. A magnificent bird show with all the best hunting birds for eg: Falcons, owls, different species of eagles and hawks, etc. You get to interact personally and feed varieties of animals like deers, boars, red deers, donkeys, lynx, sheeps, etc, etc. You can buy animal food at the counter, I think it costs 1€ per packet. It's pure nature inside with beautiful panoramas at places where mountains, river and the skies meet each other. We love this place alot and definitely recommend it to everyone. A MUST!

    Quite a large park with many of the animals of the area exposed. The living area's of the wildlife are spacious for most animals. There is also a playground for children. In the park toilets are available and there are some coffee and lunch places around. At the entrance is a large restaurant.

    (Translated by Google) Nice area and spacious. Particularly suitable for families with children (Original) Schöne Anlage und weitläufig. Besonders für Familien mit Kindern geeignet

  • 5/5 Alexander K. 7 months ago on Google
    A very nice play for an extended family day surrounded by animals. Watching the birds fly and getting some insights was great as well. We listened to a presentation of the birds in the German language. You can bring your own food or buy food onsite.

    (Translated by Google) The show with the birds of prey was impressive. Otherwise especially recommended with children. We had enough distance everywhere. 👍 (Original) Die Show mit den Greifvögeln war beeindruckend. Ansonsten besonders zu empfehlen mit Kindern. Wir hatten überall genug Abstand. 👍

  • 2/5 Ingo L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Overall beautiful facility and nice falconers. Puppet theater is also nicely done. In the Waldschänke you are not particularly valued as a customer. I only asked if the ketchup and mayo could be served separately with the fries in a cardboard bowl. I was approached correctly and pointed out very rudely that this is only done with e.g. 8 servings of french fries. Pretty rude. Then I didn't order anything. A turnover of 20 euros doesn't seem to be of such great importance ... And to comment on the owner's answer: In my opinion, an honest, positive rating is nice - even if that's not enough for them. I don't see it as my job to criticize someone you give a platform on your site to earn money. It belongs to your park and thus also in the evaluation / The greater your claim will be to move everyone to hospitality like your great employees at the entrance and with the birds of prey, as well as at the puppet theater and the associated crepes stand ... (Original) Insgesamt schöne Anlage und nette Falkner. Kasperltheater ist auch nett gemacht. In der Waldschänke wird man als Kunde nicht besonders geschätzt. Ich fragte lediglich ob Ketchup und Mayo separat in einem pappschälchen zu den Pommes serviert werden könnten. Da wurde ich richtig angefahren und sehr unfreundlich darauf hingewiesen dass man das erst macht bei z.B. 8 Portionen Pommes. Ziemlich unverschämt. Habe dann nichts bestellt. 20 Euro Umsatz scheint nicht von so großem Gewicht zu sein... Und um die Antwort vom Inhaber noch zu kommentieren: Nett ist - auch wenn ihnen das scheinbar nicht ausreicht - aus meiner Sicht eine ehrliche positive Bewertung. Ich sehe es nicht als meine Aufgabe an jemandem dem Sie eine Plattform auf Ihrem Gelände geben um Geld zu verdienen zu kritisieren. Er gehört zu Ihrem Park und damit auch in die Bewertung/ Umso größer wird doch Ihr Anspruch in Zulunft sein alle zu der Gastfreundschaft zu bewegen wie Ihre tollen Mitarbeiter am Eingang und bei den Greifvögeln, sowie beim Kasperletheater und dem dazugehörigen Crepesstand...

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful and spacious zoo. The offer there justifies entry. The many petting enclosures were extremely interesting for the child and of course the playground too. You should definitely not miss the air show, it is really something special. The moderation was extremely entertaining and for the finale the eagles were "let loose", I've never seen them like this before! (Original) Schöner und weitläufiger Tierpark. Das Angebot dort rechtfertigt den Eintritt allemal. Für das Kind waren die vielen Streichel- Gehege superinteressant und der Spielplatz natürlich auch. Man sollte auf keinen Fall die Flugshow verpassen, die ist echt etwas besonderes. Die Moderation war ausgesprochen unterhaltsam und zum Finale wurden die Adler "losgelassen", habe ich so noch nie gesehen!

