Not good by a long way. Some nice areas like the primate area but nothing else caught my eye.

The zoo in Frankfurt was a highlight of our trip. Nicely laid out, walking around the zoo was relaxing and educational. Some animals such as the lions and bears are in exhibits with no barriers, but instead large ditches, so feel and look closer. There is a wonderful nocturnal animal section, a petting zoo, a bird house and various other... more
