Went to the Zoo and paid full entry price only to find once I got inside that half the Zoo remains closed off to visitors. There are no signs before you enter to tell you this and then I was told by staff that I should have known better because they have it written in about size 8 font amongst a huge block of other text somewhere on their website and only in German. Very poor, very disappointing, very unimpressed. Wouldn’t have wasted the money on the flights from England, hotel, trains and tickets if I had known. What a mistake.…

Took kids to the ZOO on a Sunday morning and spent half a day there. Spacious, with plenty to see. The dolphins show is entertaining for all age groups. Queues at food stands and bathrooms as one would expect. Overall a very good experience.

On visiting Duisburg on Family business we took time out and visited the zoo. Was very large so the price we thought would be worth it..

My partner and i had nothing to do as it was a Sunday and most things are closed in Germany on Sundays so, we decided to go to the Zoo. We were pleasantly surprised by the variety of animals at this Zoo. The enclosures that the animals were in were well kept and a good size for the animals they homed. We were amazed by the Dolphin show which was included in the entry ticket. In other attractions that have dolphins you are usually charged between 30-50 euros just to watch a show. The show was family friendly and very inclusive of the audience. We will be visiting again and will recommend to friends and family.…
