    We visited the Opel Zoo on Easter weekend. When we arrived at 0900 we found ample parking, but later in the day, it looked like people were having a harder time finding a parking spot. We did see an Audi station wagon hit the median driving to the parking that was near the front of the park, so be careful when pulling in. The zoo had large exhibits for all of the animals and our toddler was able to see most animals without having to be picked up which was very nice. We were able to go most places in the zoo with our stroller, but there were a few paths that are only possible if you are on foot. Overall we had a great time and will go back again!

    It is the best zoo I’ve ever been! First of all, it’s huge 😍😍😍 You will need at least half a day to discover the whole area. Secondly, you can buy carrots (2,50€ a pack) at the entrance and feed animals on your own. They also have an area where you can come in yourself and walk around next to goats, donkeys and sheep 🐑 that are very very cute and hungry (😂). We also saw elephants, giraffes, deers, penguins, rabbits, pigs and different birds. I recommend coming during the week when there are not many people and when the weather is good. There is also a big playground for kids.

    Animals: not so much verity (Eg. No lions or tigers). Some areas are closed when we arrived at 16:00. Suitable for young kids(<=8yrs) Atmosphere: - amazing, clean paths and restrooms. There is a small zip line and an outdoor area for kids to play. - There is a restaurant by the entrance and a kiosk inside the park. Price: 4 adults and 1 child (<=6) cost 77€

    We have been to this zoo several times and it never disappoints. This is a great day trip, there is plenty to see. Parking can be hit or miss which is to be expected of a nice zoo like this. There has always been parking though, just a bit crowded depending on the days. Carrots can be purchased at the cashier for two euro and there is other feed throughout the park. Kids love to pet the animals and this place is great for that! If you go online, you can book an experience with the lemurs for free!! Totally recommend!! My kids and myself had a blast being on the other side of the cage and interacting with them. The park is always clean and the animals look happy. Their enclosures are clean and they have plenty of space to roam around. Highly recommend.

    Ein wunderbarer Ort für einen Ausflug mit den Kindern. Nicht billig, aber sehr schön und am Vormittag auch nicht übervoll. Wir kamen bei allen Stationen mit den Kindern nach ganz vorne. Behindertengerecht in jeder Hinsicht, vom Parkplatz über die Kasse, Toiletten, Tiergehege, es ist ggf. alles barrierefrei erreichbar. Menschen wie Tiere waren beachtlicher Weise gleichermaßen entspannt. Die Kinder hatten großen Spaß beim füttern der Tiere, da wo es erlaubt war, Achtung dies ist nicht überall der Fall, aber immer ausgeschildert. Für uns war der Ausflug ein wunderbares Erlebnis.

    Einer der schönsten Zoos, die wir bisher besucht haben. Es gibt die vielfältigsten Tiere zu sehen und die Gehege sind sehr artgerecht. Für Kinder gibt es nicht nur viel zu entdecken sondern auch einen schönen Spielplatz. Der Zoo liegt sehr schön. Allerdings sollte man gut zu Fuß sein, denn es hoch und runter.

    Loved the option to feed the animals. My boy enjoyed it. You get to see the animals very close and nice to see they have a bit of area to roam. Would be nice if we have more variety of wild animals.

    This is an excellent zoo and a great day out. We’ve been morning on our dogs absurd leash reactivity. Its really great that there are lots of little paths that we were able to swerve into when he needed a little break or summer time away. There is a great selection of animals that seem to have a great deal of space in their habitats. There is a great little kiosk and an even better restaurant. There were some indoor areas that we stayed out of with the dog but we might check them out later. There is a season ticket price of 50€ which is worth about four visits. They sell bags of carrots and vending machines with food too feel the animals. Its worth a trip, and a season ticket if you’re going more than once.

    Very nice zoo. Great green area with nice lanes for walks, areas to rest and watch the animals. Good variety of animals including giraffe, zebras, elephant, penguins, hyenas. You can spend while there with options to have something to eat.

    We visited the Opel Zoo on a Saturday. Unlike traditional zoos, the Opel Zoo provides spacious habitats for animals, allowing them to roam more freely and exhibit their natural behaviors. As you wander through the zoo, you’ll have the privilege of observing animals in environments that closely mimic their native habitats. The Opel zoo offers the opportunity to observe elephants, giraffes, reindeer, various species of birds, and playful monkeys in a nice scenery. My highlight was the enclosures where visitors can feed the sheep and goats. I find the prices for the carrots and the animal feed to be too expensive. However, I hope at least it benefits the zoo. Definitely worth a visit!

