Krefeld Zoo

Krefeld Zoo is a zoo in the city of Krefeld, Germany, specialized in management of primates, carnivores, fauna from the African savanna and tropical birds.

The zoo was opened on 22 May 1938, as a youth education place at the Grotenburgpark, where the area designed for the zoo was half of the total park area, where some hundred species were kept in 40 enclosures. The first director Heinrich Janßen was previously director for the natural history museum.

2012 a new enclosure for gorillas opened, and in 2014 another for penguins. Since 2014 the zoo also has its own veterinary clinic.

Sehr schöne Raubkatzen ... Schneeleopard, Gepard, Jaguar, Serval, Jaguarundi, Tiger. Auch für Hunde, die ihre Herrchen/Frauchen gerne mit in den Zoo nehmen.

Der Zoo Krefeld hat einige sehr schöne neue Anlagen wie den Gorillagarten, die Nashornanlage, das Tropenhaus und die Pinguinanlage. Zur Zeit entsteht eine Pelikan Lagune.

Kunst mit Tieren - zum Ansehen und auch zum Mit-Nach-Hause-nehmen. Diese tollen Skulpturen passen auch in den heimischen Vorgarten.

Schöner Zoo. Gerade richtig für einen halben Tag Familienausflug. 3 Stunden reichen hier definitiv aus.

Es macht einfach Spaß zusehen was hier in den letzten Jahren getan würde. Nicht nur der Besucher profitiert davon, auch den Tieren kommt es zu gute. ????
