Urwaldhaus

Zoo

👍 Really a nice zoo, everything was very clean and well maintained. You can experience a lot of animal feeding and there is a lot to discover, especially in the animal houses. I think the entrance fee is reasonable. We were able to take many beautiful photos. Definitely worth a visit and a must see if... People often mention house, jungle, nice, beautiful, animals, monkeys, Sehr, great,

    Jungle house for Bonobos, Western lowland gorillas, Borneo orangutans, dress monkeys, bear monkeys, Guereza and pygmy monkeys, the smallest known primates in the world with 14 centimeters size. The jungle house opened in 1985 was one of the first immersion enclosures in Europe. A jungle-like living environment was created in an 11-meter-high greenhouse covering an area of 2,200 square meters, through which a visitor's path winds for around 170 meters. The floor is modeled in different levels to provide the monkeys with communication paths, open spaces and circular walks. This allows the alpha animal to present itself on raised platforms. There are thick ropes for hanging, swinging and climbing. In addition, the monkeys can reach the nature-green landscaped grounds via cage walks.

    Зоопарк понравился. Но думала, что для украинцев скидка есть ещё. Мне сделали - 10% по Кельн-пасс только. А раньше была стоимость 5€ для украинцев насколько я слышала.

    The Cologne jungle house from 1985 is home to bonobos, gorillas and orangutans. Cologne's last monkey also lives in the house together with a crested langur, as well as pygmy marmosets, black-mantled tamarins and guerezas, and bearded monkeys in an annex. Large and beautiful outdoor areas are available to all animal species (with the exception of monkeys: this is outdated and no longer appropriate for the species). Every year you can see young animals here somewhere, currently with the pygmy marmosets.

    As time changes, such a jungle also experiences different perspectives, because the natural jungle as a repository of diversity is becoming increasingly rare, but the findings do not keep pace with the political realities, hence this valuable lesson in nature, most people hardly ever go to the Amazon or travel to the Congo Basin, but here you can visit on your doorstep with great attention to detail

    The sloth moved: once through the whole house and for me the most beautiful thing was that he climbed right above me. Within reach ;) a great experience

    A beautiful, well-kept zoo. It takes a lot of time to get around it all. We were able to walk less than half of it in 2 hours, including the aquarium.

  • 5/5 Валера �. 5 years ago on Google
    Замечательное, сногшибательное, умопомрачительное место. Большой океанариум - много рыбок с разных рек, морей и океанов. Огромный террариум-большой выбор змей, ядовитых жаб и лягушек, вараны. На втором этаже : комната где бабочки летают и садятся на поситителей, скорпионы, колония муравьев и многое другое! Зоопарк помпезный! Животные ухоженные и не воняют. Огромные вольеры. Если начинать экскурсию обходить с права то вы увидите: сельские животные, потом идёт вольер с крокодилами и бегемотам, далее обезьяны, семья жирафов, напротив 🦏, вольер с совами. Очень игривые и позируют пингвины, есть илюминаторы для просмотра 🐧 в естественной среде. Слева морские котики, справа Огромное место для слонов (вольером его назвать сложно- очень огромная площадь), там резвился маленький слонёнок. Рядом большая площадка засыпанна песком для детей - горки, качели, песочницы, верёвочный парк. Потом идут горилы, шемпанзе,леопарды,зебры. Огромный остров Красно попых обезьян - гамадрил. Интересное животное - тапир. Очень много розовых фламинго (моя дочь сказала - они галдят как курицы на насесте). Очень понравились - СУРИКАТЫ, замечательные маленькие суслики.

    Mooi aangelegd oerwoudhuis. Het is er warm en ik zag allemaal verschillende vogels. Ook zag ik een goed verstopte hagedis los lopen in dit gebouw. Dit oerwoudhuis ligt op de looproute en is zeker de moeite waard om te bezoeken.

    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately we were a bit disappointed by the visit to the zoo. Many enclosures were empty and I remembered the zoo cleaner. And almost 20 euros admission is already fierce. Hopefully that will benefit the animals. (Original) Leider waren wir von dem Zoobesuch doch etwas enttäuscht. Viele Gehege waren leer und ich hatten den Zoo sauberer in Erinnerung. Und fast 20 Euro Eintritt ist schon heftig. Hoffentlich kommt das den Tieren zu Gute.