    Best zoo by far. Animals have awesome enclosures, plenty of space, plenty of trees. Makes you feel better about seeing animals in capture. €2 for a bag of carrots - but you can bring them from home too. Lots of walking, up and down hills - bring a wagon or stroller for kids. Sambesi (?) Restaurant/Cafe has a lookout over the elephant enclosure and serves good food fast. Big, super fun playground for kids. Only negative is the various "checkpoints" throughout the Zoo creating massive bottlenecks during busy periods - yet there's no way to get to either side of the checkpoint without paying entrance fee.

    Very nice zoo with a wide variety of exotic animals. It is very big, so expect to do a lot of walking up and down hills. I took my two dogs and they had a good time. Lots of other people also bring their dogs so keep that in mind. The only thing I did not like about this zoo is how high their prices are. It’s a small fortune! They charge €2 per dog, €9 per child, and €15 per adult. And if you want to buy food to feed the wildlife, that will be another €4. Our one day visit cost us over €40. Other than that we had a delightful visit to the Opal Zoo.

  • 3/5 rainypraha 2 years ago on Google
    zoo in a very nice natural surroundings but I could smell commercialized and very mean service from the entrance. 50 cents for a A4 size zoo map which is normally offered for free at other zoos and there are many vending machines for feeding animals. The nicest spot where you can look down elephants and giraffes is located in the restaurant, of course… If the entrance fee is cheaper than other zoos, it’s understandable. But after paying 15,50€ as entrance fee, I don’t feel spend more money for a sheet of paper(0.5€)and carrots(2€).

    Ein sehr schöner Park....sehr gepflegt, toller Baumbestand, sehr gute Wegeführung und herrlich zu laufen. Für Kinder gibt es viel, sehr gelungen. Ein Mangel ist der Zustand der Toiletten. Diese waren nicht wirklich sauber, die Putzwagen der WC standen ziemlich verdreckt in der Ecke und sahen wenig benutzt aus. Hier ist wirklich etwas öfters wischen zu empfehlen. Fazit, ein schöner Spaziergang, schöne Gehege und reichlich Tiere zu bestaunen.

    Was great, parking good, entrance good, you buy your animal food there, food from home for feeding animals not allowed, main route is well done, cute animals, big animals really cool. Also lot of places to sit and relax, quite some up and down!

  • 5/5 Riswan H. 8 months ago on Google • 57 reviews
    Family friendly & very replayable. Good parking situation. Read about the animals on the Zoo's website, BUT if you are visiting with kids: Bring a handful of 1EUR coins for your break, there is a large playground with - among other things - bumper cars and a kids carousel. Also on the list: pony and camel riding and of course: the petting zoo. Added bonus: You can bypass the gift shop on your way out. Enjoy.

  • 5/5 André W. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Great zoo, there is a lot to offer. In my opinion, the animals had enough space in their enclosures and they were apparently doing well as far as I can tell. The park is nicely laid out and made a neat impression on me. My kids liked it too. There are plenty of parking spaces nearby. We didn't test the gastronomy. (Original) Toller Zoo, es wird einem einiges geboten. Die Tiere hatten m.E. genügend Platz in ihren Gehegen und das ging ihnen augenscheinlich gut, soweit ich das beurteilen kann. Der Park ist schön angelegt und machte auf mich einen gepflegten Eindruck. Meinen Kindern hat's auch gut gefallen. Parkplätze nah und zahlreich vorhanden. Die Gastronomie haben wir nicht getestet.

    The best zoo I've been too. They might not have too many animals but those they have are properly cared for. Enough space for the animals, it's all very green and animal look healthy and happy. Nice addition that one can feed the animals with carrots that are available to buy at the entrance, cool fun for kids. Kiosks are well equipped, it's a bit on the expensive side but not too bad in terms of what you get. We really enjoyed our trip.

Even if the parking spaces are packed, so you can expect a lot of guests, then the crowd runs wonderfully on the spacious area. (Original) Ein wirklich schöner Zoo!

