Copenhagen Zoo

It's A Wild World

Copenhagen Zoo is one of the largest zoological gardens in Europe. It was founded in 1859 by ornithologist N. Kjærbølling, and was then a part of Frederiksberg Have. The landmark of the zoo is a tall watch tower (43.5 metres) and currently the garden where the Children's Zoo is located, is inhabited with animals like goats, cows and rabbits. Copenhagen Zoo contains over 2,500 animal and bird species from all over the world. In recent years great work has been carried out in order to create more space to create believable natural surroundings for the animals. In 1998, Christian Cold designed the new entrance, which is a piece of interesting modern architecture. Another highlight at the Zoo is the Tropical House consisting of rare birds and butterflies in their natural surroundings. Check out the boa constrictor and the poisonous spiders as well.

Danish Aquarium

Copenhagen's Largest Aquarium Kavalergården 1
Copenhagen 2920
Denmark
+45 3962 3283
http://www.akvarium.dk Denmark's Aquarium is located in the Charlottenlund forest, very close to Charlottenlund palace. It is also very close to Øresund and the beach. Here children and grown-ups alike have the opportunity of studying the rare deep-sea species and many other fish and marine animals that live in the salt-water and fresh-water tanks. You will find sharks, piranhas and many beautiful turtles ranging from huge ones to really tiny ones. One special turtle has recently achieved fame, by swimming from the Mediterranean until it reached the North Sea and the beach at Jylland. Now this strong turtle is resting in one of the tanks in the aquarium. To get there, take bus number 6 and then the S-train to Charlottenlund station. There are free parking spaces at the Aquarium too. Entry fee: DKK75 for adults, DKK40 for children.

Øresund Aquarium

See the Fish of Øresund Marinebiologisk Laboratorium
Strandpromenaden 5
Copenhagen 3000
Denmark
+45 4921 3772 In this aquarium you can admire the animals and fish that live in the Øresund. There are ten different tanks, each of them designed in order to create an environment for the fish to live as they would in Øresund itself. Each Monday and Wednesday at 1p you can watch the fish being fed. The aquarium is situated a bit north of Copenhagen, in Helsingør. A visit could be combined with a visit to Kronborg Castle.
