A zoo visit is always one of the highlights of our trips with our young daughter. We were surely not disappointed with our visit to Munich zoo. It was also a glorious day so the animals were out and about! We also enjoyed the atmosphere in the children's playground.

Visited on the 9th May which was a public holiday so the place was packed. Despite this, could view most of the animals which appeared to be kept in very clean conditions. Entrance fee was 12 euros per adult. Took bus no. 52 from Marienplatz that leads you directly in front of main zoo entrance which seems to be the... More

This is a good Zoo, very popular with locals and the animals look happy and well cared for, ample seating areas and food/drink outlets.

My husband goes here regularly with our 1 year old and I have been once. It is a great place for a day out. Our daughter loved the goats by the Isar entrance. Just be careful that they don't eat your clothes. The cafe by the Flamingo entrance is also very nice.

I was in Munich on my own and thought a day at the zoo would be a nice respite after a trip to Dachau and it was just what I needed. It's very easy to get to the zoo by the U-Bahn and relatively cheap (12 eoros for adults) The grounds were immaculate and the animals all appeared to be... More

A relatively compact zoo within Munich that can be easily reached by the U-Bahn, making it quite popular and well attended. The Zoo itself is a series of meandering roads through a forest, with the animals within discreet enclosures in forested meadows. Great care has been taken to make the enclosures appear as much a part of the natural landscape... More

Very well presented zoo! The animals had sufficient space to be content, it was organized and well thought out. The animals were healthy and well cared for. We took in both the bird show and the elephant show and both were done to present the animals respectfully and didn't appear to exploit them in any way. Having visited many zoos... More

I was quite excited to go see this zoo, but i was left a little bit disappointed. Many of the enclosures seem out-dated and small for the size or number of animals that live there and there were lots of signs of poor maintenance. This could of course be due to the economy, but that should not affect the animals'... More

What can I say... I don't like caged animals, but I admit they have good conditions. However, I've seen better zoos.

We used to be regular visitors when our children were smaller. We like the way the park is set up. There is a great playground in the zoo as well. On summer evenings you can stay longer after closure time and enjoy the park in a more quiet atmosphere.