    (Translated by Google) A little like safari. Large, well-kept facility with very different animals. The enclosures are usually spacious and offer the animals plenty of space. A circular path (some inclines and stairs!) Leads through the entire zoo, and you can spend several hours on it. (Original) Ein wenig wie Safari. Großflächige, gepflegte Anlage mit ganz unterschiedlichen Tieren. Die Gehege sind meist großzügig gestaltet und bieten den Tieren viel Platz. Ein Rundweg (teilweise Steigungen und Treppen!) führt durch den gesamten Zoo, dabei kann man mehrere Stunden verbringen.

    A great place for family! The entrance fee is reasonable. The person at the desk spoke enough English to make things easy. They were very friendly and we appreciate that! The zoo isn't incredibly large but it's a good hour or two of walking if you stop to look at every animal. Your ticket allows for you to get into the petting portion. The family will love it.

    One of the best Zoos in Germany! With one of the best animals in the world, the red pandas! The zoo-shop could have been much much better than it was, poor variety of souvenirs, in quite high prices. The whole place is located on a hill, so be prepared to climb up and down the whole time!

    Wir haben einen schönen Tag verbracht. Er gibt unheimlich viel zu entdecken. Schön große Gehege wo die Tür sich ordentlich bewegen können. Ausreichten Parkplätze gibt es auch. So wird die Anreise schonmal nicht so stressig. Zwei Punkte die uns nicht so gefallen haben. Einmal die Sauberkeit der Toiletten ist teilweise mies. Sorry das muss ich so sagen. Und das Essen im Park oder dem Restaurant ist alles so Imbissbuden mäßig ist das 2023 noch modern ? Fanden wir etwas schade

    Der Opel Zoo ist immer einen Ausflug wert. Sehr schöne Anlage und auch abwechslungsreich. Geht man einmal den großen Rundweg hat man eine schöne Strecke zurückgelegt. Highlight: man kann die Elefanten mit Karotten füttern, die man vor Ort an der Kasse kaufen kann. Anbei auch ein paar Impressionen.

    This was a great zoo. All the animals had a good environment where they can roam around. I went in winter so a lot of the reptile exhibit were closed as the animals were moved to a winter home. There is a free petting zoo and food machines around to feed the goats. There are other fun activities that can be enjoyed and many photo opportunities. There is also plenty of rest area around the zoo so you can sit down and eat/drink. The zoo wasn't very pack but it is also a huge zoo, so it provides plenty of space for people to not be in close proximity to each other. The zoo store has a lot of different plushies that can lead to a lot of money spent, 100% worth, but just saying watch that walet.

    When went on friday, winter season so it was almost empty and that's what we prefer to go as we can enjoy the enjoy with no rush. Zoo was quite big but not bigger as Hamburg zoo, well maintained, a lot of different animals, also some of them can be fed. Aquarium was very small, like with three four tanks that's it. I would not even call it an aquarium zone! Though, they have a bigger play zone and playground for kids. I would call it one day trip and worth the Money.

    big place, big parking lot. some animals are missing. there is a place to rest. parks for children with slides and other devices. you can buy food at the vending machine for animals. the only complaint is that the area where you can change the baby's clothes/diapers is terribly dirty and very dirty, it is stubborn dirt that shows that it has not been cleaned for a long time and it stinks. the staff at the entrance are very friendly, they welcome you with a smile. dogs allowed. children under 3 years old have free entry

  • 4/5 Stetson J. 3 years ago on Google
    It's a decent zoo. Not big but adequate for what it has. Many exhibits are very large and spacious so the animals can roam (very much like the San Diego wild animal park). Plenty of parking at no additional cost. Many food and drink vendors scattered around the park so you're never far from a drink or snack. There's 1 restaurant inside the park and another you access from outside the park but it overlooks the park so it looks like it's inside. Both are nice to visit but the one outside is pricier. You can also bring your own food. I saw many people having picnics inside. Another cool thing is you can bring your dog. All in all it's a nice park to spend the day at and the best thing of all is it's open on sunday! That's right you can now do something in sunday!