    Great place to spend a whole day with family. Heaps of animals, bird show, playground, you can buy food to feed animals, … highly recomenede

  • 5/5 Kirsten B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The admission price is absolutely justified, the air show alone was worth it. In addition to the various petting and adventure enclosures, there are great offers for children such as the nature school, a great playground and 2-3x / day puppet theater. I can only recommend the zoo. (Original) Der Eintrittspreis ist absolut gerechtfertigt, allein die Flugschau hat sich schon gelohnt. Es gibt nebst den vielfältigen Streichel- und Erlebnisgehegen tolle Angebote für Kinder wie die Naturschule, einen tollen Spielplatz und 2-3x/Tag Puppentheater. Ich kann den Tierpark nur empfehlen.

    Wow wow must go!!! Unbelievable! For all people 3 months to 120. Good to begin with the “train “ bus, that takes you around all directions to see and know where to go. First thing you have to ask when the birds show starts! Then go back and walk all the way. You can give food to the animals and go inside…. So cool. And be with them all around you. The wild birds are amazing! The “ Bambi “ so nice. You have pigs too and much more. We came with something to eat from home. Take water and good walking shoes.

  • 4/5 Erwin van W. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful wildlife park with lots of animals and birds. Only show animals on the middle grass patch where the show is couldn't fly in their own cage but were strapped to a station. Other animals have more free space to run or fly around.

  • 5/5 Srdjan I. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place in beautiful nature, animals are wonderful and people take care of them very good.At very affordable prices you can spend a wonderful day with family.My warm recommendation!!!

  • 5/5 Konrad T. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice park with very good bird show and many other wild animals, you can also food and pet them

  • 5/5 AMIT S. 2 years ago on Google
    A good place in the lap of Eifel region, very close to Eifel National Park. Good one day trip with children make the best trip to this plave. Very interesting varieties of birds and domestic cattles. Kids can enjoy in the play area too. A short train in wheel tour is also available. Options for quick drinks and some foods are there. Parking space is enough with no extra cost. Hall of fame is the Birds show which is so nice and exciting. You can get the opportunity to take photo of Eagle sitting on your hand at cost of 5 euros.

  • 5/5 Viktoria T. 11 months ago on Google
    Paradise for animal lovers. For 1€ you can buy a small bag of food, but make sure you get enough because there are so many adorable animals you want to feed!

  • 5/5 Izana B. 11 months ago on Google
    Such a wonderful place! As an animal freak I was in paradise. Animals are well cared for and have a lot of freedom. Baby goats stole the show though! We absolutely recommend visiting. You can spend the whole day walking around and admire birds, bors, deer and whatnots. Best part...you can handfeed them, touch them and enjoy the nature. A must visit when in Eifel.

  • 5/5 Lucy H. 9 months ago on Google
    Great place to visit with children. Trails for walking and Cafés. Wide range of birds and other animals. The bird show is great.

  • 5/5 Ron N. 10 months ago on Google
    This small zoo is a wonderful place to discover and interact with some animals and to learn more about them. And as a cherry on top there is also a bird of prey show. Unfortunately the show is in German, but the doesn't make it less spectacular.

  • 5/5 Konstantinas A. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice place to spend time and enjoy the show with wild birds. In addition, you can see beautiful wild animals.

  • 5/5 Andrew R. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely location in the Eifel park lots to do for the kids, nice for walking and feeding the animals.Not a lot of food options (especially for vegetarians) and the coffee takes a while but a nice relaxing day out.

  • 5/5 Kirill A. 4 years ago on Google
    We had so much fun with whole family. Great time in an amazing park 🏞️🦅👍

  • 3/5 Pieter P. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely spacious park, but not quite sure about the birds of prey on a very short leash. I hope they get more space once the people are gone at the end of the day, because it kinda looked like 'bird prison' to me. The restaurant was lovely: the food was great and the people who worked there made us smile!

