Erlebnis-Zoo Hannover
About

Erlebnis-Zoo Hannover is a pioneering adventure zoo that redefines wildlife experiences through immersive, themed landscapes and conservation-focused storytelling. Opened in 1865 and extensively redesigned in the 1990s, the zoo spans over 22 hectares and hosts more than 3,000 animals across seven distinct worlds. Visitors can explore the African savannah in “Sambesi,” cruise past hippos and giraffes, or wander through “Yukon Bay,” a Canadian-style harbor with underwater views of polar bears and sea lions. “Jungle Palace” evokes the grandeur of India, while “Outback” and “Meyer's Farm” celebrate Australian and Lower Saxon rural life. The zoo emphasizes education and sustainability, with breeding programs for endangered species and interactive exhibits for all ages. Seasonal events, keeper talks, and play zones make it a favorite for families and tourists alike. Erlebnis-Zoo Hannover combines entertainment with ecological awareness, offering a world-class destination where nature and culture meet.