    Tickets prices are so bit high, no ticket for students. Zoo was clean but a few places where animals are living could be better cleaned. We visited this place a few years ago and now the place seemed so much more sad than earlier. Finally... It is a zoo and the animals are captured. In the restaurant food was ok but personal service was 1⭐ (waiting 20min for waitress, soft drink was horrible but wasn't option to change...)

    Nice, big terrain to jump around with kids. Animals are close to people, even in Covid time. Two suggested routes, one planned for one and other for two hours. One thing to think about is that it is not flat, you go up and down the hill :-)

    Nice zoo free parking is nice. I particularly liked that the animals had so much space to move about. All the animals seem to be taken care of very well and looked happy and healthy. You can feed most of the animals with carrots provided by the zoo which to me was cool because it keeps the animals busy and entertained. I also loved how close you can get to the animals.

    We went there with a dog, which was nice, that it was possible. We enjoyed our time there. It's very educational and an honest establishment. Though as with most zoos, you do get the feeling the enclosures seem a little too small for any wild animal to live in.

    (Translated by Google) Two days before the new lockdown we took the opportunity with the dog. As always, a great experience. Interesting that the dog made more of an impression on many kids than the elephants A great park and we keep our fingers crossed that it can get through this crisis well. (Original) Zwei Tage vor den neuen Lockdown nutzten wir mitsamt Hund noch die Gelegenheit. Wie immer ein tolles Erlebnis. Interessant, dass bei vielen Kids der Hund mehr Eindruck machte, als die Elefanten 😁 Ein toller Park und wir halten die Daumen, dass er gut durch diese Krise kommt.

    Zoo with a good diversity. Great place to take kids. Feeding of animals possible with the feed provided at the zoo..take 1 euro coins if you want to use the dispensing machines. Little disappointed that many popular wild animals like lions., Tigers, bears, chimps etc were missing

    Nice zoo with a lovely Setup and a wide range of interesting animals. I recommend the parking at the forest, to get full enjoyment of the dromedars as well. 🙂 For sure worth a visit.

  • 4/5 Elis R. 2 years ago on Google
    I went with the family and had a good time. I normally don't go to zoos but this zoo was very well kept and the animals had very good enclosures,alot a room. They didn't look like they were treated wrong and that's what I liked about it.

  • 5/5 Nicole X. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely zoo! People can buy carrots or grasses to feed animals and touch them! Very nice experience and would recommend to all people. The restaurants in the zoo also ok, fair price and taste ok.

  • 3/5 Dave P. 2 years ago on Google
    I gave three stars because half the animals were inside and couldn’t be seen there was only one kiosk open for takeout and many animals where removed because of winter but the price was the normal price which you would pay in summer when all the animals are out and all the Kiosks are open. It would be fair to have a winter price and a summer price.

    Nice and clean.. the aminals seemed well cared for. My dog found a twin double there😊

  • 4/5 SM R. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful zoo with a wide variety of animals. We enjoyed a nice lunch overlooking the elephant enclosure. My children were pleased to be able to get such a good, up-close look at so many creatures. I do think that the bathroom facilities could have been much cleaner, but it was hot and the zoo was quite busy. We will return.

    I have come here a couple times. It is soo fun I love petting the goats and sheep. This is a really good zoo to go with kids. They have a lot of hands on things.

  • 5/5 Laurin G. 8 months ago on Google
    Der Preis hämmert natürlich ziemlich rein, aber der Zoo ist auch wahrlich einer der schönsten Zoos Deutschlands. Die Gehege sind absolut schön angelegt, es gibt verschiedene ausgewiesene Rundwege und der ganze Zoo ist super strukturiert aufgebaut. Sehr interessante Tierarten gibt es hier zu sehen, welche nicht einmal der Zoo Frankfurt beherbergt. (z.B. rote Pandas) Ein Haus voller Reptilien und Aquariums ist ebenfalls vorhanden. Die Anfahrt kann per Fahrrad, Bus oder Auto erfolgen, wobei der Parkplatz ziemlich voll und klein erschien.