  • 4/5 Maciek S. 3 years ago on Google
    It's a nice large children's zoo containing various farm animals, but also a few extra all spread out over a large area. It's possible to enter many of the pens and feed the animals using feed you can buy for a small price on location. Quite fun to do with small kids. The king of the show though is the bird show, showing off a selection of birds of prey flying from one end of the field to the other. The big finale is when they let loose their big birds to fly at several hundred meters height and drop back to earth trying to catch a tiny bit of feed. It was wonderful to see. With small kids this is a great place to visit, for older children or just adults it's not all that interesting, unless you go there just for the bird show.

  • 4/5 Jurjen L. 5 years ago on Google
    Very nice. Lots of birds and other animals to be seen. It certainly is a nice park with a goog fly show. However... I understand German quite well, but the commentary during the flight show was very hard to follow.

  • 5/5 Thorsten S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great day out for younger kids

  • 5/5 abhishek c. 5 years ago on Google
    Great place for family outings, you can feed animals and see an elaborate eagle birds show, can also take a picture with them.

    Very nice little park in the middle of the woods in the Eifel. The birdshow was amazing and the staff very sympathic.

    (Translated by Google) An excursion into the animal world for young and old. Well-kept complex with many attractions, such as the demonstrations of the birds of prey and much more. If you don't like walking, you can take the Gehege Express, an additional asset to the facility. Highly recommended when visiting the Eifel. (Original) Ein Ausflug in die Tierwelt für Groß und Klein. Gepflegte Anlage mit vielen Attraktionen, wie die Vorführungen der Greifvögel und vieles mehr. Wer nicht laufen mag, nimmt den Gehege Express, eine zusätzliche Bereicherung der Anlage.

    (Translated by Google) The park is always worth a walk or a trip. You can always experience exciting and unusual animals. The most important thing is that the animals are doing really well in the facility and are treated with understanding as appropriately as possible. Looking forward to the time when we can visit again. (Original) Der Park ist immer ein Spaziergang oder ein Ausflug wert. Stets kann man spannende und aussergewöhnliche Tiere erleben. Das wichtigste ist, den Tieren geht es in der Anlage echt gut und sie werden mit Verstand so artgerecht als möglich behandelt. Freue mich auf die Zeit, wenn wir wieder besuchen dürfen.

    (Translated by Google) We were in the park the weekend before the lock down. We were traveling with a stroller and it looked really dirty afterwards. For older children there are handcarts at the front of the door. I'm not a fan of zoos, but kids love to go. The enclosures for most of the forest animals are huge, but I would have liked the same for the birds and for the wild cats. (Original) Wir waren das Wochenende vor dem Lock Down noch im Park. Wir waren mit Kinderwagen unterwegs und der sah danach echt schmuddelig aus. Für ältere Kinder sind Bollerwagen vorne an der Tür. Ich bin kein Fan von Zoos aber Kinder gehen gerne. Die Gehege von den meisten Waldtieren sind riesig allerdings hätte ich mir das auch für die Vögel gewünscht und für die Wildkatzen.

  • 5/5 Dominik G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A wonderful experience for young and old. I can unreservedly recommend this zoo to anyone who can do anything with nature and animals. The staff is also super nice and happy to answer questions about the birds in a professional manner. (Original) Ein wundervolles Erlebnis für groß und klein. Ich kann jedem diesen Tierpark uneingeschränkt empfehlen, der auch nur ein wenig was mit Natur und Tieren anfangen kann. Das Personal ist auch super nett und beantwortet gerne fachlich kompetent Fragen zu den Vögeln.

  • 4/5 Vity J. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful spacious zoo. Many animals can be hand-fed. The animals are still easy to see despite the beautifully laid out and spacious enclosures. There are 3 times offered for the birds of prey flight show. Unfortunately, this area is very bumpy, making it difficult to keep the distances. A good place to visit with children in these difficult times. (Original) Schöner weitläufiger Tierpark. Viele Tiere können aus der Hand gefüttert werden. Die Tiere sind trotz sehr schön angelegten und weitläufigen Gehegen noch gut zu sehen. Es werden 3 Zeiten angeboten für die Flugshow der Greifvögel. Leider knubbel es sich in diesem Bereich sehr, sodass die Abstände schwierig einzuhalten sind. Ein guter Ausflugsort mit Kindern in dieser schwieriger Zeit.
