Originally called Ruhr-Zoo, Zoom Erlebniswelt was built atop a heavily shelled area besides the water. The zoo is divided into habitats based the animals' natural environments, including Alaska, Asia, and Africa. Between the entrances to these areas, several houses hold smaller animals, insects, and educational exhibits. Before you reach any of these sites, you'll be introduced to the zoo's version of a Westphalian farm, which teaches you about the foundation of Germany life in the country. In its early days, the port provided the zoo with animals from the animal-trading industry. Now the zoo does its best to breed within its animal population.

Amazingly build combo of Zoo and Playground. The zoo has hidden paths, slides and even a boat trip through the enclosure of the monkeys and other animals. Never been to a zoo like this.

Quite disappointing. Major lack of maintenance. There was no staff to be found throughout the whole park.

We have been here with friends and our daughter. This is really a big place to explore and good. Definitely visit this as you can find many things here. We had even tried the Alaska experience on the 8 minute ride which was super good. This was not for younger kids.

A great place to be with your family members especially when you've small kids in your family... Actually we love to see animals so, we bought a year ticket (Jahreskarte) and with this ticket, you will get some discounts as well in other partner zoos. Normally in Zoos, animals are often kept in small spaces but here in Zoom Erlebniswelt, the spaces provided to the animals are really big and are well maintained and well decorated with natural plants and greeneries.. So it somehow gave me a feeling of natural parks.

The Zoo is Wonderful. We experienced so many adventures but this one is on the top 3. Perfect space and care for the animals, super entertainment for the families and great outdoor places for lunches. We'll come back for sure 😄😄😄

A very nice Zoo that'll keep you and your kids busy. The animal closures are nice and (mostly) appropriate, there's a wide variety of animals to see. A highlight is definitely the Igloo Experience, a 4D Ride that is fun for kids and adults.

If your planning to go at this zoo please don’t hesitate, it’s so beautiful and they are a variety of different animals to see we actually went for a ride in snow 😂in Alaska which was so beautiful, the food there is a bit pricey so you can pack your own food and drinks and then enjoy, everything there is very beautiful
