The grounds of the zoo are beautiful - however, in terms of animal confinement, it is horrible. I have been to so many zoos that have updated and provided a larger and a more natural environment for their animals. Stuttgart's zoo reminds me of the zoos I went to as a child where the animals are stuck in small cages.... More

This zoo was absolutely gorgeous. We went on a rainy day, because I saw on the website that the covered walkways made even bad weather visits possible, and it was the perfect drizzly day activity. The flowers and landscaping were meticulously done and very beautiful and impressive. The animal enclosures are not small, and are made to look very much... More

Had been built as the palace, Wilhelma Zoo is elegance, and look wonderful. Some people may say Wilhelma Zoo is a very big zoo, but compare to many zoo that I've seen, I must say it is not that big. The surrounding is clean and well organize. The zoo is easy to access by public transportation as well.

The zoo is nicely laid out, although be prepared for a bit of a walk, as the exhibits twine up and around some rather steep hills. The antique buildings and gardens are breathtaking and very well kept up. The aquarium is also very nicely put together, and is right inside the zoo. Overall, a nice day out (it will take... More

Go visit the Stuttgart Wilhelma Zoo and botanical gardens. You'll find a big selection and variety of animals from around the globe in indoor and outdoor habitats. Plan a full day there, since this Zoo is huge and combines also the botanical gardens. There are bistros and restaurants inside that will cover your need for the day. Fun for the... More

This place was amazing. The botanical garden mixed in with the zoo was a real treat. The animals all look healthy and clean. The gardens were so pretty and well taken care of. I highly recommend anyone who likes zoos or gardens to visit this place.

I could spend all days watching all the different monkeys they have. Been here under 2 years and have visited twice. They have so many different animals, love walking in and seeing Penguins! Then off to the Kangaroos and many different animals. Not only do they have cool animals to see they have a beautiful landscape and gardens to walk... More

Pretty Zoo and great selection of animals. My kids really enjoyed it. All the information is in German and no reading material in other languages is offered at the zoo.
