We were traveling with an 18 month baby so we had to schedule some fun actitvities for everyone, turned out we all enjoyed the visit to the zoo. It is really easy to get there using the metro system.

The Frankfurt City Zoo is localized in the main city area. The best way to get there is by tram or subway. To my knowlegde the zoo is the smallest city zoo in germany. Nevertheless the zoo is nice with some exotic animals. The monkey house is very nice as well as the tiger house and the night house, where... More

It is not the most modern zoo, but they are doing some work on it. For a smaller zoo it had a lot of different animals we hadn't seen before, and we were excited you can get up close to mother and baby animals. It had a lot to offer. It will be nice when it is finished being renovated.

Nice place! Sundays you can go there with your kids and let them have fun with small and big animals. Maybe it is not to big but the stuff is friendly and there is enough to see.

The Frankfurt Zoo was a lot bigger than I had anticipated it being. We had allocated 2 hours for the visit, but could have been there a lot longer. Great for kids and adults alike. Admission is 8euro for adults, which isn't too bad really considering the variety of animals they have. Unfortunately the main entrance was closed, looks like... More

The zoo is located in the middle of the city centre. The entrance did not look too good but what I experienced inside was quite amazing. (consider it's a tiny zoo) There were loads of animals and all were sorted into different categories. I like the nocturnal area most. There were loads of special animals within this park. I think...

We arrived at about 11 on a Sunday, having decided spontaneously to visit the zoo as it is one of the few things we were sure would be open. It was a freezing day but lots of the exhibits were inside which was a huge relief. We almost didn't go into the Bat cave as we thought it would be... More