  • 5/5 Christiane F. 8 months ago on Google
    Zauberhafter Zoo mit vielen Tierarten. Für Rollstuhlfahrer bedingt geeignet, es gibt zwar bei den Treppen Rampen, allerdings sind manche Berge recht steil. Es gibt viele Imbissbuden mit reichhaltiger Auswahl. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Hunde sind herzlich willkommen:)

  • 4/5 Familie A. 8 months ago on Google
    Sehr schöner weitläufiger Zoo, es geht ganz schön Berg und Tal. Eintrittspreis vollkommen in Ordnung. Parkplätze gibt es viele jedoch sind sie schnell belegt und etwas nervig. Toiletten super schmutzig und das schon um 11 Uhr morgens , deswegen ein Stern Abzug.. ansonsten sehr empfehlenswert

  • 4/5 Marc R. 8 months ago on Google
    Really great variety of animals with easily viewable enclosures. Additionally, the signage is plentiful and has names and descriptions of the animals in both English and German. The animals are well-cared for and the zoo is very clean and tidy. It is VERY hilly, so be ready for a good calf workout if you're pushing a wheelchair or stroller. I would absolutely visit this zoo again.

  • 5/5 Anne-Kathrin K. 6 months ago on Google
    Ich bin nicht oft in Zoos, deswegen habe ich nicht so viele Vergleiche, aber vom OpelZoo war ich absolut begeistert. Die Tiere haben große Gehege und wirken auch recht zufrieden. Man kann ewig weit laufen und das Gelände ist sehr abwechslungsreich.

  • 4/5 Paula V. 6 months ago on Google
    Zum größten Teil schöne, weitläufige Gehege. Bis auf die Unterbringung der Affen und Katzen hat uns alles sehr gut gefallen. Die Gehege sind fußläufig gut erreichbar. Für Kinder gibt es einen wunderschönen Abenteuerspielplatz. Kostenloser, großer Parkplatz direkt vor der Tür. Auch für Essen und Trinken ist ausreichend gesorgt. Wer selbst Essen und Trinken dabei hat, für den stehen ausreichend Rastplätze zur Verfügung. Selbst für das Wohl unserer vierbeinigen Freunde ist gesorgt. Insgesamt ein sehr schöner Zoo mit nur sehr kleinen Abzügen. Wir verbrachten hier einen wunderschönen Urlaubstag.

    Sehr schöner Zoo mit naturnahen Gehegen und großer Vielfalt an Tieren. Restaurant am Elefantenhaus lecker zu annehmbaren Preisen. Schöner Spielplatz mit schattigen Plätzen zum ausruhen und natürlich die Möglichkeit Eis zu kaufen. Wir kommen wieder!

  • 5/5 Dietmar F. 6 months ago on Google
    Sehr schöner Zoo alles sehr sauber und gepflegt für Kinder das wahre Paradies waren mit den Enkeln dort 4 und 7 Jahre und waren beide sehr begeistert. Ich selbst habe einen Schwerbehindertenausweis 70 G und habe alles bewältigt obwohl es manchmal sehr steil hoch und runter geht. Selbst für Grillfreunde sind Grillplätze eingerichtet. Waren Samstag gegen 11:00 Uhr dort!

  • 5/5 Roland W. 6 months ago on Google
    Durch die TV Sendungen waren wir auf den Besuch im Opel Zoo gespannt, da wir vor dem Umbau des Elefantengeheges das letzte Mal dort waren. Und der Umbau hat sich mehr als gelohnt!!! Auch die unterschiedlichen Spielplätzen für die Kids sind super. Wer möchte kann sogar an der Grill Hütte sich selbst versorgen. Noch ein Plus sind die kostenlosen Parkplätze vorm Zoo!

  • 5/5 Ute W. 6 months ago on Google
    Ist auf jeden Fall ein Ausflug wert. Gerade weil man auch seinen Hund mitnehmen kann, sehr zu empfehlen. Anlage, bis auf eine Toilette, sehr gepflegt und es gibt viele Tiere zu entdecken. Am besten unter der Woche gleich morgens hinfahren, da ist es nicht so überfüllt

  • 5/5 Helena 8 months ago on Google
    Manifold species. Spacious and beautiful Zoo with mixed types of animals within individual enclosures. Feels very natural.

  • 5/5 Stephen J. 3 months ago on Google New
    They really take care of the animals. Giraffes and elephants in warmed pens. You can feed elephants carrots and apples. Most of the animals will eat the carrots, which is sold at the ticket counter. Restaurant are modern, clean, and have decent food and coffee. Nothing to really complain or protest against, a well ran establishment with plans to expand in the very near future.
