What a gorgeous zoo this is! Made a last minute decision to visit as there isn't much to do in Dortmund and we had the best day! A real good range of animals and shows. And we paid 4€ each! Easily spend a few hours here, even longer if you stay to watch all the feelings.

Lovely Zoo, lots of ongoing work taking place to make the enclosures bigger, lovely range of animals but very hilly!

A very nice Zoo. A nice way to spend a day out surrounded by animals. Well keept and clean. All animals look fit and well care. Worth the money (pretty cheap for Germany) and the time spend.

A nice zoo with a good selection of animals. Although it specialises in S.American animals it also has rhinos, lions, orang-utans etc. It's not huge, and some of the enclosures look a little small by modern standards but it's a good place to spend 2-3 hours and is very cheap by UK standards (about 8 euros for an adult).

Very well kept zoo, cages are clean and the animals all appear in good health. While I as a Game Ranger in South Africa have had the honour to work with real wild lions and rhino's...sad to see them in cages but I do understand the need for it. At least they are safe.

Took about 10-15 minutes to walk well signposted path to the zoo from the U-Bahn stop. Cheap admission price and attractive zoo with big enclosures for many of the animals. Orang-Utans particularly entertaining to watch along with other apes and monkeys. Didn't eat during our visit but prices seemed very reasonable.

We visited on our trip and it was a beautiful place in the autumn. 9euro entry fee was brilliant value. Their was a good range of animals some i have yet to see before which was interesting. The food was also very nice and excellent value. I liked the fact alot of the animals were in large grounds for them... More 

Great zoo, not to big, not to small. Went here with a friend back in March and was very impressed with the value, friendliness of the staff and the animals enclosures. Took about 2-3 hours to walk around, of course as the Zoo is in Dortmund all the information is in German but some of the English speaking zoo keepers... More
