    Phew - I can't understand all the good reviews. 4€/adult is ok. Except for a few goats and (when they are not being prepared for riding) a few ponies that you can get closer to. Otherwise, guinea pigs, rabbits etc. where you have to keep your distance. The “playgrounds” are not only unattractive, but also completely unkempt and broken. A hodgepodge of discarded devices. Maybe our daughter is just too young for this place, but I didn't like it at all!

    Great facility. We enjoyed coming here with our children. There are unpaved parking spaces for about 10 cars directly in front of the entrance.

    The Ark has been there for as long as I can remember and now I visit it with my grandchildren. The children have fun, think it's great to feed and pet the animals, ride a pony or a carriage, play, discover new things... and now in the summer, shade almost everywhere is just great, everyone there is doing a great job and yet it's missing for everyone Effort to raise money or sponsors (Meerbusch has so much potential!)...Dear people, go regularly to the Ark with your children and grandchildren, you can use any support there and it's fun too.....

    Noah's Ark, a sustainable event for families and animal lovers. Animals that have had a terrible fate are taken in here and are allowed to spend the rest of their lives in dignity. The small petting zoo is not chic, but super authentic. Kindergarten children freak out here, ride mini tractors for free, ride small ponies at moderate prices, scream and learn that pigs, chickens, sheep, goats and rabbits like attention. Young families will also find changing tables and a small drinks and ice cream kiosk here at Schnulleralarm. The animals are not all pretty, but they are a diversity club and have personality. You can also donate. For food or care. Parking is free. #animalwelfare #sustainable #nature #animals #family

    It was really a very unkempt and run-down zoo/park. The prices are really hard to justify *of course it has to be financed in some way, I would also pay more if at least the devices were fully functional* Even the ice cream I bought from there was so full of frost, which made it difficult to judge how long it had taken it was already there. All vehicles are broken, it's a shame, not worth a visit. Coincidentally, I saw the answer to this and I have to say that what makes things even more frightening is how constantly everyone's criticism is dealt with. Not a single thing is accepted, not in a single review!!! Almost everyone is accused of lying or something else. Even with a photo as evidence, people would probably assume that you are not telling the truth. Same thing with the ice cream, I wouldn't bother if the ice cream wasn't actually completely frosty everywhere, making it inedible. This is absolutely not what you would call good handling of complaints and complaint management. Instead of apologizing, you start firing. Another reason to avoid this zoo, very incompetent handling of objectively expressed criticism!!!

    The perfect place for a trip with the children. There are lots of animals and play equipment for the little rascals to explore. Once a day the children can ride donkeys and ponies. This place definitely needs more support. An absolute oasis that is worth a visit.

    Nice place for smaller kids and those who love animals. Plenty of shadow makes it a good spot for warm, sunny days too. Come close to 3pm if you wanna book a horse ride or get the animal feed. They run out quickly on a busy day

    My daughter loves it here, she loves feeding the animals and riding the horses and even wants to help out when she is older, my older son sometimes still joins too. The place is well shaded so it is great in the summer, the animals are very well cared for and you can see that they are the main focus, if it is too hot, events like the riding are cancelled so the animals are not caused any extra stress, at the moment you can feed only the sheep to stop the risk of other birds coming in and spreading the bird flu, so once again the focus is on the well-being of the animals and that is what counts, staff are very friendly

    They have ponies, donkey, goats, sheep, chicken, ducks, geese, rabbits and guinea pigs. You can feed goats, sheep and ducks there and also walk with ponies.

    A really great place, with great attention to detail! Really nice for children and the prices are completely reasonable and in my opinion could be higher. Everyone was always friendly and nice! However, I have to deduct a star. There is no requirement to wear a helmet when riding a pony! That's a minus point for me personally! This is where you as a parent come into play.

    My daughter (1 year 7 months) thought it was nice. It was very crowded when we visited, so others probably like this farm too. Yes, the toys are old, but most of them work. The plastic slides and bobby cars were great for my daughter. She doesn't care if things are dirty either, she's a child. She got very close to the interested animals, even without food. She stroked a goat's horn and a donkey's nose, and a chicken nudged her finger with its beak. She found that very funny. We were satisfied with the afternoon, even if it wasn't enough for 5 stars. The option to pay by card would be great.

    We were there with our grandson, I can't recommend Noah's Arch. Everything was very unclean, uninviting and pretty shabby. I'm sorry but I can't understand the 4-5 star reviews. I'm aware that such an establishment costs a lot of money costs, but everything could still be made a little friendlier.

    Really a nice place for toddlers. My daughter loves animals and was like in paradise among all the animals she knows from the books. The facility is really nicely kept. Nice operator with a small kiosk, delicious muffins & warm drinks. The animals have a really good time there. We will definitely come more often.

    Small but beautiful zoo. There are lots of toys for the children and they can feed the goats. Pony/donkey riding is also possible. One star deducted because I think the round is too small and over quickly.

    Nice project, certainly always worth a visit, but not something permanent, the playground or playgrounds are pretty nice in themselves. Toilet in the form of Dixie toilet available.

    Our children had a very nice time here.

  • 1/5 Mehida S. 11 months ago on Google
    Everything is old, worn out. Toys don't even function. I don't understand why not freshen the place up a bit? Horrible

    Very good place to visit with kids in afternoon. There are small park to play and animals to feed. They also have place to celebrate small children party.

  • 5/5 Ram G. 6 years ago on Google
    Its a beautiful place to spend an afternoon. They have ponis, chickens, sheeps, goats and pigs. Kids can feed the animals for 1 € and pony todes are offered for 2€/kid. Its also possible to celebrate children birthdays there, for approximately 50€ one can reserve a hut with tables for celebration.

    Nice little petting zoo. Think it's more for the younger kids really but we still did enjoy it.

  • 4/5 reshma j. 4 years ago on Google

    Small zoo in small city.

  • 4/5 Ashwin K. 4 years ago on Google
    Small and cozy petting farm. Nice place for families with kids under 8 years. They have a few play areas and some old trikes and bikes for the kids. Pony and mule/donkey rides are possible for an extra charge. Missing 5 stars due to the bathroom facilities. Parking can get full quite easily so you might have to go hunting nearby.

  • 5/5 Kaylene S. 5 years ago on Google
    My boys love going to 'the farm ', as they call it...the animals are fat and happy.lots of enclosed spaces for the kids..pony rides at 4pm daily, can feed the animals and gets snacks at the little kiosk. The ladies at the office understand a bit of English.. we go there monthly...is really fun.

    The animals seem to be kept in a species-appropriate manner!

😠 Nice environment. Beautifully scenic. Only the ugly Steinkopp is really out of place here. I would have hidden it on an Erft Island!
