ZOOM Erlebniswelt Gelsenkirchen, originally known as "Ruhr-Zoo", was established on April 14, 1949, and is recognized as one of the most modern zoological gardens in Germany. This historical establishment has evolved over the years to become a significant attraction for both locals and tourists alike.
Main Attractions at ZOOM Erlebniswelt Gelsenkirchen
The primary attractions of ZOOM Erlebniswelt Gelsenkirchen are large animals, predominantly mammals. It's important to note that the zoo does not house an aquarium, insectarium, or other facilities for smaller animals. This focus on larger mammals provides a unique experience for visitors.
Park Layout and Sections
Upon entering ZOOM Erlebniswelt Gelsenkirchen, visitors are greeted by an area that mirrors the character of a Westphalian farm, known as Grimberger Hof, which opened in 2004. From here, access is provided to the three distinct areas of the park, referred to as "safaris". These include Alaska (opened in 2005), Africa (opened in 2006), and Asia (opened in 2010).
