 Third oldest zoo in Germany |
Riehler Straße 173 Riehl Cologne, NRW 50735 Germany +49 221 7 7850 http://www.zoo-koeln.de |
The Cologne Zoo is Germany's third oldest zoo. It has a long history and is still, as always, a much-loved place to visit. In 1863, the elephant house was the first building to be opened. The monkey-island has been there since 1914, and is a home for hundreds of monkeys of every age. In 1947, the zoo was reopened after a long closure. It is now four times the size and even more fascinating. Since 1960, each year a new attraction has been added. An owl-house was built in 1997, and in April of this year a new 'rainforest' was opened. It is inside a huge building with palm trees and humid, tropical air. Paths weave through stone and over bamboo bridges. Amongst the exhibits is plenty of information about the rainforests and the man's ecological threat to them. The feeding times are always popular. At the end of your visit, stop by the Zoo-venir shop for a postcard or a T-shirt featuring your favorite animal. Lots more information can be found on the zoo website. Prices are EUR 8.50 for adults, EUR 4.75 for children (4-17 years). Feeding Times are 11a, 2p, 4p for sealions, 10:45a, 4:30p for penguins, 3p for babboons and noon and 4:30p for otters.
