 Hey, hey we're the monkeys |
Königsteiner Straße 35 Frankfurt, HES 61476 Germany +49 6173 79749 http://www.opelzoo.com |
Situated in the middle of the forest near Kronberg in Taunus, this zoo boasts a fantastic variety of wild animals from every continent, including elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, monkeys and wild cats. The enclosures are large and designed with the animals in mind. A special section contains farm animals which the kids can feed and stroke. There are a number of play areas with slides, trampolines, cable cars and a miniature railway. The zoo is named after Adam Opel, founder of the motor company which bears his name.

Frankfurt Zoo |
Adolf-Brehm-Platz 16 Frankfurt, HES 60316 Germany +49 69 2123 3735 http://www.zoo-frankfurt.de/ |
Frankfurt Zoo was established in 1858 and is one of the oldest in Germany. The zoo is linked closely with the name of the famous animal expert and researcher Bernhard Grzimek. After the War, it was Dr. Crzimek who took care of rebuilding the wrecked buildings. After being appointed as the zoo's director, he also took care of purchasing animals, new buildings and modern enclosures. The special attractions today are the tigers, lions and leopards, the snakes and spiders, and the so-called day and night house which simulates the night-time - so that visitors can see what animals get up to after dark! The 11 hectare zoo now boasts over 600 different species and a total of 5,000 animals. Review © 2007, Wcities |
